The hit forensic crime drama continues its eighth season. In tonight’s episode, which features special music performances from singer-songwriter Jewel and country star Shooter Jennings, the team investigates after a cowboy is found dead at a rodeo and his girlfriend is killed in a hit-and-run.

The world of bull-riding is a lucrative business –the winner of tonight’s contest stands to win a million dollars. But it also proves a dangerous game when popular rider Cody Latshaw is thrown to the ground and gets a hoof to the jaw for his troubles.

The hit forensic crime drama continues its eighth season. In tonight’s episode, the CSIs’ investigation into the murder of a well-respected socialite leads them into the murky world of illegal dog-fighting. Meanwhile, Warrick is questioned over how a stripper ended up dead in his car.

The discovery of a pile of decomposing dogs is gruesome enough for the authorities, but when the beaten, bloodied body of a woman is found among them it is time to call in the CSI team.

When Dr Robbins sees the body on his autopsy table, he is shaken to recognise her as Elizabeth Rodriguez –a socialite who, along with her husband Felix (Jesse Borrego, ‘24’, ‘ER’) had recently been honoured for her humanitarian work.

Robbins’s band had been playing at a function the couple attended, and he remembers them dancing right in front of him. “You gonna be OK with this one?” asks Catherine gently. “I’m just not used to seeing them alive,” replies the doctor.

The hit forensic crime drama continues its eighth season. Tonight, the TV drama debut of ‘The Exorcist’ director William Friedkin sees Warrick having a spectacularly bad day. After a police chase results in the discovery of two bodies, the ensuing investigation uncovers dark goings-on at a mob-owned strip club – and Warrick crosses the line when he gets involved with one of the dancers.

Police pursuing a speeding rubbish truck are shocked when the chase ends with the death of the driver, who is hit by a car when attempting to flee on foot. The body count soon rises to two when a corpse is found on the street, having fallen out of the truck. When Warrick arrives at the scene late, blaming personal troubles for holding him up, a peeved Grissom gives him the unattractive task of processing the vehicle.

The hit forensic crime drama continues its eighth season. In this episode, Hodges presents Wendy and her fellow ‘lab rats’ with a series of hypothetical murders in order to give them a chance to play CSI; and the team attempts to reach out to Grissom in the wake of Sara’s departure.

Lab tech Archie is working on a suitcase full of packets of cocaine, which he is photographing and logging into evidence. So far, so good –until one of the packets suddenly explodes, killing the hapless tech in the process. Fortunately for Archie, this nightmare scenario exists only in the mind of Hodges, who is presenting Wendy with a hypothetical crime in order for her to hone her investigative skills. “I’m sure Grissom has told you,” he explains to his student, “that we speak for the dead. Think of this exercise as a way for the dead to speak for themselves.”

The hit forensic crime drama continues its eighth season. In tonight’s episode, Sara is rattled when an old case comes back to haunt her.
When the broken body of freshman Kira Dellinger is found outside her dorm building, the initial assessment is that she jumped from the roof –this would make her case the third suicide of the year.
However, there was no access to the roof that night, and when Nick processes the dead girl’s room, he notices some blood on the windowsill – Kira was pushed. When Catherine finds a tooth fragment in the girl’s knuckle, she concludes that a struggle took place before Kira’s fatal plunge.

In tonight’s episode, the CSI team works with the FBI to investigate the murder of a young boy and a woman, and explore a possible connection to the work of a serial killer.

The corpse of Carmen Davis, a woman in her early 30s, has been found in her apartment –along with the body of a ten-year-old boy lying in a pool of blood. When Grissom arrives at the crime scene, he finds that most of it has not been processed – his team stopped work because the case appears to be linked to an FBI investigation. When Special Agent Jack Malone (guest star Anthony LaPaglia) of the FBI arrives at the scene, he explains that the dead boy might be a child who was abducted in New York six years earlier. The boy’s babysitter had been murdered.

Greg notices that all of Carmen’s jewellery has been stolen, so begins searching pawnshops for evidence. Warrick, meanwhile, discovers that activity on poker sites from the last two days on

The successful Las Vegas-based forensics drama continues its seventh season. Tonight, Grissom and Greg investigate a shooting on a limo that leaves one man dead. And Catherine tries to find out what happened to a young woman who was thrown out of a car and dragged along the street.

A drive-by shooting on a limo leaves a man namedChamp dead and another injured. The injured passenger goes by the name of ‘Drops’ and is an old acquaintance of Brass. He tells the detective that he was sat next to Champ when he was shot dead through the car window.

Analysing the limo in the lab, Nick finds a smallerbullet hole in the window that seems to have been caused from the inside. “Someone inside the limo had a gun,” Greg concludes. Brass interviews Drops again and he admits that he left a bit out of his story: “We shot back,” he says.

Greg finds a rolled up $100 bill in the limo speckled with cocaine, but is surprised to learn that none of the limo’s occupants tested positive for drugs. Instead, the bill has traces of male and female DNA. The computer has a match for the male DNA: it is Aaron James, the brother of Demetrius James, the young man that Greg knocked down and killed (see the episodes ‘****smackin’’ and ‘Post Mortem’).

The successful Las Vegas-based forensics drama continues its seventh season. Tonight, the team investigate the grisly murder of six showgirls who all lived together in the same house. Sara blames herself for not being able to save the sixth victim, who dies as the CSIs arrive at the scene.

The CSI team is called to a Green Valley house where five showgirls who lived together have been found stabbed to death. When Sara enters one of the bedrooms, a bloodied hand shoots out from underneath the bed and grabs her leg. The hand belongs to a sixth victim, Cammie, who splutters out the mystifying phrase “pour wine”, before breathing her last. It is a traumatic experience for Sara, who feels that if they had managed to get there earlier, they might have saved the girl. “There’s nothing you could have done, Sara,” a sympathetic Robbins tells her later.

The team make a number of discoveries as they trawl through the house. Catherine finds bloodied paper towels in the bin, implying that the murderer cleaned off the knife between each kill. Sara finds smudged fingerprints on the handrail outside the property, and Grissom sees that the killer tied each girl up with bedsheets and sexually assaulted most of them. It also appears the killer moved from room to room at random and had no prior knowledge of the house’s layout. “I think when he came to this house he was unprepared,” says Grissom.

The successful Las Vegas-based forensics drama continues its seventh season. Tonight, the CSIs investigate the disappearance of a high school cheerleader and her basketball player boyfriend.

Grissom and Nick are called to a high school where a cheerleader named Meagan and her boyfriend Ryan have gone missing. Meagan’s friend Sheila says that Meagan had arranged to stay at her house, but failed to show up. Ryan’s van is gone and Grissom finds blood on the playing field. “Something bad happened here,” he says.

The CSIs find a damaged camera lens on the ground near an equipment room that has been broken into. The lab confirms that the blood is Ryan’s, and the investigators find debris from a car accident on a nearby road, with acceleration marks on the tarmac. Nick theorises that a car may have knocked somebody over and sent them flying – and sure enough, they find Meagan –battered and bruised –in a ditch by the road.

The phenomenally successful Las Vegas-based forensics drama continues its seventh season. In tonight’s episode, Keppler is forced to face his past when an old face turns up in Vegas asking him for a favour. And Grissom returns from his sabbatical and wonders what’s been going on in his absence.

Keppler (guest star Leiv Schreiber) is already having a bad day and is in no mood for more trouble – unfortunately, it doesn’t look like he can avoid it. Having woken from a nightmare in which he re-lived the moment he shot the drug dealer who raped his high school girlfriend, Amy, Keppler is unsettled to see Amy’s father Frank McCarty at breakfast. McCarty is a cop from Keppler’s home town of Trenton, New Jersey, and is in Las Vegas to ask Keppler for a favour. When Keppler refuses, saying that he’s “trying to move on”, McCarty backs off: “I get it, bad timing.”

When Keppler later joins Nick on a double homicide case, it turns out that he isn’t free from McCarty just yet. A man and a prostitute have been found shot dead in a hotel room, and the prostitute is missing a hand. Law enforcement uniforms and a police shotgun in the room identify the dead man as Trenton cop Dennis Graves – the friend who McCarty was in town with. Keppler is shaken, especially when McCarty arrives on the scene, but he doesn’t tell anyone that he knows McCarty.

The phenomenally successful Las Vegas-based forensics drama continues its seventh season. In tonight’s episode, Brass, Sara and Warrick investigate when the wife of a wealthy real estate tycoon is killed in her home, while Greg, Keppler and Sofia probe a murder case involving the sale of body parts.

After realtor Bill Dorton returns home from a business trip to find his wife Margo dead on the floor, Brass, Sara and Warrick arrive on the scene. They notice that the victim is wearing a cocktail dress and is covered in blood, killed by blunt force trauma to the neck. An empty champagne bottle and two glasses are found nearby. Was she having an affair? Or is Bill lying, and did she catch her husband with his mistress and die for her troubles? Sara finds a hair on Margo’s dress while Warrick notices a circular blood pattern in the bathroom. It looks as if someone killed Margo with the champagne bottle and wiped it down afterwards.

21.00–22.00

The phenomenally successful Las Vegas-based forensics drama continues its seventh season. This week’s episode sees the CSI team divided like never before, as Catherine reluctantly agrees to help Keppler deceive their colleagues in order to catch a murderer.

A local politician named Danielo Zamesca is found dead in his car in the desert with drugs in his possession. Clues from the scene indicate that the killer was Thomas Simon, a known drug dealer who may have tried to blackmail Zamesca, but when the cops go to arrest Simon, they find he has fled.

CSI Keppler (guest star Liev Schreiber, ‘Scream’) comes up with a plan to lure Simon out of hiding. He proposes the use of ‘reverse forensics’, whereby a crime scene is invented, and a third party is enlisted to confess to both the fake crime and the Zamesca murder. Once the story breaks that someone has been arrested, the true culprit – Thomas Simon – will feel safe enough to resurface. “The goal is to make Simon think he’s off the hook,” Keppler explains. However, there is a catch: “You’ve got to be willing to deceive the people you work with,” Keppler says. In order to stop leaks getting out, he, Catherine and Brass will have to keep the plan secret. Catherine reluctantly accepts that they have no alternative.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation - Leaving Las Vegas (11/24) Tuesday 3 April 21.00–22.00

The phenomenally successful Las Vegas-based forensics drama continues its seventh season. This week’s episode sees Catherine fighting to convict a man charged with murdering his mother. Meanwhile, news that Grissom is to take a sabbatical spreads through the department.

Catherine takes to the stand in the trial of Jay Finch, a man accused of murdering his mother Addie by stabbing and shooting her. Catherine explains that the knife found at the scene had four sources of blood on it – one from the victim, one from Jay Finch and two unidentified types. But despite building a strong case, Catherine is disgusted to see Finch walk free.

Catherine is now determined to reopen the case and solve the mystery of the unidentified blood. Jay Finch drove around for days after his mother’s murder, and Catherine wonders if a similar, unsolved crime in the town of Larkston might also be Finch’s doing. With Nick in tow, she heads out of town to investigate.
