Claire Conrad Taylor was the wife of NYPD Detective Mac Taylor. At a fairly young adult age, she gave birth to Reed Garrett, and gave him up for adoption. She later married Mac, but did not have children. She was killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, as she was in the World Trade Center at the time. She was killed on the street when the second plane hit. Even years later, Mac still mourns the loss of his wife, frequently visiting the site of the former World Trade Center, as well as keeping pictures of her, and kept a beachball, which she blew up.

Claire was portrayed in the flashbacks in the season eight premiere "Indelible" by Jaime Ray Newman.
