CSI Files
Captain
Synopsis:
Young mother Karen Matthews experiences every mother's worst nightmares when her son Jesse disappears from Mesa Valley Park while playing on the playground. Brass talks to a distraught Karen, who can't think of anyone who might want to take her son. Her husband, Dwight, a solider, was killed in Afghanistan four years ago and both of her parents are dead. The CSI team is called in to scour the scene. Brass shows a woman whose child was at the park a picture of Jesse and she recalls seeing him and remembers a man in a blue baseball cap watching him, and Karen recalls seeing the man as well. Nick is caught off balance when he spots Kelly Gordon, the daughter of the man who kidnapped him and buried him alive, at the scene, watching him. Karen gives the dogs a jacket of Jesse's, but it leads them nowhere, and she tells them that the jacket is new and he hadn't worn it long. Inside the park bathroom, Warrick discovers a bloody piece of metal and a pair of boy's underwear, which Karen, devastated, identifies as Jesse's.
Catherine and Greg head to Karen's house and the heartbroken mother shows Catherine pictures of Jesse. Finger-paintings cover the wall, and Karen tells Catherine that Jesse is home schooled. Catherine looks around the house and is surprised to discover unopened presents from Karen's husband's parents in the garage. Catherine asks Karen about the presents, and she admits that Dwight's parents thought they should be raising Jesse, making Catherine suspect they might have taken the boy. Greg talks to Ken McCracken, Karen's next-door neighbor, who says his dog barks at Jesse through the fence separating their yards. Ken thinks Karen killed his previous dog because it used to sniff around their yard and bark at the boy. Back at the station, Brass questions Warren and Faye Matthews, Jesse's grandparents. They tell him that Jesse came from a long line of military men, but that Karen cut them off from seeing the boy completely after Dwight died. While his wife uses the bathroom, Warren admits to Brass that he is suffering from Alzheimer's and went to see his grandson the week before, but that Karen refused to let him in.
The blood from the bathroom doesn't match the DNA in Jesse's toothbrush, but the CSIs are able to trace it to a convicted necrophiliac, Connor Daley. He claims to have been in the park that day and had a nosebleed in the bathroom. He broke the toilet paper holder when he grabbed at it, cutting himself further. He recalls seeing a man in the a 51's baseball cap in the bathroom with the boy. An APB goes out, and a couple, Victor and Valerie Esposito, are apprehended in a mini-mart with Jesse. But when he's brought to the station and returned to Karen, he calls out to Valerie, not Karen. Valerie calls him Adam as she's led away. Puzzled, Warrick leads Jesse away for some tests. Victor and Valerie have pictures of the boy they claim as their son, and he is identical to Karen's pictures of Jesse. The CSIs get DNA and fingerprint samples from the couple, Karen and the boy. Valerie recounts the birth of her son to Catherine, and Victor tells Catherine that he was in the park with Adam that day, meeting a guy about a bet.
