Monk Wiki

Janet Novak was a foster parent who, while watching some kids in a park, realized that Tommy Graser was missing. Tommy was later found with a finger and was subsequently taken from her care.

When Tommy ended up with Mr. Monk, it was revealed that she and her husband, Raymond had kidnapped Daniel Carlyle, a violinist from a wealthy family and cut off his pinky, which Tommy had found in her purse. She let slip the fact that Tommy found a pinky when Social Services removed him from her home, and Monk pointed out that the autopsy report on the severed finger had never been released to the public. She and Raymond were arrested for kidnapping after the SFPD S.W.A.T. team breached her house.
