Tucker Franklin is a philanthropist and a killer who appeared in Killer in High Heels in Rizzoli & Isles.
History[]
Franklin killed Sofia Alvarez, his mistress, when she was pregnant with their baby, burying her at a construction site for five years. When she was unearthed and Maura Isles was the lead forensic anthropologist on the case, Franklin hired Brad Adams to seduce her, then blow scopolamine in her face to disorient her long enough to search for what she knew on the case.
Franklin then killed Adams and framed Maura for the murder, nearly getting her convicted and temporarily placing her in jail. Maura remembered being drugged, which lead to Sofia's and Adams' murders being connected. Bruises on their necks revealed Franklin punched them both in their throats with brass knuckles on his keychain. When his chain was examined in a stink, Franklin was arrested and Maura was exonerated and released.
