Clara Toplyn is a former evidence clerk for the San Francisco Police Department. After a drug bust in which 2 officers were killed, Joe Christie, who was on the force at the time, stored the drugs in the evidence room but the drugs went missing and Christie took the blame, in which he was sacked from the force. It was revealed that Clara stole the drugs by retrofitting a girls bike to look like a boys bike and stash the drugs in there so she could buy the bike in the auction and sell the drugs after retiring. When Monk discover this, they found the bike at her home and drug residue but no drugs. Clara was solely responsible for Christie's termination and the fact that a murderer was allowed to walk free. She was immediately arrested by Stottlemeyer and Disher.
