CSI Files
Captain
Is it possible to kill someone while sleepwalking? The CSIs have to find out in the upcoming CSI: New York episode, "Night, Mother."
CSI Files sources recently revealed details about the sixth episode of New York's freshman season. The sleepwalker, Ophelia DiChara was covered in blood when she literally ran into Mac Taylor at the crime scene. The slain woman, Rachel Connolly, was her neighbor. A couple of guys playing basketball across the street spotted her near the building. The CSI team has enough evidence to arrest her.
Ophelia's story is a sad one. She lost her young son in a tragic accident. When Mac questions her, she has no memory of being outside the building or seeing Rachel. Mac takes swabs from inside her mouth, while Stella swabs underneath her fingernails.
Mac and Stella are deeply disturbed to discover the substance underneath her fingernails is human heart cells. The evidence against Ophelia is mounting--Rachel was stabbed with a stake of wood.
Mac studies the video tapes from the surveillance camera at the apartment building and discovers that Rachel had a disagreement with her husband, Todd, not long before she was killed. Mac decides to pay him a visit. Mac finds Todd at work, and asks him if he knew Ophelia at all. Todd barely recalls her. Todd tells Mac about their disagreement, and Mac tells him that his alibi isn't airtight. The grief-stricken husband tells Mac to arrest him, but Mac doesn't believe Todd had anything to with his wife's murder. What Mac sees is a man barely hanging on, trying to do anything he can to cope with his wife's death. Mac can relate.
But Mac isn't convinced that Ophelia is the killer either, even though all the evidence points to her. Stella can't understand why Mac is so set on looking elsewhere when the evidence seems so solid. But Mac decides to have a sleep test performed on Ophelia, hoping to learn more about her sleepwalking tendancies...
Please note that these plot details have not yet been confirmed by CBS, Alliance Atlantis or Bruckheimer Films and until such time you should treat this information as you would any other rumour. The information comes from an early draft of the script and aspects of the episode may change before it goes to air.
"Night, Mother" will likely air in October or November 2004.<center></center>
