My post from there, about an alleged abduction involving a kid not at school:
CSI (Las Vegas) Season 5 Episode 3 - Harvest
Woman (with lots of red hair, actually) goes to school to pick up her child. Very impatiently waiting, honking the horn.
Teacher comes over and asks if something is wrong.
Mother asks what is taking the child so long as they have a doctor's appointment.
Teacher says child is not at school.
Mother says she has to be there, she saw her leave for school that morning.
Teacher says she hasn't been in any of her classes that day.
It is alleged that the child was abducted from outside a convenience store while she was with her sister.
The sister was driving a
Red Mustang.
They have a
gardener and a pool man.
They find the child's body and determine she was dead before she was reported kidnapped.
She was spotted from a helicopter, in a clearing with trees, they refer to it as the woods. There was a lot of power lines. A small hill with power poles right near the body.
While they search for other evidence where her body was found, they are walking through tall vegetation with trees around.
The area she was found is not as dense as near Skyline but does remind me of Sauvie Island.
They are suspicious of the mother apparently liking the other children more than the murdered child. Possibly only using the murdered child to help save her favorite child, the son who had a terminal illness.
The blanket she was wrapped in match fibers in the house. The boot prints match the father's boots.
She was overdosed and died from cardio-pulmonary arrest. She died between midnight and 8am the day she was reported abducted in the afternoon. She was put in the trunk and there was marks on her back from the Dad's tripod.
She was wrapped up with her face covered and they point out that would help preserve evidence as well as indicate remorse, guilt and caring. At the same time it was made to look like a sexual assault, though there was none.
It ended up being the brother who killed her to save the girl from having to keep "saving" him, then the parents covered it up and the sister faked the kidnapping.
It is: CSI aka CSI Las Vegas - Season 5 Episode 3 - Harvest.
If anyone finds it somewhere that will play faster than this link...or has a shorter clip let me know. The school/convenience store scene is in the first couple minutes.
