Katy Hill was a serial-turned-budding spree killer who appeared in season thirteen of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

History

Katy's father was Bo Mattison, a high-stakes poker player who by 1997 was almost broke. That year he took part in the Palermo Poker Classic and played against three other poker experts, Ed Ficelli, Trent Alridge and Peter Coe. What he didn't know was that his opponents, led by Ficelli, and the card dealer were all in collusion to help each other beat him. Peter Coe finished him off. A week after losing, Bo killed himself in a park. Katy went on with her life until shortly after her mother died, when she found letters written by her father revealing that he figured out that he had been cheated. She planned to take revenge on the people behind the scam and took a job as an assistant for a stage magician named James Nefarro, a.k.a. "Dr. Jimmy", who had paid Peter Coe's entrance fee into the tournament. At some point in November 2012, She murdered Ed Ficelli with a heroin overdose in a pattern resembling the four of clubs.

Posing as an S&M dominatrix, Katy murdered Trent Alridge by stuffing seven chicken hearts down his throat with a funnel. That same night, she murdered Peter Coe by throwing an Ace of Spades (specifically taken from a deck created for the 1997 Palermo Poker Classic) into his throat. A few nights later, after doing a rehearsal with Dr Jimmy that is interrupted by the CSI, she murdered Ava Rendell by decapitating her with a medieval warhammerr Dr. Jimmy had ordered for his show.

Satisfied that her plan was in place, Katy abducted James Nefarro and stuffed him in an iron maiden with a spade-like dagger pointing at his throat. The CSI team arrive to find Dr. Jimmy, and she claimed that he had fled and pointed them to the ax. She then took his car to the playground where her father had hung herself, with a spade in the trunk to trick the police who soon arrived.

At the platyground, she encounters Morgan Brody, who has deduced her motive. Katy breifly rants to Morgan before agreeing to show her where James was buried. However, Morgan figures out that it's a distraction and gets Nick to save Dr. Jimmy from her real trap. Her plan ruined, Katy tries to shoot Morgan but is shot dead in response.

Modus Operandi

"You want me to show you my cards?"
