According to CSI Files sources, “Fallen Idols” begins with the disappearance of Liberace High School star basketball player, Ryan Franco, and his cheerleader girlfriend, Megan Cooper. No one has seen them since the game the night before.

The parents of the missing kids convince Detective Brass that foul play is to blame. Megan comes from a close, loving family. Ryan had a scholarship to Duke. Neither of them would run away. Jane Cooper, Megan’s mother didn’t report Megan missing until the morning following the game because she thought Megan was sleeping over at her friend Sheila’s house.

The investigation begins at the last place Ryan and Megan were seen – the high school. The parking space assigned to Ryan’s 1982 Chevy van is empty. Grissom and Nick go to the field house, where it’s clear some post-game action was planned. Equipment and boxes were pushed aside to clear a space in the middle of the shack. A couple blankets lie on the floor. A cheerleader’s sweater and letterman’s jacket are cast to the side.

Sofia interviews Sheila Latham, Megan’s best friend. Sheila explains that Megan was supposed to spend the night with her, but was going to hook up with Ryan first and then call. Megan never called. Sheila assumed the make-out session went into overtime and fell asleep.

Warrick meets with Diane Kenter, the high school photography teacher. Ryan and Megan were both in her sixth period class. She tells Nick that they were good, high profile kids. Warrick notices some pictures of Ryan and Megan. Ms. Kenter says they were taken by classmate Charlie Keller, a student with talent and an unrequited crush on Megan.

A major break in the case comes when Megan is discovered broken and bloody in a ravine off a road near campus. When Grissom and Nick arrive at the scene, Nick finds a pulse. Megan is severely injured as a result of being hit by a car, but still clinging to life.

Megan is taken to Desert Palm Hospital. Her parents and Charlie Keller are there. Charlie is the one who found Megan’s body. He says they’re very close. They live next door to each other and he gives Megan rides to and from school everyday, except for Fridays when she gets ride from Ryan. Charlie is a male member of Megan’s cheerleading squad.

Ryan’s van is found on a small side street, but there’s still no sign of Ryan. A pink cell phone discovered in the front seat of the van is determined to belong not to Ryan’s girlfriend Megan, but to her best friend Sheila.

Fans of the Grissom / Sara romance will want to stay tuned for the final scene.
