Krista Heldrun-Cofell was the wife of investment banker Ted Cofell. She had two children with him: Theodore and Courtney. When Ted was kidnapped by Jack Bauer, he showed his captor a picture of Krista and his children in an attempt to persuade Jack to let him go. Krista's name, as well as the names of the rest of the Cofell family, were part of Cofell's profile presented as evidence to the House Special Subcommittee.
