Dalton Padron is an antiques dealer and conman who was also Raymond Toliver's partner. When Raymond told Dalton about Skinner's gold being located in the books at his old estate. Dalton then killed Raymond, but upon learning that the estate has been turned into a couple's retreat called the Waterford Institute, Dalton hastily married Randy's mother, Maria, and booked a stay at the retreat. Disher didn't like the fact that his mother married a man 3 decades younger than her and requested Monk and Sharona to spy on him. Dalton soon catches onto Monk and Sharona as they realized he wasn't actually there to fix a marriage with Maria. He even tried to trap Monk and Sharona inside an old mine by concaving it. When he overheard on the phone Lt. Disher telling Maria that Toliver's body was found and that he was the suspect, Dalton tied up Maria and began hastily searching for the gold by breaking items in the estate. He was immediately caught by Monk and Sharona and handcuffed by Sheriff Ronald Mathis. Upon learning that the books consisted of gold ink, Dalton stole Mathis's gun, retrieved the keys to the cuffs, locked everyone inside a closet, then loaded all the books in his vehicle, but as he was prepared to flee, he was immediately apprehended by Lt. Disher. His sham marriage with Maria ended shortly after.
