C.S.I. New York Episode Guide
goes down to investigate. He checks the walls with a flashlight and sees a vent at ground level.
He finds a door and goes down a set of stairs. After searching for some time he finds the rest
of the skeleton in a corner. Stella joins him. They have found where the young man has been
killed, but also where he seemed to have lived. She takes pictures of the body. The teenager was
probably a runaway. They find a backpack with the initials A.M., a pipe which could have been
used to kill him, a book and a pocket knife. Back at the lab, Hawkes reconstructs the skeleton
with the missing bones. Mac checks the pants and finds a folded paper in a pocket. Danny dusts
the pipe and finds a print on it. Aiden gets the green light from Mac to work on the skull. Hawkes
tells Stella that the boy was 5’10 tall and had probably worn braces at one point in his life. His
tibia shows that he broke his leg and let it heal. He was probably limping. The only potential
fatal injury was the skull fracture and a pipe could have done the deed. He could not identify the
body through dental records. He will try an ID through DNA but has little hope for results. Plan
B is a facial reconstruction and Aiden comes to retrieve the skull and prepare it for the task. Mac
checks the backpack and finds a sketchbook with several views of New York. Aiden works on the
skull, putting stickers to show the average thickness of the ligaments and skin. She then draws
the face with the help of a picture of the skull. She then uses putty to model the face and shape
his features. Mac joins her to get a look once she’s finished. The fingerprints retrieved led them
nowhere, the person is not in AFIS, and there was no match with the DNA found in the Missing
Persons database. Hawkes comes by and tells Mac ans Stella that some people want to see them.
A couple, the Morelands, came after seeing an article in the newspapers about the backpack
and the pocket knife. They are certain they belong to their son, Aaron. Stella warns them they
couldn’t identify the body. Mac shows them pictures of what they found around the body. They
positively recognize the backpack and the knife, but quickly dismiss the sketches and the book.
Aaron was a musician and left Minnesota in 1987. They give them a picture of their son. Mac
and Stella are not convinced, they show them the facial reconstruction and the Morelands admit
that it doesn’t resemble their son. Danny tells Stella that the prints on the pipe were not in the
system. He wants to check further, he found 117 cases which took place near to where the body
was found, every time the suspects were acquitted or the charges dropped. Stella tells him to
concentrate first on the victim’s clothes, as those files are not on computer, the task at hand
is huge. Mac studies the paper found in the pants under the microscope. Only 3 letters can be
seen. Stella joins him and tells him that no unresolved case in the Missing Persons database
matches their victim. They look at his sketches. One strikes them as it is Port Authority and was
drawn from the inside of a building in which homeless kids have free rein to every floor. They go
to this place and interrogate Paul Danner, who is running the Youth crisis center. The place is
crowded. A man, Joel, serves food to the hungry teenagers. Stella shows Paul the picture of their
victim, but he doesn’t recognize him. At the lab, Danny processes the T-shirt. He finds stitching
resembling a L, that is the logo of a company called Lagronne. He cuts a piece of the fabric and
runs an analysis. When Stella and Mac get back, the Morelands are waiting for them. They want
to know if they could identify the teenager who had their son’s things. It’s their only connection
to Aaron. They leave when they understand that no one is looking for their son. Aiden sent the
picture of the reconstruction to newspapers nationally, in the hope to identify the young man.
Mac checks the paper with the three letters on under several different lights and new letters
appears. Danny tells Stella that the shirt was an expensive Lagronne. But the victim couldn’t
have purchased it in a shop, as it was a prototype from 1988. He was probably a rack runner on
7th Avenue. They go there with Flack. He tells them that management admitted to hiring street
kids, because they were cheap. No one recognizes the victim, as none of them worked there at
that time. Stella informs Mac that the T-shirt led them to a dead-end, all they know is that he
was killed after 1988. Mac shows her the paper under a special light. All the letters are now
readable, it’s a ticket from Bruno’s Pawn Shop. They know that he was alive on February 21st,
1990, as he pawned a watch that day. When they go there, Bruno informs them that they are too
late. The owner of the watch came just hours before to retrieve his property. Mac thinks it was
no coincidence that it was picked after 14 years. Someone didn’t want them to get it. As he looks
up, he sees the surveillance camera. Danny, Stella and Mac go to the AV Lab to watch the video.
The man was clever, he hid his face from the camera. He knew what he wanted because he went
straight to the main counter. They see that just before leaving he went out of frame. Thanks to
the computer, Danny can get the pictures. The man went to a guitar and pinched the strings.
They can retrieve his DNA from the strings. Dr. Giles is able to get partial DNA and he had a hit in
