Move Along
A/N: Yes, I did actually get a map of NYC… and I also found out that Yahoo hasn't updated its map of my city in about three years… my street isn't even on there, and now there's an entire new section of the neighborhood behind us!
"Alright, what did you get?" Munch asked, walking into Warner's lab.
"DNA. Semen, to be exact. We ran it through the system, along with the fingerprints that were on her window. Matched both," she said, handing him a file.
"What's this?"
"An old case file. She isn't this guy's first victim. His name is Thomas Carlysle. He was charged three years ago for child molestation, but got off. Not guilty by reason of insanity. He was released from a psychiatric facility two weeks ago," Warner told him.
"So why did he attack Olivia?"
"Look for yourself. She was lead investigator in his case."

"Warner find anything?" Cragen asked. Munch held the file he'd received out to him.
"A suspect. DNA and fingerprints are a match, and it has the same MO," Munch said. "Suspect's name is Thomas Carlysle. Liv was lead investigator on a child molestation case three years ago. Thomas Carlysle was found Not Guilty by reason of Insanity. He's been in a mental hospital upstate, but they released him two weeks ago."
"Any idea why?" Cragen asked.
"The facility he was in is overcrowded. Apparently they're releasing the least dangerous patients back into society to make room for those who are capable of murder," Munch told him.
"Looks like someone made a mistake."

"Thomas Carlysle never showed any signs of violence. If he had, we would never have released him," Dr. Morrison said. She sat behind her desk, watching Munch and Fin. "Is there any reason you're asking about him?"
"Mr. Carlysle is a suspect in one of our investigations. We just need to know why he was released," Munch told her. She nodded curtly and pulled out a thick file folder.
"Mr. Carlysle was one of our better patients during his time here. He was a severely disturbed man, but by the time of his release he had learned how to handle his anger and emotions. He was never a behavioral problem, and he was very helpful to the staff. He would do whatever he could to help out around here. He was wonderful."
"Did he ever mention an Olivia Benson to you?" Fin asked.
"I don't remember offhand. I have tapes of his sessions, of course," Dr. Morrison said.
"We're going to need copies of those tapes," Munch told her.
"I can't give them to you unless you have a warrant. Doctor-patient privilege. You understand, I'm sure."
"Is there anything else you can tell us?" Fin asked.
"Not without a warrant. I wish I could help you more," she said, folding her hands the two detectives stood up and started to leave. "I can have the files by four if you get your warrant."

Munch sat with his headphones on, listening to the fifth of over 150 tapes. Each one consisted of two sessions. So far, no mention had been made of Olivia.
"This dude is so damn boring," Fin said, throwing down the headphones he wore. Munch stopped the tape and pulled off his own. "I swear, if I spend another minute having to listen to him whine about his damn step mother I'm going to hurl."
"This guy's about as deep as a puddle of dog piss," Munch said. Cragen walked out of his office.
"We've got another one. Same MO as Olivia's, only this one didn't make it," he said. "14th, across from Union Square."

Elliot rolled over and looked at his clock. It was already after nine. "Shit," he muttered, getting up quickly. He hurriedly threw on some clean clothes and brushed his teeth. He grabbed his cell phone, deciding to check his messages on the way out. As he was walking down the stairs of his building, gun and badge in hand, he heard Cragen's voice on his voicemail.
"We've got a suspect, but I want you to sit this one out. Take a day off. That's an order." Elliot sighed and turned around, going back up to his apartment. He put his gun and badge down on the counter and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

"What have we got?" Munch asked, walking into the small apartment. Warner looked up at him.
"She's been dead at least six hours. Bruising's pretty consistent with what we saw on Benson, only this time he made sure he was dead before he raped her," Warner said.
"I hate Necrophilia. It's disgusting," Munch said.
"Tell me about it. This guy's learning from his mistakes. You'd better catch him before he has a chance to find another victim."
A/n: Sorry about the short bits in this one… but it moves fast, and I can't drag stuff out to make the story longer without compromising the fast pace that we're used to from the show. And Christopher-meloni-freak - What did that say? I didn't understand that one!
