A human bone is found in the desert accidentally by a dog playing fetch with a man and his son. Grissom and Catherine assemble a team to comb the area for more bones.

Catherine and Grissom pay a visit to his wife, who claims that her husband is at a nearby store. Sara and Warrick are called to a motel where a male stripper is found dead on the bed.

Goofs

A forensic scientist would know that, while not quite as hard as diamond, cubic zirconia is still 8 on the Mohs scale, harder than most semi-precious gems and perfectly capable of cutting glass, which has a hardness of about 6.
