CSI: Crime Scene Investigation--'4x4'

CSI Files

Captain
Synopsis:

A man buys a taco from a taco stand and drives off in a Fiero but is literally mowed down by a Hummer that drives over his car. The driver of the Fiero survives, but the driver of the Hummer fled the scene. The Hummer is traced back to Kyle and Wilma Shaw, who won the car at a raffle shortly before it was stolen. Grissom finds a bloody headband at the location of the car's hijacking and soon has a suspect: a young man named Vernon Miller, who tried to rob a convenience store. Grissom notices Vernon's jeans are bloody and takes a sample and learns it matches the blood on the headband. Hodges tells Grissom a substance found on the airbag of the car contains food ingredients.

Remembering the taco stand at the scene, Grissom questions the owner of the stand, Frank Mejia, and learns he scuffled with two young men who tried to rob him--he cut one with a knife and threw lard in the other one's face. Grissom discovers Lawrence Lafontaine at the hospital being treated for burns. He and Vernon stole the Hummer and planned to run over Frank's taco stand but collided with the Fiero instead. Grissom deems it the dumbest thing he's ever heard.

The clock rewinds to a few hours before Grissom's case unfolds. A woman's body is discovered on the stage at the International Vehicle Convention. The woman, Lisa Schumacher, was a convention girl, and David Phillips determines that she died around 4am. He also points out petechiae in her eyes and lacerations on her neck. Warrick goes through the motorcoach room where Lisa was partying the night before and discovers a used condom in the bathroom. At the morgue, Dr. Robbins informs Catherine that Lisa was strangled, and that he discovered "mobile" sperm--sperm only a few inches in the vaginal cavity. As Kyle and Wilma Shaw win their Hummer, Warrick and Detective Vartann confront Donny Drummer, Lisa's employer, but he seems unconcerned about her death. At 29, she was practically over the hill. Another convention girl, Gwen Underwood, approaches him, clearly distressed, but he brushes her off.
