User Reviews

Not What You Usually See At The Thrift Shop

Wow, I can't say I wouldn't be shocked myself if I was shopper and discovered body parts at a local Thrift Shop.

Even worse, the dead person's mouth is packed with the cremation remains of another person. What the heck is this all about? Between what was in the victim's mouth and his cut-up body parts discovered at a Salvation Army-type store, the CSI men and women have a lot to figure out.

However, the writers still found time to install a small personal segment as "Ray Langston's" ex-wife visits the CSI building to tell Ray some big news, which Ray handles well.
