Two young boys, eleven-year-old Jason Crowly and ten-year-old Lucas Henson, go missing and the Las Vegas police department launches a desperate hunt to find them. When the CSIs are called to the property of registered sex offender Carl Fisher to investigate a fire that destroyed his car and house. The CSIs ponder his possible involvement in the boys' disappearance, but Carl maintains he was the innocent target of his neighbors' hatred for him. The CSIs explore other options, including Lucas's deadbeat father, Currie, and Jason's abusive grandfather, Terrence, but both prove to be dead ends, though they do learn the boys fled from Terrence after he violently reprimanded them and threw Lucas into a door at an abandoned house the boys play in. While the CSIs pour over Carl Fisher's car, hoping to get some evidence to hold him on, police officers discover the body of Lucas Henson.
In order to keep him from leaving the station, Grissom enlists Carl's help in profiling the boys' abductor. Carl tells the CSI that were it him, he would have studied the boys' home life in order to see how he could entice them to him. Sofia follows up on a report that Jason has been sighted on a bus bound for Texas and discovers the frightened boy hiding in the back. At the lab, Dr. Robbins determines Lucas was killed by a trauma to the head, and finds evidence someone attempted to revive him using CPR. Hodges is able to trace gas used to start the blaze to a gas station right by Carl's house, and a trace of Carl's ATM records proves he bought sixteen gallons of gas just before the fire--and his car can only fourteen. When Grissom confronts him, Carl defends his actions, claiming Lucas found him--that the boy tried to befriend him and, along with Jason, ran to him after Terrence accosted them. Carl bought the boys pizza, and gave Lucas aspirin and alcohol--a combination that proved fatal. Carl maintains he didn't kill Lucas, but Grissom counters that his choices led to the boy's death. The weary CSI watches as both Carl and Terrence are led away before going to lie down.
