Rebecca Anderson was Sam Bosco's team assistant at the CBI. She turned out to be one of Red John's accomplices. Rebecca's past has not been fully revealed, but some details are known. According to Patrick Jane, she had an unhappy childhood and was molested by a close relative. The molestation led to her developing a strong sense of self-loathing, which manifested itself as self-abuse and self-medication (and could well explain how she got involved with Red John). At the time of the series, she appeared to be living a normal adult life. Rebecca said in an interview that she liked all kinds of music (especially country), had a cat named Rex, and collected porcelain frogs.
