Guilty about her failure, she spent the following decades as an assassin, killing men she feared would rise to power as Hitler did. As Ingrid herself described it; during the ensuing years indeed decades; she worked for a variety of intelligence agencies becoming a master assassin and spy; learning a variety of skills. 

In modern day, Ingrid assassinated a Russian politician, Igor Stefanovich and Duncan wanted to stop her from killing her next target, an American white-supremacy advocate, Alan Wilkinson. During a discussion of Ingrid and her activities with Joe Dawson and Methos, MacLeod admitted he could not approve of her actions, but could understand them, and was torn about what to do about her: "In her heart she thinks she's right. And part of me agrees. I don't know how to stop her."   To which Methos quietly replied, "Don't you?"

When she finally killed Robert Frayne, a police officer who stood in the way of her assassination plans, Duncan realized Methos was right, and he must stop her after all.  She lost her head to him outside a venue for her most recent target's political speech.
