First ‘Some Buried Bones’ Plot Details Revealed

According to CSI Files sources, “Some Buried Bones” opens with a terrified college student, Brian Miller, 20, running for dear life through a hedge maze in Queens. His face is bruised and bloody. He desperately searches for the exit. The path t-bones, giving him two options: left or right. He chooses left and kicks up his speed a notch. He sees the exit ahead. Beyond that, the city of Queens.

Miller glances back toward his pursuer, then returns his attention to the exit. The exit has disappeared, replaced by a new hedge wall. Miller stops and looks for another way out. Up ahead an oxidized copper statute of a soldier suddenly comes to life and stabs at Miller with his bayonet. Miller dodges it and trips. One by one an eclectic mix of copper statutes and animal-themed topiaries come to life. They surround him. Miller is attacked by unseen forces.

Mac, Flack and Hawkes investigate the hedge maze crime scene. Hawkes finds two NYU exam receipts in Miller’s pocket. One bearing the name Eddie Walsh; the other Thomas Baxter.

Mac and Flack go to the NYU dorm room of Thomas Baxter, 20, a blond haired, blue eyed product of East Coast aristocracy. They show him a picture of Miller. Baxter acknowledges that he had Miller take a test for him. Miller intentionally scored 17% on the test because Baxter owed him some money. Baxter claims he and Miller were like brothers and denies killing him.

Meanwhile Hawkes pays a visit to Eddie Walsh, 20, Abercrombie & Fitch-looking, in the NYU medical lab. Walsh was Miller’s roommate. When Miller didn’t come home the previous night, Walsh assumed he was pulling an all-nighter at the library. Walsh claims to have worn Miller’s jacket to take a test and forgot to remove his exam receipt. Hawkes points out that Miller scored a perfect score on that exam, though the professor said he’s never scored higher than a 65. Walsh decides to fess up, admitting there’s no way he’d get into grad school with his grades.

Mac and Hawkes get into the hard drive on Miller’s computer and find an article Miller was working on called “Inside the Crypt.” The article details Miller’s experience leaving the exclusive campus secret society Skull and Kings. The departure ceremony was to take place in Queens.

In the B story, Danny and Stella investigate the shooting of a Barney’s employee in the course of a shoplifting spree. High-end stores across the city are getting hit by a shoplifter with expensive designer tastes. Every item stolen is worth four figures and up. A $25,000 designer purse is among the items stolen. Danny and Stella reason that a purse that expensive wouldn’t be displayed on the counter. Someone would have had to ask a sales clerk for assistance, thereby creating a witness.

Danny and Stella head to Barney’s. The store is a mess and still closed to shoppers. They talk to Marissa Richards, 20s. Richards recalls showing the purse to a blonde woman with large sunglasses and a great jacket right before the shooting started. The blonde woman put on long white satin gloves before touching it. She told Richards she was going to think about. Richards put the purse back behind the counter and went to help another customer. Then she heard gunshots and all hell broke loose in the store.

While in Barney’s, Danny receives a call from Detective Angell who tells him Bergdorf’s just got hit with the same M.O.

Danny finds a slip of paper containing the shoplifter’s shopping list and a name of a customer she was “shopping” for. Arnold Fabrizio. Danny and Stella pay a visit to Fabrizio who tells them his cousin knows a girl who can get whatever he wants at a 75 percent discount.
