In the 5/15/13 CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode titled "Skin in the Game" began by investigation into three women, two deceased and one in a coma. All were strangled, had heart charms on their person or property, and were found in a staged scene with their bodies 'displayed'.
At first it would appear that the boyfriend of one of these women was mere 'collateral damage' having been found shot in the head and located in a freezer. The sex was wrong, the cause of death was wrong, and the location was wrong. Such an outlier was curious.
There appeared to be a religious theme or undercurrent amongst all the scenes. The so called signatures of this perpetrator were adding up.
When one considers an MO or modus operandi (Latin for method of operation) it should reduce the possibilities of potential suspects. It should lead to someone who has a particular method of operation or a particular habit that is so important to the personality as a trait that it becomes a signature to lead to a unique individual which helps to eliminate suspects and/or link crimes to one individual.
As it turns out the multiple signatures lead to the discovery that the perpetrator was following the outline of a particular theme - Dante's Inferno and the nine circles of hell.
It will be a small piece of the fiery place waiting for the next episode to see if either of the two daughters of major characters will be saved from doom.
