CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

She's got a pulse! Airway's clear.

Adrenaline's going in.

Heart's holding steady at 60.

Give me the Ambu bag.

Oxygen to 15 liters.

Keep the pressure on her.

Let's move out, got to go.

Got to hand it to the paramedics.

They keep things interesting.

Yeah, well, life does take priority.

I'll ask Riley to stop by the hospital and get their boots for elimination.

Where do you want me to start?

Wherever you like.

Her name is Janelle Rowe.

Her daughter's name is Nora.

Neighbor heard gunshots, called it in.

Is the kid going to live?

It's touch and go.

Food's still warm.

- What's going on? - Sir, wait.

They must have just got home.

- Sir... - My daughter. Please.

- Oh, my God, Janelle! Janelle! - Sir, sir, sir, you can't come in here, sir.

Get off me!

Hey, hey, take it easy. Take it easy.

You're under arrest for assaulting a police officer.

- Get him up, get him out of here. - No.

No one should have to come home to this.

Yeah,but was it grief or was it guilt?

CSI.S09E07.HDTV.XviD-LOL - Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda -

CSI found a .38 revolver in the glove compartment of your car

with empty shell casings in the cylinder,

which means it was recently discharged,

and your hands tested positive for gunshot residue.

So what if there's a gun in my car?

I have a permit for it.

You had no right to search my car without a warrant.

W-What, what are you talking about?

You were agitated and hostile,you attacked a pice officer.

You fired your gun tonight.

I was target shooting in the desert.

I can show you where.

I appreciate the offer, Mr. Rowe,

but unless someone was out there in the desert with you, it's not an alibi.

Why would I need an alibi?

Bullet entered the neck below the chin...

and exited just below the right occipital bone.

I'm guessing the bullet's around here someplace.

Thanks for the tip.

This chair's been knocked over.

Assuming the paramedics didn't do it,there might have been some kind of a struggle.

Hey, Dave, does the vic have any head wounds?

I don't see any...

but I heard the little girl had a forehead laceration.

She might have slammed her head here unless someone else did it for her.

You think I did this?

I want to see my Nora; I want to see my little girl.

She's in Desert Palm Hospital. Severe head trauma.

She hasn't even regained consciousness yet.

I want, want to see her now.

We're going to see her, okay, when we're done.

Now, help me out. Think about this.

Who would want to do this to your wife and daughter?

I don't know.

So what do you think? It's just a tragic, random act of violence?

Why don't you tell me? That's your job.

Take a couple of high school kids and put 'em in a fast car.

Add a few beers and a driver with a lead foot.

Yeah, baby.

Throw in an unexpected obstacle and a little physics...

Whoa, dude!

and what you get is very abrupt end to a party on wheels.

You just described my whole senior year...

which admittedly ended better than theirs.

From their D.L.'s, driver is Chase Bowman, passenger is Max Poole.

Varsity football at Ridge Valley High.

At least he was wearing his seatbelt.

The safer they make the cars,the more risks the drivers are willing to take.

It's called the Peltzman Effect.

Man. Tree practically ate the car.

Anybody see anything?

Only after the fact.

Somebody must have heard something.

We're in the sticks.

Houses are pretty far apart.

What do you got?

Splinters in the wound.

There's no branches on this side.

If a car hits a tree and there's nobody there to hear it,

it still makes one hell of a sound.

Hey, look what I found.

I let my fingers do the walking.

What does that mean?

Never mind.

Lock's been forced.

This was probably the killer's point of entry and exit.

I'm gonna go search the perimeter.

How many times do I have to say this?

I didn't do this.

Let' let's go over this.

So a neighbor gets up, she hears some arguing, and she looks out her window.

She sees a muzzle flash and hears a gunshot,

and she hears footsteps go out a back gate.

Now,this neighbor says she hears arguing-- she says it's like a fight club over there.

So I checked Dispatch, and there are three calls out for domestic violence in the last three months.

I never laid a hand on Janelle.

You know, one call is, like, a misunderstanding, but three is a pattern.

I loved my wife, but she had--

she was a wannabe actress with a flair for the dramatic.

We fought a lot, but it was only words.

Well, here's an interesting development.

Well, good news.

We have a new suspect. His name is Mark Redding--

the prime suspect in a homicide about 12 years ago,

but he went under the dar for a long time.

But, uh, you must know who he is because according to these fingerprints, he's you.

Changing your name is not a crime. Okay?

No, it's not. But let me tell you what is.

Your first wife Amy hired a private investigator named Trevor Murphy to find out

if you were cheating on her.

Of course, you were. Isn't that right, Mark, Peter?

Which do you prefer?

So, anyway, this private investigator Murphy--

he proved Amy was right, and she was, uh, disappointed,

so he consoled her,you know,in her time of need.

He comforted her in the biblical sense,

and you found out about it, and then Murphy was no more.

His car was found abandoned at a gas station in the desert,

and you were the prime suspect.

I was never even charged.

That's because Trevor Murphy's body was never found.

Maybe that's because he's not dead, which is what I told the cops back then.

I didn't kill anybody. Okay?

Yeah, but... bodies keep piling up around you. Why is that?

You just having a string of bad luck?

Listen, I think I know who might have killed Janelle.

I think I do,too.

I don't have a name,but...

I've been getting death threats-- anonymous e-mails.

Here, I can show you.

"I promise death is coming.

You will not know when, but when it comes" "you will know why.

You will rot like Trevor rots." I will watch."

I've been getting stuff like this for months.

Whoever killed Janelle...

I think they, they were gunning for me.

Driver's C.O.D. is subdural hematoma as a result of injuries sustained in the crash.

Same deal with his buddy, more or less.

Multiple skull fractures consistent with flying face-first thugh a windshield.

C.O.D. here is atlanto - occipital dislocation.

So his skull just separated from his spine?

Yeah.

Well, at least it was quick. Thanks,Doc.

Whoa, whoa, hold your horses.

There's something you should see.

About that shoulder wound you found,

I found a cluster of related injuries on the right arm--

fractured right distal humerus, dislocated shoulder, and torn rotator cuff.

Come here.

The direction of applied force in a break is indicated by the fracture plateau.

That's the flat section of bone at the break.

The arm must have been hanging outside the car something like this.

In this case,it indicates that something bent the arm back,

snapping it on the backside of the elbow,

which in turn caused chain reaction injuries to the rotator cuff and shoulder.

That's an unusual injury for a head-on collision.

Could have injured it before the crash?

I don't think so. Bruising doesn't suggest that and all the wounds are perimortem.

Well, maybe the arm just broke itself.

- That'd be a first. - Thanks.

People vs.Natalie Davis

the transfer hearing

her mental illness

hospital to prison

The EDR records vehicle data for about five seconds prior to the airbag's deployment.

This indicates that the antilock brakes activated four seconds before impact.

Sounds like the car lost traction.

- Was it wet? - Nope.

- Was there oil? - No.

According to the data, looks like the driver veered right and then overcompensated left.

If the car veered onto the shoulder, then one tire is on the asphalt.

The other one's spinning in the gravel, which would activate the ABS, and...

you did find this gravel in the soft top, right?

But you do not appear to be convinced.

The shoulder was undisturbed at the scene.

We're still missing something there, Columbo.

Logged onto Facebook lately, Doc?

I've been a little busy.

That's too bad. I just schooled you in Logolous.

I played "quilt" across. The "T" made "ire" into "tire"

on a double word score. 36 points.

Very impressive.

You want COD on Janelle Rowe?

Bullet to the head?

Exsanguination from transection of the jugular by a . 38 caliber round, if you please.

And I bet there's something you don't know.

This bruise was inflicted perimortem.

Looks like a gun sight.

Maybe she was pistol-whipped.

Certainly a possibility.
