Kaitlyn Watson

Kaitlyn Watson is a character in Season Six of Showtime's series DEXTER.

She was a housewife who killed her husband, Jim Watson, for infidelity.

Summary

 * "The Angel of Death"

Kaitlyn's husband began cheating on her at an unknown time. She eventually found out which led to a tragic set of circumstances where both of them end up dead.

The police are called out to their beach house and find the dead couple. They then call Homicide. Detective Mike Anderson is sent to investigate with assistance from Forensic Blood Spatter Analyst Dexter Morgan. At the scene, Mike initially thinks it's a double murder, and Dexter mentions the wounds on the husband's body (three gunshots - one to the chest, two to the stomach). There is also a cut on his face, which Dexter calls a "glancing blow."

Dexter finds the man's cell phone under the couch and determines from the photo of the husband with a nude woman on it that the wife is likely responsible for the deaths. This is confirmed when Dexter lifts the Kaitlyn's body and finds the gun used to kill both her and her husband. She has a single gunshot to the chest, through and through, having been shot at close range.

After the case is solved, Lieutenant Debra Morgan moves into their house. She makes as deal to pay only three fourths of the normal rent, due to the difficulty the landlord could have in finding a tenant due to the murders.
