The unnamed Killer Hooker (Krista Bridges) is the main villainess from "The Cruelest Cut," episode 5.22 of The Hitchhiker (airdate November 18, 1989). She is a prostitute who has been picking up men and killing them.
The episode began with the villainess with her latest customer, seducing and making out with him before stabbing him to death. She kills another man later in the episode, which revealed that her murderous spree began before the episode's events, though the exact point in time was not uncovered.
The hooker's lone full on-screen appearance came in the episode's final scenes, as she was shown with Jason, after he had romanced Sterling, the episode's main protagonist and a fellow prostitute. Sterling catches them together and lashed out at Jason before walking away, causing the blonde hooker to express concern for Jason, who dismissed his encounter as a "small accident." The episode ends with the blonde making out with Jason, before pulling out a knife from under her skirt and stabbing Jason to death, establishing the blonde hooker's heel turn and reveal as the serial killer.
