CSI: Crime Scene Investigation--'Unbearable'

CSI Files

Captain
Synopsis:

The night shift CSI team is summoned to the abandoned car of Lori Kyman, a young woman whose husband has reported her missing. Grissom and Sofia look over the car and note that while it has a flat tire, there's no sign of a struggle. Grissom looks at Lori's cell phone and sees that the only call Lori made that night was to her husband, Mark, at 9:30. Sara and Brass question Mark and Lori's best friend, Amy, at the Kymans' house. Mark was working while Lori's mother, Diane, was taking care of the couple's baby. He fell asleep and awoke on the couch at 2am and called the police when he realized Lori wasn't home. Amy was with Lori on the girl's night out, but she says they all parted company around 11. She tells Sara that there was a man named Brad who kept hitting on Lori despite the fact that she rebuffed his advances.

Nick and Brass arrive at the site of a murder in the woods: a male victim with no ID lies dead with a severed carotid artery--apparently the man was killed by a wild animal. The animal itself--a giant Kodiak bear--lies dead not far from the hunter's body. Nick notices broken branches leading away from the bear's body and catches sight of a swath of torn fabric. Dr. Robbins performs a necropsy on the bear and determines that it was shot twice. The fatal bullet entered through the bear's ear and lodged in its brain. The non-fatal bullet came from a rifle, but the fatal one was from a handgun. Robbins also notes that the bear's gall bladder was removed post mortem.

Greg shows Sofia that Lori's car was sabotaged--someone unscrewed the cap on one of her tires so that it would leak air and eventually go flat. A palm print on the car matches Lori's would-be suitor Brad, so Brass has him brought in for questioning. Brad admits to unscrewing the cap in the hopes that he could rescue Lori when her tire went flat. But Brass receives a call that makes it clear no one rescued Lori: her body has been found. At the scene, David Phillips estimates she's been dead between 36 and 48 hours, while Sofia notes that marks on her neck suggest she was strangled. When they get Lori back to the lab, Sofia pulls flecks from a birch tree from her hair. Grissom finds red and blue fibers on her dress, while Sofia discovers white powder on her palms.
