This is a stretch, but is there any chance she's BH or involved with BH? A lot of BH's previous actions have been tied to the Lodges (ruining Pop's reputation so it could be bought for a good price, Fred Andrews not doing what the Lodges wanted, etc.) Mayor McCoy was also benefitting from the Lodges enterprises. She also hates it when her daughter gets upstaged and may have wanted to get Josie as the lead role. When that didn't happen and Midge got the role instead, whatever she hated her for before was compounded and she decided to make those "sinners" really pay the price.

Her affair with Sherrif Keller means that he could be involved as well. It's a classic manipulation tool. Even if he's not involved, a relationship with him could help her get access to the jail. Maybe she wanted to "clean up Riverdale" but not really kill anyone before because that would mean more work for her, but now that she's mad and not the mayor, so she doesn't care about that anymore?
