Synopsis: "Catherine and the rest of the CSI team find it challenging to get a good read on their new member as he joins them in tracking a recently active serial killer who has been killing since the 1970s. Tony Award winner Liev Schreiber joins the cast in the recurring role of Michael Keppler, a seasoned CSI who is assigned to Grissom's team during Grissom's teaching sabbatical. As Catherine and Keppler begin to investigate the murder of a teen-aged 'Jane Doe,' both agree that the killer, who was meticulous in removing evidence from the body and its surrounding area, is likely a repeat offender. Soon they and the rest of the CSI team uncover three similar unsolved cases that suggest the serial killer has been active since 1975."

The dead body of a young woman is found by a factory and Michael Keppler, a CSI from Baltimore who has been brought in to lead the day shift, joins the night shift CSIs on the case. Greg is able to ID her as Veronica Sorenson from Victorville, and Dr. Robbins determines she died of asphyxiation. He finds signs of vaginal trauma but no semen, indicating the killer used a condom. Cotton trace on her body suggests she's been washed before she was dumped. Suspecting this isn't the first time this murderer has killed, the CSIs look at unsolved cases bearing a similarity to Veronica's and find three Jane Does: one killed in 1999, one in 1989 and one in 1975. The CSIs look into the prior cases and learn that shoddy police work in '99 hurt that investigation, while lack of technology hampered the very thorough detective working the '89 case. The medical examiner in the '75 case didn't even perform an autopsy.
Dr. Robbins has the bodies exhumed and learns that all three had dental work very similar to Veronica's. Keppler constructs a computer map of the locations the victims were found and discovers they are radiating out from a dental practice: the Colebert Dental Group. Keppler and Catherine pay the practice a visit and learn that Veronica was a patient of Dr. David Lowry, a dentist who has been with the practice for thirty-two years--long enough to have treated all the victims. The jovial "Dr. Dave" recognizes Veronica but not pictures of the other women. Certain they've got their man, the CSIs zero in on a bite mark on the arm of the '89 victim. Though they're not an exact match to Lowry's teeth in the present, they do match his teeth prior to the end of '89, when he had corrective surgery. Dr. Dave is unshaken by the CSIs' big reveal: he's lived a long, full life, and will die before being executed. But he refuses to reveal the names of his other victims, leaving them Jane Does for all time.
