Plot

When another body of a dead woman is found on the beach, Horatio thinks that Esteban Navarro, the "Miami Taunter," has struck again. But could it be the work of a tribute killer, or perhaps something even more sinister?

When another tortured female corpse is found on the beach with missing eyes, Horatio suspects "The Miami Taunter" is back. The team focuses on prime suspect Dr. Esteban Navarro, but he has a solid alibi. The MO with Vanessa Tillman seems different as an insulting scrambled call to the parents is lacking, but actually the mother ignored it, being used to slur, and the answering machine was stolen from the Tillman home, leaving a small blood race, which is nearly destroyed by the inexperienced CSI recruit. Ryan and Walter have her search for another way and concentrate on available evidence. It points to unbalanced, traumatized Tauter-fan Phil Pinkerton, who after a failed escape confesses too easily and is murdered in his police cell. Horatio traps critic Scott O'Shay to have the voice recording produced and promises Esteban and his lawyer, who proclaim his innocence proven, to get them later, formally forced to close the case.—KGF Vissers
