Grace Chandler is a volunteer at Queen of Mercy Hospital, and was in their kitchen when she received news regarding the death of her fiancee, James Manning. It was later revealed that a $2.5 million life insurance policy was taken out on James, and that Grace was the sole beneficiary.

Later on, Grace was brought in to the precinct, where she saw the woman who was revealed to be her co-conspirator, Debbie Fallon. Grace and Debbie had been taking in homeless men and taking out life insurance policies on them, and later killing them when the policies ran out. James was one of Grace's victims, and Sam Baker (Debbie's "boyfriend") was to be their next victim. Her secret revealed, the evil Grace defended her actions, stating that she and Debbie gave them two years longer they should have had. Grace (along with Debbie) was arrested for her crimes.
