The evil Gail Bradford
Gail Bradford (Mia Barron) is the main villainess from "The Murder of the Meninist," episode 11.12 of Bones (airdate April 21, 2016). She is the ex-wife of Emil Bradford, the episode's murder victim.
Upon finding Emil's charred remains, it was uncovered that he was the victim of domestic abuse, with Gail denying beating her husband during her encounter with Seeley Booth and James Aubrey. She went on a rant regarding her husband for--among other reasons--his participation in a men's rights group known as Men Now, which drew many enemies due to the group's misogynistic viewpoints. Though there were many suspects, including Karen Walters, the wife of Men Now member Paul Walters, under the belief that Emil was shutting down the group (a claim Karen revealed was false), it was uncovered that Gail had masterminded her ex-husband's murder.
As it turned out, Emil and Karen broke into Gail's home to uncover evidence of Gail's illicit affair with her contractor, doing so due to the fact that Gail's affair would prevent Emil from paying any more alimony. Knowing this, Gail had Rob kill Emil, with Rob bludgeoning him with an iron before the villainous couple moved the body and set it ablaze. Booth and Aubrey confronted Gail with the facts at her home, and after Rob emerged, the evil Gail threw her lover under the bus, stating that Rob committed the murder on his own and that he forced her to help him move the body. Rob not only protested Gail's claim, but he revealed that Gail was physically abusive to him as well, after which both Gail and Rob were arrested by Booth.
