Chapter 10 – Sara's Apartment

They approached the officers.

"You're quick we just phoned through the scene!"

"We didn't get a call about the scene. We're here about something else."

"I'll give Griss a call."

"What happened?"

"We got a call from the neighbour, saying strange noises where coming from this apartment. She said the lady that rent's it went away yesterday."

"Yeah, when we got here there was no answer so we broke in. That's when we found the body in the bedroom."

"There's also a message on the wall for Grissom."

"That's why we called you guys."

"I'll start to process the bedroom."

"I'll start in here then."

They both worked quickly gathering what little evidence they could find. Catherine had just finished processing the bedroom when David turned up for the body. David recorded the body temp. "She's been dead for 8 hours. Causes of death. Knife to the throat. But there's not enough blood to suggest she was killed here.

"We found the blood."

"Where?"

"It's in the bathtub!"

"Still? What's it doing in there?"

"Guess he didn't have a pen and paper. He's left Griss a message on the wall."

"You know this place looks familiar to me."

"Yeah, me too."

Just then Greg came through the door.

"What are you doing here? We're done."

"When uniform rang through, Grissom sent me down. Thought you might need help. He wants us to process this apartment thoroughly and the roof and basement."

"We'll we're done in here. Why the roof and basement?"

"Don't you guys know where we are?"

"Well it looks familiar."

"This is Sara's old apartment!"

Basement

Warrick took the roof and Catherine and Greg took the basement. Warrick soon joined Catherine and Greg.

"Nothing's up there!"

"So far we found 2 foot prints. Greg's just finishing with them, and a set of prints. Guess they belong to a child very small."
