Kimberly Crowley (Larisa Miller) was a hidden minor villainess from "Broken Home," episode 5.16 of CSI: Miami (airdate February 19, 2007). She was the wife of Edward Crowley and the mother of their daughter, Heather.
Kimberly was also revealed to have been an adulteress prior to her death, as she was having an illicit affair with her daughter’s boyfriend, Zach Griffith. Edward had found out about their affair and confronted Zach about it late one night, with Heather witnessing their argument—initially believing that the two men were arguing about her. The brief confrontation ended when Zach killed Edward with his motorcycle helmet, and shortly after the murder, Kimberly arrived at the scene of the crime and saw her secret lover.
Instead of showing concern and grief for her deceased husband, Kimberly turned heel by informing Zach that they could finally be together and that they didn’t have to worry, establishing Kimberly's willingness to cover for Zach. At that moment. Heather (having finally heard the truth for the first time) confronted her adulterous mother, with the evil Kimberly claiming to Heather that she didn’t want her daughter to find out about her affair with her boyfriend in that particular fashion. In response, Heather killed her mother with a grill fork; striking Kimberly’s face with the makeshift weapon in a fit of rage.
