Marci Maven (played by Sarah Silverman) was an obsessive fan of TV star Brad Terry, who was constantly hounding him with attention, and suggestions for improving his show. She followed him to the house of his ex-wife, Susan Malloy on the morning that she was murdered. Because of her obsessive attention to every detail of Brad's life, she recognized a clue that proved Brad was the murderer, but, in her devotion, chose to confess to the murder herself rather than betray him. Given her nutty behavior, few people had trouble believing that she had killed Susan, to remove her from Brad's life.
