Re: CSI:Miami 'I Have a Question' Thread #2. NO SPOILERS PLE
yes he was, he had a wife in NY. and he is a native to Miami it's all right here in his biography....it doesn't say anything about his wife. but acording to some sources it says he had one....
Raised in 1960s Miami, by age 16 Caine had
experienced a lifetime: Civil Right marches,
Cuban freedom flights, violent race riots, and the rise of drug culture.
His mother, a single parent in a time that did not favor such a definition of family, taught Caine that strength resided in your mind, not your hand. Though she was demanding, her love protected him until she was killed by a drug dealer that she stood up to. At 17, while other teenagers were learning to disco, Caine set out to help the police find her killer. By the time the murderer was sentenced to life, Caine knew he had found his calling to protect his city.
Caine entered the Police Academy after high school, but quickly discovered that the beat left him bored. When he realized that the evidence-cracking CSIs were the people who actually solved the crimes, he enrolled in university and, four years later, Chemistry degree in hand, he was a Level I Criminalist with the Miami-Dade Police Department.
Rising quickly through the ranks, Caine grew frustrated with departmental bureaucracy and threatened to quit. Al Humphries came to his rescue by offering to train him as his second-in-command with the Bomb Squad. Humphries became the father-figure Cained had never had.
When Megan Donner stepped down as head of the Crime Lab, the Police Chied asked Caine to take over. Although he ahd thrived as a member of the Bomb Squad, Caine missed what had drawn him to police work in the first place the science of catching the bad guy. He accepted the position.
A three-dimensional thinker, Caine can rapidly understand how pieces fit into a puzzle. He knows that science ultimately provides the solution, but he also knows that there is more to crime-solving that blood spatter and DNA. When it comes to protecting his city, Horatio doesn't just trust science he trusts his gut.
