CSI Files
Captain
Synopsis:
Top swimsuit designer Gavin Ruvelle's fashion show takes a disturbing turn when model Serena Portinova falls dead on the runway during the height of the show. Mac and Danny arrive at the scene only to find it crawling with potential suspects. Danny discovers the possible murder weapon--a bloody can of the green paint used to enhance the model's body, but both the body painter and Gavin Ruvelle, who admits to arguing with Serena before the show when he found her woozy possibly from drinking too much, deny any involvement. In the morgue, Dr. Hammerback determines that the blow to the back of her head wasn't what killed her--her heart went into ventricular defibrillation and gave out. But as she was otherwise healthy, the CSIs find this a puzzling cause of death.
A young man named Paul Richmont comes into the station looking for Detective Flack. When he finds him, Paul deposits a gun on Flack's desk and claims to have shot his doctor, Rachel Jeffries, behind her office building. Stella and Lindsay go to the scene and find the woman shot dead just as Paul said. Lindsay notices her purse is filled with expensive jewelry, and also discovers an open Chinese food container and is surprised to discover a leech inside. The CSIs open Dr. Jeffries' shirt and find her chest covered in leeches. Lindsay collects the leeches to take back to the lab. Back at the lab, Danny gets a print off the paint can but no match in AFIS, and he's also surprised to discover the blood on the can is from an unknown female, not Serena. The mystery deepens when another dead model is discovered. Jennifer Fazotti lies in the back of the cargo truck, and Dr. Hawkes notices she suffered a blow to the back of the head as well, one which fractured vertebrae. Mac notices the same green paint that Serena was wearing around the wound on Jennifer's neck.
Stella and Flack interrogate Paul, who is insistent that he killed Dr. Jeffries. He claims Jeffries promised to cure the rare blood disease he had, but that she took all of his money and tried outlandish remedies with no success. When Stella asks about the leeches, he pauses before claiming he'd added them for effect. Stella is suspicious and her skepticism is justified when Paul claims to have been looking in Jeffries' eyes when he killed her. Impossible, Stella says, as the woman was shot in the back. Hammerback extracts the bullets and is surprised to discover they're magnetized. The gun is as well, suggesting that the shooter was exposed to a magnetic source shortly before the shooting. Lindsay shows Stella that the leeches were being kept in the Chinese food container, and because one is filled with blood from a male donor, she believes Paul brought them. Stella remains unconvinced.
