CSI: Crime Scene Investigation--'Big Middle'

CSI Files

Captain
Synopsis:

A Hyde beetle finds its way to a body in the woods, where it's found by Grissom. Grissom determines the body, which is sporting a hole in its chest and a blasted-off face, has been in the woods for at least two weeks. Catherine is irritated to see Grissom at her crime scene, but he says he's just there to document. Grissom notices a football league ring on the corpse's finger. Catherine notes the man was shot at close range. After Grissom leaves, Nick and Catherine try to find where the chase began and Nick complains about his unhappiness over the team split. The CSIs find a significant amount of cash in a beaver dam.

Grissom and Greg stand over the body of Maurice Hudson, who lies dead in the bed in his hotel room. He hadn't been robbed, and appears to have suffocated: his chest is covered in petechia. The CSIs find a name tag near his body, apparently from a convention at the Tangiers. Grissom pulls a purple fiber from Maurice's mouth while Greg notices a table in the room is cracked. They notice ejaculate on the table and the sheets, so they turn over the sheets to Sara for processing. She finds sweat on them in addition to the ejaculate. Greg goes over the surveillance tapes from the hotel, but Maurice always seems to go to his room alone. In the morgue, Robbins shows Grissom Bulber hemorrhages in Maurice's eyes. He notes that Maurice died of asphyxia, but also determines that due to the way the blood has settled that something heavy was resting on the body for 8-10 hours after the death.

Warrick has an ID on the owner of the ring: Gabe Miller, a former football player. Robbins tells Nick that the shot to the heart killed the victim, and he was shot in the head afterwards. Based on the striations on the bullet, Nick thinks the killer used a sawed-off shotgun. But when he mentions the possible ID on the victim, Gabe Miller, Robbins tells him Miller is very much alive and is now a councilman. Brass questions Miller, who sold his ring during his football years for drugs. He's now left that life behind and has no desire to even reclaim the ring.
