Nora Delano

Nora Delano was a villainess from "The Dark Side of the Door," episode 12.15 of Murder, She Wrote.

She was played by Mary-Pat Green.

Nora Delano was a waitress who kidnapped 12-year-old Erin Garman a dozen years before the episode's events. On the day of the abduction, the evil Nora took Erin from a playground and held her captive at an abandoned Manhattan West Village studio. Nora kept Erin for four days until a $3 million ransom was paid. In the episode's events, Nora was interviewed by novelist Dirk Matheson, who was looking to create an account of the kidnapping, with the interviews recorded on audio cassettes. After the interviews, Nora met with Matheson again in the beginning of the episode, demanding money from him after her latest attempt at a payout wasn't successful. The villainess threatened to go to the tabloids regarding her information, but after Matheson left, Nora was shot and killed by her co-conspirator.
