Get out of the way!
Wow, that had to hurt.
Well, robbery wasn't a motive.
His eyes took the brunt of the punishment.
If he can't see, he can't fight back.
But he may have tried.
Tony Sciarra,
from Philladelphia.
So much for brotherly love.
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation 4x18 Bad To The Bone
Our victim Tony just checked into the hotel.
Hadn't even unpacked.
He made enemies fast.
Yeah, the old man at the casino who he knocked down said the same thing.
He was howling ass
Why?
Blood drops are medium to large.
Low velocity of spatter, no castoff.
May be he wasn't beaten with a weapon.
Hand to hand?
I know this guy is yoked, he's what?
6'2, 6'3?
Size doesn't matter when you're outnumbered.
Damn!
There's our vic, leaving the floor.
And the cameras, no eyes on the corridors or the rest rooms.
Yeah, well, we know where he went, just show us where he came from.
That's good. Start it from right there.
Did you see that?
Yeah, the little guy on the right just sneaked him.
You gotta be kiddin me, he just did it again.
Two for two.
That guy has got stones going after a mark as big as Tony.
He knows he has backup.
Is the third time a charm?
Yes, it is.
Busted.
Accusations from Tony.
He's gettin hot!
Some kind of denial from the little guy.
Tony got worked, he wanted his money back.
We're gonna need a still of the little guy's face if you could.
You got it.
Fractures to the zygomatic, ethmoid, and nasal bones.
Also, the mandible and the maxilla.
How many teeth did you find at the scene?
Two.
He's missing six.
I found one in the back of his mouth, probably swallowed the other three.
I'll check his stomach.
Blood evidence at the scene,
suggested his attackers did not use a weapon
Contusions are non-descript, no foreign tool marks,
Bare knuckles?
That's what I'm thinking.
Multiple blows to the head produced angular acceleration and deceleration to the brain.
Twisting to the brain causes the bridging veins to rip
from their the axons within the white matter of the brain begin to snap.
Officially COD is diffuse axonal injury,
unofficially,
so much brutal beating I've ever seen.
Neck bruises were made by a left hand?
What about these bruises?
There's no defensive wounds on the hands or forearm,
so I'm guessing he was restrained.
Bruises could be somebody's knees on his chest.
So a hand on his throat, knees on his chest,
his head was butted up against a wall,
and all the blows were directed at his face
Doesn't leave much room for any other attackers to get their legs in.
May be there were no other attackers.
One guy did all this?
So you're sure this was the man you saw?
Yes, I was in the bathroom.
I waited for him to leave,
- Then I called security. - Do you see this man now?
All you have to do is nod.
Thanks.
ID's off! We're looking for a blue shirt and jeans.
He could have ditched the clothes so let's be smart about this.
Las Vegas Police!
Put your hands behind your head and stand up.
Come on!
You're not much of a talker, are you Walter?
I tell ya,
you must be a pretty tough guy to take on Tony.
The guy's big as that, he's huge.
That's his name you know, Tony Sciarra from Philladelphia.
Did you know Tony?
How come you left his wallet, and $500 of chips in his pocket, huh?
Cuz, that makes me think this was about something else.
Did he wrong you in some way?
(Did) he hurt you?
May be it was just,
a lovers quarrel.
I'm not soft.
Yeah, it's ok. This is Vegas.
But that's not what we saw on the video.
You're at the Craps table,
you swiped his chips,
and then you whispered sweet nothings in his ear.
What did you say?
Give me a reason.
Tthat a confession? / No,
it's what I said.
That stare doesn't work on me.
Better save it, 'cause they're gonna love you in prison.
You can't fight.
Mr. Darian, may I see your fingers?
Why?
Well, because you may have evidence underneath the fingernails,
and I would like to collect it.
Mr. Darian, do you have a fever?
I'll kill you.
Get him down. Get him down.
You might wanna double check that.
I did.
It's not as bad as it looks.
Never looks good when a suspect dies in custody.
What are you saying, Rory?
- You'd rather be one of us? - No, that's not what I am saying.
If I was here I would have been in there with you, you know that.
It's just that we're gonna come out looking like the bad guy again.
You Okay?
I'm fine.
Nasty, kind of looks like a hickey.
You wanna tell me who got this party started?
I scraped his nails.
- That's it? - What was his liver temp?
- 101.5 - He's been dead an hour.
That means that his body temperature was 103.
I felt his skin Catherine. It felt like it was on fire.
How did Walter Darian even drive this thing?
Where there's a will, there's a way.
PD found it in the Orpheus parking lot.
Blue shirt and jeans, right on top.
He didn't even try to hide them.
Positive for blood. I'll get it to Greg.
So this scumbag, Walter Darian,
he beats a guy to death, goes out to his car, changes his clothes.
goes back into the Casino, washes his hands, and just ..
gets something to eat?
Just another day.
Yahtzee.
Must be a few thousand dollars worth of chips here.
So, he drifts, but doesn't cash in?
May be it wasn't about the money.
I got gloves, a T-shirt and a jacket all with the tags still on'em.
May be he just likes to steal things.
Road side diner, Libby.
Sara.
What does that look like to you?
Burn holes.
The guy takes on five cops in their house.
Makes you wonder what he might have done to the waitress.
Didn't get enough of this guy in the interrogation room?
I have a question.
Yes?
- Cause of death? - Well, it wasn't the nice stick action
Cardiac arrhythmia.
His heart rate increased til he went into Tachycardia.
Started throwing PVCs then V-fib.
Prior conditions? / Nothing I could find The guy had a big heart, 550 grams,
but otherwise healthy.
This guy was pumped up before the fight,
white knuckles veins popping.
Well, he could've been on something. Tox is pending.
But there were no observable effects of long term drug abuse.
No atrophies, cirrhosis, tissue necrosis.
I checked all the hot spots.
He had a temperature of 103 when he died.
Any pathology to explain that?
The organs showed no sign of infection or disease.
So there was nothing wrong with this guy.
Well, I'll send a tissue sample to histology but
98.6 is just an average Some people run hot.
See, during questioning your brother became a little unruly, and
so for their own safety, the officers had no choice but to use force,
- at which point... - No, I've heard enough.
Ms. Darian, it's very important that you understand the situation here.
I do.
Walter was killed in police custody.
Let me introduce Gil Grissom from the crime lab.
This is Beth Darian. / Hello.
I was in the room with your brother.
Is that how he touched you life?
The autopsy concluded that your brother's death,
was not the result of the officer's use of force.
I don't care how he died.
I'm just relieved that it's over.
Walter hurt a lot of people.
If you had something he wanted, he just took it,
and if you got in his way...
I always kept my distance.
Ms. Darian, your brother's body temperature was ...
Hot to the touch?
He was always that way ever since we were kids.
I'll have somebody from the department contact you, all right, Ms. Darian?
I always knew that Walter would end up in Jail or dead.
I'm sorry.
Griss, what are we hoping to find here?
Walter Darian lived here. He owned the place.
Greg ran the DNA, blood on Walter's clothes is a match to Tony.
The hair in Tony's hand is a match to Walter's, the case is closed, isn't it?
That case is closed.
You can't prosecute a dead man.
The evil man dew lives after them, but good is often turned with their bones.
Sheakespeare?
Julius Caesar.
This guy never threw anything away.
You think he had a major case of OCD?
Well,
if Walter viewed his world as a threatening place,
according to the shrinks, the hording of useless objects
may have made him feel safe and secure.
Yeah, well, in the real world Walters is the threat.
Guess he didn't like what he saw.
Hey, Grissom,
this doesn't look like a Patio.
Libby, Libby.
Oh, yeah, dish girl.
- Did she have a last name? - Sure she does, but I don't know it.
When was the last time you saw her? / 8 years ago.
The kid had no chops,
Burned herself real good.
That was her first and last day.
We need an ID. Is there any chance you still have a W2 lying around,
or a copy of a driver's license.
Girl wasn't here long enough to refill a coffee pot, let alone sign anything.
I don't know where she came from, don't know where she went.
What about this guy,
did you ever see him with Libby?
Uh, I'm gettin nothing. Sorry, orders up!
What thing makes this sound?
Well,
I guess there was no more room at the inn.
It's a wedding band.
You think this is the waitress Nick and Sara are looking for?
Well, there's no clothing left, the wedding band can be either or,
There's nothing gender-specific yet.
Next to no tissue.
No hairs at all.
If you get the bones, what do you think, Grissom?
Been down here at least three years?
It's probably more that three years.
You're kidding me, right?
Well, the rule of thumb is if the skull smells bad it's usually under three years.
This one smells like dirt.
There's something under the pelvic bone.
Possible murder weapon.
Do you think we could still get any DNA off of it?
Any blood's been exposed to the elements longer than the inside of these bones.
There's a little skin, clothing, and tissue to protect it, huh?
Doesn't fit. Walter was a fighter. He used his fists not knives, you know.
Well, we haven't known him that long.
Forheads upright, smoothe,
mandible's small, lower face narrow.
- Female trace. - Yeah, pelvis confirms it.
It's wide for the birth canal.
No, pits in the pubic bone. She never gave birth.
What about her race?
Zygomatic bones retreat, slant back,
nasal opening is long and narrow.
Caucasian.
Around 5'4.
I estimated her height from the length of the femur.
How old are we talking?
Well, third molars haven't erupted.
No wisdom teeth.
So that would put her in her late teens, early twenties.
Yeah, it's a safe estimate.
Cause of death?
Strangulation. Fracture to the hyoid bone.
What about these right here?
Fractures to the zygomatic bone and maxilla, also to the left ulna,
but no tool marks on any of the bones.
So may be, she was punched in the face and tried to shield herself?
Yeah, Walter Darian strangled a female caucasian 5 foot 4,
- around twenty years old. - Yeah, but is it our missing waitress?
Well, I did dental charts, X-rays. David's off and running with them now.
I also excised a portion of the femur,
scraped a tissue sample from inside the pelvis and yanked a molar.
If there's any usable DNA left that's where it'll be.
How did you know there was another body at that motel?
I didn't.
Tox and histology results came back on Walter Darian,
negative across the board. No drugs, no diseases.
I don't get it.
The guys 38 years old, and this was his first arrest.
And you're wondering what he'd been doing all his life.
Willows.
Why don't you hold that thought until later?
Sorry.
A new friend.
Congratulations.
Got time for something a little weird?
I recovered DNA from your Jane Doe skeleton,
clean samples from the molar and femur.
But no hits in CODIS.
So Jane Doe was never reported missing. /Apparently not.
I also pulled DNA from the pelvic sample.
A mixture, foreign DNA from a male.
Walter Darian.
No, that's where it gets weird.
The foreign DNA was homozygous at all thirteen low signs.
One peak per marker.
Shared allels, so it was either a father or a son.
According to the autopsy she never gave birth.
- So it was her father. - Ok, so how did it get there?
The tissue was from inside the pelvis,
so even if Daddy's blood or semen got on her clothes or skin,
it never would have survived being in the ground all that time.
So there has to be additional biological source,
cuz there was no one else in that grave.
That's all I got.
No name, no tissue, no hair.
I like a challenge.
Pull the standard tissue thickness scale for female american. caucazoolids(?)
Use the normal figures.
Apply the mid line measurements.
Good, now the bilateral.
That's the blue print.
Ok, you can take this.
Long skull,
prominent nose and chin.
May be Nordic descent.
That means light complexion, hair,
and ...
blue green eyes.
Warrick.
These've gotta be maternity clothes.
And baby makes three.
Her name's not Libby.
Dental records confirmed our Jane Doe was Marissa Cleary.
Which leaves our missing waitress Libby still unaccounted for.
Foreign DNA in her pelvis wasn't from her father,
it was from her son.
There was no evidence of a fetus or a baby in that grave.
She never gave birth.
Not through her birth canal.
There's other ways to deliver a baby.
Oh, that might explain the hunting knife we found.
Umbilical cord contains fetal DNA.
Walter Darian never threw anything out.
So where did the baby go?
8 years. I never thought she was dead.
I've always wondered where she was, or what she was doing with her life,
or what my kid was like.
Mr. Cleary, we haven't found any evidence to suggest that your son...
Our son?
Well, Was it a boy?
Yes. / Well, can I see him?
Is he dead, too?
We don't know.
Marissa and I had only been seeing each other for a few monthes.
Everything was great.
And then she got pregnant so we got married.
All of a sudden she hates me, I hate her.
All we did was fight.
She calls me one night at work.
You don't want me in your life, fine, I'm gone.
Good, that's the best news I heard all year.
That was last time we spoke.
And you never reported her missing?
I didn't think she was.
She was 19, barely out of high school.
Last thing you needed was a family.
She was in her 9th month when she split.
I thought she'd cool off in a couple of days come back and we would ...
work things out.
But then I got this.
You're not who I thought you were.
You don't want me.
You don't want this baby.
We don't want you.
Marissa.
Alright, you see the long legs she gives to her M?
And how it stands alone?
Alright, now check out the Dear John letter.
This is not Marissa's signature, just a quick and dirty forgery.
My money's on Walter.
No, can't tell you anything without an exempler.
Yeah, well, Warrick's going through his stuff now.
From what I hear this is gonna take a while.
So what about this text?
Uh, not typed, printed.
Uh, off an ink jet, and so far all of Walter's acculmulated printers are dot matrix.
No match.
Warrick found a baseball cap in Walter's motel yielded a blond hair.
DNA was still good which means the hair is no more than a few years old.
It was Marissa's son's.
So he'd be 8 now assuming he is still alive.
Hey, guys. I've been working on that John Doe envelope,
the post mark was Henderson.
The Bates motel is in Sloan,
why would Walter go that far out of his way to mail a letter.
He wouldn't.
Well, I moved to Henderson to get away from Walter.
I stayed out of his life, hoping he'd stay out of mine.
Didn't matter that I was his sister. He treated me like he did everybody else.
Do you recognize this woman?
No. Who's she?
Her name is Marissa Cleary.
We believe she was a guest in your brother's motel 8 years ago.
He killed her, didn't he?
We think so.
- I wonder what she did to set him off. - I don't know.
Sure it wasn't much.
You don't want me,
fine, I'm gone. / Good.
It's the best news I've heard all year.
Shut up, shut up.
He could always find an excuse for anything that he did.
Are we keeping you from something? / No.
It makes me really uncomfortable talking about Walter.
Did Walter give you those burns?
No, that was ...
an accident on that job many, many years ago.
When you used to be a waitress, Libby?
Nobody's called me that in years.
How did you know? / We found your old waitress uniform in Walter's car.
I had the job for one day.
I was a lousy waitress, why would he keep that?
Hi, mom. / Hey, baby.
Why don't you take your stuff, put it in your room.
I'll make you a snack.
- How old is that little guy? - He's gonna be nine next month.
Open up.
You're not his mother.
I'm the only mother he's ever known.
I raised him, I had to.
Middle of the night, your brother shows up and he hands you a baby,
You don't ask any questions you don't report it.
Walter said that the mother was a runaway.
And that she didn't want the baby.
I took him in.
I love him.
How did Martin get the scar on his forehead?
I don't know.
Or you didn't want to know.
Marissa Cleary didn't sign that note.
And we don't think Walter wrote it, either.
I'm not like Walter.
When I opened the suitcase and I saw the photograph.
I didn't want the father to suffer.
The suit case was in Walter's closet.
I took it back.
I didn't want it around me. I knew that he would never notice.
Giving me Martin ...
was the only good thing Walter ever did.
I don't know why he did it.
But it wasn't out of the goodness of his heart.
