travel to Miami
to assist in the investigation as the trail leads there. On arrival, they meet their CSI: Miami
counterparts. Catherine wants to take over the scene, and Horatio Caine
politely lets her. Horatio finds the girl in a secluded plantation and the team discover some bullets, tire tracks and urine left behind by the kidnapper. Calleigh Duquesne
identifies the bullets. One difference is noted between the teams, the Miami ones use theories, while the Vegas ones follow the evidence. Grissom
and the rest of the team stay behind in Las Vegas to continue the investigation from there. At the site, Horatio deduces that the kidnapper stopped to take a leak and the girl escaped. Tim Speedle
tells Horatio about the feds wanting a word. The feds say that the man is a serial, and has done this before, all the victims came from the same hotel. While Horatio is talking with several FBI agents, he gets a tip-off and sends Eric Delko
into a swampy river to look for any possible evidence, while Horatio covers him for alligators. A car is found and it is towed on to riverbank only for the team to discover Mrs. Rittle's dead body, naked other than duct tape wrapped over her mouth, breasts, and genital area. Alexx Woods
later discovers her to be covered in honey and raped. Horatio and Catherine then go a club called 'Hive' where they take a girl wrapped in plastic wrap and pour honey over her. Horatio takes a sample and later hints he had been there before, on opening night as a VIP. They discover the honey on the wife is a match to the sample from Hive. Back in Las Vegas, Grissom and Doc are flipping through medical textbooks. The man's girlfriend had previously told Grissom and Nick that the man, Adam Van Der Welk had a "sickly sweet" smell. Doc realizes that the killer has diabetic ketoacidosis
, hence the body odor. Later Eric finds more evidence from the bacterial in the swamp that ties Mrs. Rittle's killer to the same person who killed her husband and abducted her daughter. An expensive honey was used. They look at orders and find a limo driver, Gordon Daimler, also the Rittle's chauffeur. He states however his client only had breath, due to alcohol. Turning on the AC, Horatio finds the smell again. However the girlfriend says he doesn't drink smelly alcohol. The cure for diabetic ketoacidosis is insulin, and they look at buyers. They find that Daimler bought some and he used it right before they found him, so he did not smell. All his victims were his clients. They head to his latest clients place and find it bloodied and empty, the boat missing. They find the Corwins boat where they see two heat signatures and the FBI believe the male one to be Daimler. Horatio knows this is a trick by Daimler, and threatens to hound the FBI sniper if he takes the shot. Horatio boards the boat, however Mrs. Corwin has died. Horatio knows Daimler is on the Corwins jet and arrests him there, Mr. Corwin did not get killed and will be able to testify. Horatio later talks to the young girl and states he has lost someone too, and her aunt has flown to Miami. Horatio thanks Catherine for the help, but she states its the other way around and the Vegas team departs home.
