CSI Files
Captain
Synopsis:
A double-decker bus cruises through Times Square. A young African-American woman tells her bored boyfriend she wants to get a picture of them in front of the MTV studios when the bus goes by. She decides to ask a man a few seats behind them, but when she approaches him, she's in for a shock. She lifts his baseball cap to discover a skeleton!
Stella and Mac board the tour bus to examine the remains. Stella cracks a joke: "How long was this tour?" She theorizes that someone probably just wanted to scare some tourists. But Mac points out that the skeleton was not a model. The bones are someone's remains.
Back in the morgue, Hawkes goes over the skeleton and notes that it was reassembled incorrectly. He finds some putty on the skeleton used to join the fingers and hands it to Mac. There's a print on it. Hawkes determines the skeleton is that of a white male under eighteen. A fracture on his skull indicates he was possibly a homicide victim. Stella says he's been dead at least three years, while Mac finds a black sooty substance on his bones.
Danny is certain the bizarre story will make the papers, but Aiden is more interested in getting her hands on the skull. Danny takes a look at the black substance and finds multiple layers, indicating the skeleton had been lying around for a while. Mac analyzes the substance and learns it's aeromatic hydrocarbon: engine exhaust. Danny notes the skeleton was in a high traffic area, while Mac says the victim must have been dead at least a decade, which puts his murder at somewhere between 1990-1993.
Though there are multiple matches on the putty, Mac and Stella zero in on the most likely suspect, Dylan, who makes a habit of hanging around the Port Authority bus terminal. When they find him, he’s chuckling over a newspaper story about the skeleton’s bus ride. Mac, Stella, and Flack corner him, but he insists he was just playing a prank, and had nothing to do with the victim’s death. And then he refuses to answer any more questions.
