CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

I have been thinking about us a lot, though

All the moments

I thought we could survive anything

This trip has given me a lot of clarity

That last year in Vegas,

I could barely breathe,

let alone think

Hey, Officers!

I need your help

We've got to preserve those tire tracks

Take your stick, dig a trench

Got to divert the water

Catherine?

You covered the body

with a tarp

You contaminated the evidence

First responder tarped it before I even arrived

Thought he was helping out

I should be giving you grief You were out

Dispatch said you didn't acknowledge

What do you know?

Trucker spotted the body

Called it in

Face is embedded with asphalt

Hey, guys Got here as fast as I could

See if he's got any ID

Nothing

Rigidity hasn't extended into the limbs

The lividity's blanching

Probably been dead two to four hours

Fingers and toes are gone

Ligature marks around the posterior aspect

of both wrists

Tied up and dragged?

Well, then the rest of his body should look like hamburger

Roll him

Burnt motor oil

And his shirt looks like it was scorched

He could have been tied

to the undercarriage of a vehicle

A vehicle with a high ground clearance

Truck or SUV

We got to get this body out of here

Where are the easy-ups?

They're on their way

Before I left, um,

you said some things that I tried not to hear,

but now, uh, I think you were right

Looks like Hawk here played softball for Talmadge Media

I'll have Brass run down his real name

Two, three, four

Seven, eight, nine

stab wounds in his shirt?

What's the matter,

you got a migraine?

No

Go call Brass

All right

Well, I still have to do the paperwork

and fill out a tox request

on a hit-and-run

Tissue was white, so, no blood flow

Means, what happened to the face happened postmortem

I can see his brains through his nasal cavities

That's cool

Well, BRB- be right back

My wife's got me into texting now

No, that's it, Jim Thanks

Rope marks on the upper and lower torso,

but no bruising

Postmortem

So are the stab wounds

Nipples are swollen

And it looks like puncture wounds

around the areola

If it was tattooing, there'd be ink

Piercing, there'd be metal

I don't know, man

A kinky way to shoot up drugs?

I'll have Robbins work up a histo

Eight and three quarter-inch tread width

So, that's consistent with a small truck or SUV

Boy, there must be a lot of clay in this soil

Otherwise, this track would have totally washed away

My shoes are ruined

Why didn't you tell me to wear boots?

Or, better yet, hire some more CSIs

Trust me, you were my last choice

Thank you

Ow! Ow!

Catherine, man down!

Found a rope

Got a splinter

Think I pierced an artery

It looks like blood

Nylon rope

Must have been used to tie the body to the undercarriage

When the rope melted,

body dropped onto the road

Killer's driving along

Loses his cargo,

pulls over,

and drags the body out into the desert

Must have been an accidental body dump

Why go to the trouble to tie it up

under the car in the first place?

Because if a cop stop you,

they're going to look inside the car, not underneath it

Let me take a walk through Hang back a second

All clear

No sign of forced entry

Apart from us

Why don't you take this?

I'll check the back

Well, I got an ID

Ian Wallace was a good-looking kid

Smells like citrus

Got a blood drop with an air bubble

Got to be saliva

Hey, somebody got punched

Found more blood

Somebody tried to clean up

Ran tox on hamburger head

Low levels of THC and alcohol

For what's it worth, I don't think

he was injecting weed or beer into his nipples

Although, this one time, Hodges and I were growing botox,

and he goes, and he injects it

It's okay, Henry I don't need to know any more

Yeah

Hello from below the equator and Puerto Ayora

We've been at sea over a month now

You wouldn't believe the crew

Students, activists, scientists

The dinner conversations alone are mind-blowing

There's even this, uh, marine biologist

that reminds me a little bit of you

I wish that we could talk in person,

but, uh, this is the best that I can do

I want to apologize for being out of touch

I have been thinking about us a lot, though

All the moments

I thought we could survive anything

This trip has given me a lot of clarity

That last year in Vegas,

I could barely breathe, let alone think,

but, um, now,

for the first time in a really long time,

I'm happy

Ian's sports car is in the garage

Other spot's empty

I did find some fresh oil stains and rope burns, though

So, I'm thinking the killer

probably pulled his truck into the garage

Would have given him plenty of time to tie up the body

Back door's unlocked

Anybody could have gotten in here

Victim definitely lived with a chick

Napkin holders,

heart-shaped pillows

Women's' magazines

Yeah Where is she?

I don't see a purse around here

Maybe she roped him

to the bottom of her truck and split

I got a name

Justine Stefani

Okay

I'll have Brass put out a broadcast

Puncture wounds didn't penetrate

any of the significant blood vessels

And there's no evidence of injection

or scar tissue, so that rules out drug abuse

Punctures were made by 18-gauge needles

which pierced the areola

They were arranged in a symmetrical pattern around the nipples

Have you ever seen this?

Never

Or this

What appear to be minor burn marks

on the upper and lower surfaces of the tongue

There are no other burn marks in the oral cavity

Histo confirmed the burns were electrical

They grilled his tongue?

That's sick

Torture That would be my opinion at this time

COD?

Manual asphyxia

Bruising around the trachea

Broken hyoid bone

Killer strangled him with his bare hands

So, Ian Wallace was restrained,

his nipples were stimulated,

he had minor burns on his tongue,

and he was asphyxiated

S and M?

Gone very, very wrong

These stab wounds

are brutal, random and postmortem

Which is inconsistent with S&M
