- "CSI" - "418/427" - Dec. 9, 2010-
A woman is shot dead in a grocery store parking lot in front of her young daughter. Also shot, a Hispanic store employee. A creepy dude in a bad sports coat who had been harassing the woman in the store was in the parking lot when it happened as were two Hispanic dudes in a car. The CSIs think the shooting may be gang-related. But the woman was shot three times and the employee only once. And then they realize the little girl has been kidnapped, probably unknowingly by the person who shot her and jacked her. They issue an amber alert.
The grocery clerk tells Nick the woman was upset and nervous. Nick gets the check the woman paid with, her name is Christine Morris. Turns out her husband is an FBI agent.
David works on the employee in the lab while Robbins handles Christine. Her husband shows up in the lab and busts a gasket, throwing his hand through a glass window. Brass enters and tells him to keep it together. The husband throws suspicion on one Rylan Gauss and says he's the one who kidnapped his daughter. He's a serial pedophile whose case Moore was working on, he shot a woman in the eye just like his wife. Gauss was in prison but his case was overturned. He threatened Moore and his family. It turns out his son from his first marriage Trent is also missing and his home shows signs of a struggle. Moore is all pushy at the scene and then takes off.
A search of Gauss's house turns up a stash of kids books.
Hodges and Eric go over the files and talk about Moore being a big pedophile hunter. Gauss was a typical, evil pedophile. They figure out that he doesn't keep his victims for long and "hunts" in local parks.Nick and Catherine go to check out a local park and find him on a bench. As does Moore. Catherine and Nick keep him from shooting Gauss.
Brass interrogates him. He claims he doesn't have Moore's daughter or son or killed his wife. He screams at Moore that he's the psycho, not him. Gauss's alibi is a bar. Brass tells him they found the books and are printing them now.
The gang finds Christine's mini-van abandoned across town. Out of gas. They find a food wrapper from the market and Hodges tests it and gets lots of prints. None are Gauss's.
No connection is found between the books and Gauss' victims. Gauss taunts Moore on the way out of the station, his alibi checked out. Moore is livid at Brass.
Robbins comes in and informs Catherine that her sister and Moore were divorcing and Christine thought he was an unfit father. They decide to check out Moore's alibi, especially since he doesn't seem busted up about his wife's death.
Brass and a cop go to a home where Moore is standing over Gauss' dead body. Moore claims he was already dead when he got there.
They discover that Trent was taking meds for schizophrenia and might've been off his meds. It was his prints on the sandwich wrapper. He was in the van.
Back at Gauss's house they find Trent's baseball cap.
Now being interrogated Moore says his son is fine and that he didn't need his meds. He seems kind of nutty himself. Brass points this out. Moore isn't having it. Until he hears that Gauss and Christine were killed by a .22. Then he gets freakier and more worried that, as Brass suspects, his son killed Gauss and Christine. He does tell Brass that Trent might've taken Holly to their old house, where his mom died.
The house is gone but there's a shed. Sara and some cops investigate. They find a disheveled and sobbing Trent with a gun in his mouth, babbling about Rylan Gauss stalking them. Sara tries to talk him down, telling him Gauss is dead. Then Trent starts yelling that HE himself is Rylan Gauss and that he kills little girls, that his dad has the proof.
David examines Trent's ball cap and discovers bedbugs in it. There were none in any of the homes investigated but Trent had bug bites. They figure they must be wherever Trent has his little sister stashed.
Ballistics prove the bullets that killed Gauss came from Trent's gun. But not the bullets who shot Christine and the bag boy. They hypothesize that it was Moore who killed Christine with Gauss's through-the-eye MO in order to kill two birds with one stone: his wife and the man he'd been trying to put away for year. Moore confesses. Brass tells him to confess to Trent so they can find Holly. He does this and the severely damaged Trent says he "lost" Holly.
They track Trent's steps from the grocery store parking lot and start searching motels and find bedbugs and Holly.
