Grissom went back to the lab and looked through Greg's personal file. He noticed something he never had before. He saw the name Bethany Synder under spouse.
"There was a girl a while ago that Greg dated while he was a teenager and she didn't take it well when he ended the relationship, I believe her name was Bethany but I don't remember the last name." Greg's fathers words echoed in Grissom's head as he checked for Bethany in the AFIS system. Bethany did have a record, breaking and entering when she was 19. That was it; so far, they also did a psych profile on her and determined that she had sociopathic tendencies. She also spent some time in a mental institution. Grissom rushed back to the hospital. He burst into Greg's room.
"Greg, who is Bethany?" He demanded. Greg jumped up when he heard the door open then groaned in pain.
"Jeez Grissom, I'm already here for a stab wound do you want to add a heart attack to my long list of medical problems?"
"I'm sorry, but I need to know, who is Bethany Snyder?"
"How did you find out about her?"
"I looked in your personal file and found her listed under spouse."
"She's not my wife but she was at one time. When we were in High School we started a relationship that turned serious. She was a geek just like me and we were the cute nerdy couple in school. Well we started dating as sophomores and continued to date in my senior year. The night of graduation, she was worried about how it would affect our relationship since I was going to Stanford and she was going to Hope International, they were very far away. So I came up with a dumb solution, I proposed to her. Instead of going to graduation parties we went to a 24-hour chapel and got married. We kept it completely secret. No one knew, not even our best friends. First everything was great, we'd visit each other every weekend. But then when she visited me she'd start going out and getting drunk. She'd come back to my dorm and we'd fight. Finally, one night she took it way to far, I went back really late because I knew she was drunk. I got home about 2 in the morning. She was there and demanded to know why I was gone so long. I told her I was out with friends which was the truth but she didn't believe me and accused me of cheating on her. I tried to calm her down but she wouldn't listen and threw a beer bottle at my head. It didn't hit luckily, but I'd had it. I grabbed my stuff and checked into a hotel. In the morning I went back to my parent's house, I told them everything and begged for forgiveness. They forgave me of course, but when I was in bed that night I heard someone break-in. Luckily, I was right next to a phone and called the cops. I heard someone go into my parent's room and demand to know where I was. Thankfully, the cops showed up quick and I pressed charges. I also annuled the marriage. I found out later that they did a psych profile and that she had sociopath tendencies. I know that she spent some time in a mental institution, but I haven't heard about her for years."
"Thanks for the information Greg."
"Why did you ask about her, Grissom? Do you think she had something to do with this?"
"You know, that I don't assume anything Greg, but I do think she was involved." Greg sighed heavily.
"Get feeling better." Grissom said as he left.
"Thanks Grissom."
