^^No not everyone in a sanitarium is shady.

1) She wasn't just in a random sanitarium, she was in Radley, which is tied to so much of the mystery of the show. There is probably a good reason for her being in there (mental health issues, possibly dangerous, at the very least pretty disturbed).

2) She had a personal connection to Jessica who was shady and covering for the person who hit Ali.

3)She clearly had a bone to pick with Mrs. D as evidenced by her drawings. Also to be honest, that type of artwork, especially in an adolescent or child, is often a sign of a problem.

4) She has a connection to Ali (or someone pretending to be Ali) as evidenced by the letter Hanna found in 5x13. This connection was never mentioned by Ali in 5x05 when Bethany's body was identified. So either Ali wanted the connection kept secret or some other shady person was tricking Bethany by pretending to be Ali. Either way it is a shady connection.

5) Though not explicitly confirmed, it's pretty obvious that te phone call Mrs. D took the night Ali was hit/buried was about someone escaping from Radley. This was likely Bethany. Mrs. D seemed scared and seemed to fear for Ali's safety (ie forbidding her to leave the house). This suggests that she considered Bethany dangerous (and since Mrs. D was on the Radley Board, she probably has a good idea of who is dangerous in Radley).

6) We still have not seen her face. This makes it pretty obvious that her identity is important for the writers to keep secret. Either she is a twin of someone, or someone we would currently recognize.

Also, to be clear, shady does not mean she is bad. It just means her actions make her suspicious.
