Iconic Evidence

Hey everyone, we posed this question on Twitter, but would like to have a less fleeting forum so we can get more responses.

We're interested in hearing what EVIDENCE from early cases you think is truly iconic. What PHYSICAL EVIDENCE has stuck in your head the most from the last 13 years?

Example: the buffalo pendant from Blood Drops, or the Miniature models from season 7...

We have a decent list of what WE think is iconic, but we'd like to know what the fans' favorites are. List as many as you can think of!

Signatures from the serial killers: the miniatures, Paul Milanders' tapes, the blue paint from the Blue Paint Serial Killer all come to mind.

The eyeball from Got Murder

The plastic bag from Stalker

Plexi-glass coffin in Grave Danger and even the red ants

ETA: The finger from the same titled episode

Cassie's "gum drops" from the episode of the same name. One of the best episodes from start to finish.

Grave Danger-Plexi Glass

Gum Drops-Cassie's Gum
Great episodes by the way.

Some of the best episodes are usually featuring a much ignored character and actor.

From the Paul Milander case, the androgynous hairs; from "Slaves of Las Vegas" the liquid Latex; the potato being used as a silencer in "And then there were none"; the Miniatures, and the lack of evidence being evidence with Squeegel.

Hairs in the showgirl headdress and cholesterol in the piranhas from "Table Stakes".

Ellie's spit on Brass' badge in "Ellie"

The bullet in "One-Hit Wonder" (lodged in a spine)

The blood spray on the wall that wasn't evidence at all in "Scuba Doobie-Doo"

The chainsaw in "Toe Tags"

The bugs in "Sex, Lies and Larvae" (which was possibly the first time we really got to see Grissom and his bugs)

The thread from the oven mitt in "Gentle, Gentle"

The gum drops that Cassie dropped in 'Gum Drops'

The signature on the co-ed's penis in 'Pledging Mr. Johnson' :lol:

The fire ants in 'Grave Danger'

All the evidence in 'Ending Happy' :lol:

Hammer in the tree in 'If I had a Hammer'

The blood spatter that belonged to a live person in 'Scuba Doobie Doo' and well, the Scuba diver in the tree too

Sam in 'Play Dead' He was evidence until it was proven he wasn't.

I'll have to think of more.

Glad I saw this on twitter, don't know that I would have ever seen it otherwise! Pretty much don't do forums anymore.. Hmm.

...wait..I think I've just been listing GSR-related evidence. Oh well, I guess that says a lot about why I watch the show

CriticsCubby - I was just thinking to myself, they're all GSR related - then I read the bottom of your post! Much appreciated it! :thumbsup:

So, iconic evidence, this takes a bit of thought... and this will probably reflect the episodes/cases I most enjoyed as well:

- The tooth in Table Stakes
- Ketchup Semen in Strip Strangler
