CSI Files
Captain
Synopsis:
At a resort pool, a security guard chases a man who has snatched a young woman's purse. The man almost escapes, but he slips in a puddle of slime. The guard apprehends him and lifts the flap of a tent near where the slime is only to discover a horrifying sight: the slimy body of a young woman. When the CSIs arrive, Frank Tripp gets an ID on the woman: Tanya Fhuman, in town from Chicago to celebrate her birthday. Alexx sends the slime covering the girl's body to trace and notes the puncture wounds covering Tanya's body. After the body is removed, Delko and Ryan start to go over the lounge chair she was found on, but they're interrupted by a young woman who says her purse was stolen and asks for it to be returned. Ryan retrieves the purse of the woman, Karla Gardner, and checks the ID inside. But when he runs it against the police database, he finds a fraud alert on her credit. She claims to be the victim of identity theft and shows him a Federal Trade Commission document. Ryan returns the bag to her.
In the morgue, Horatio tells Alexx that the trace report on the liquid on Tanya's body came back as gastric acid. Alexx points out that the puncture wounds on the woman are teeth marks and that the gastric acid is from a snake. Horatio guesses it was a python or a boa constrictor and could have weighed up to two hundred pounds. Based on the petechiae in the girl's eyes and her broken ribs, Alexx posits that the girl was squeezed to death and consumed. Horatio calls Delko and shares Alexx's findings with him. Delko assumes the girl was targeted by the snake because of her sunburn. He and Tripp track the snake to a beach bed by the pool. Delko finds the snake under the bed and extracts it, but it's already dead. Noticing a broken branch and an open window in one of the hotel rooms above, Delko and Tripp think the snake may have been brought to the hotel by a guest. Up in the room, Horatio and Tripp learn it was rented by an off shore holding company--Low Dawg Productions. Delko locates the bag the snake was transported in and finds a tooth, neither human nor snake, in the bag.
A woman approaches Ryan at the CSI labs and tells him she's looking for her purse--a guy snatched it from her that morning. Ryan puts it together--she is claiming to be Karla Gardner. She tells him that her identity was stolen and shows him several FTC documents. She's irritated that Ryan gave the girl the purse. She tells him that this started a year and a half ago when the girl stole a discarded loan application out of her trash. Ryan calls on Calleigh for help, but the CSIs have know way of knowing which Karla is real, and which one isn't.
