Then Why Haven't You Charged Her?

Grissom and Brass were sitting at a table across from Tracy and her lawyer. She had her head down, avoiding any eye contact. Grissom knew she was guilty, not just because of the evidence, he could read her. Brass felt the same way. Still Tracy was defiant.

"I don't know what you guys are talking about. I don't know nothing about a baby, and I don't know no Katie Miller." Her poor grammar showed her lack of education. No wonder she had made so many stupid mistakes.

"Then explain why your tire tracks were in the parking lot Katie was killed in, why three long, blond hairs were found in Katie's car, and why you are on a security tape at the grocery store Brianna was found in. We have you on tape carrying her in, but not carrying her out." Brass couldn't help but be smug as he said this.

Tracy's lawyer countered, "If you have all this evidence, then why haven't you charged her yet? Because it's all circumstantial, that's why. My client's car isn't a one of a kind, she isn't the only blond in Vegas, and there is simply someone resembling her on the tape."

There was a knock at the door. Warrick came in and showed a file to Grissom. Grissom nodded at Brass.

"Look at this," said Grissom. "DNA results matching blood and hair from a tire iron found in your car to the victim. The DNA from the blond hairs matches Ms. Berquist as well. And fingerprint results from Brianna's car seat and the note are hers as well." He smiled at the lawyer confidently.

Brass took over, "Tracy Berquist, you are under arrest for the murder of Katrina Anne Miller, and the kidnapping of Brianna Nicole Miller. You have the right to remain silent...."

Tracy just started weeping silently. She was scared of what would happen now. Her lawyer knew her client would most likely be facing the death penalty.
