The death becomes suspicious when Helen discovers that Alex's mother, Sarah, lost another child five years previous in another outdoor accidental situation. But Da Vinci has to walk a fine line as there is a possibility she is innocent in both deaths. The suspicions continue after they find Alex's body. Both Da Vinci and Kurtz are also concerned that Sarah has yet another infant child at home, and that at least the two youngest were somewhat unwanted pregnancies from the fathers' perspectives. Meanwhile, Dr. Ian Stroud dies in an automobile accident. During the autopsy, Sunny finds that Dr. Stroud was killed by a gunshot wound to the head, the reason it not noticed at the accident scene being that the bullet had exited his body and the shot was clean. The rationale for the shooting becomes clearer when Leary and Shannon discover he performed abortions and was on an anti-abortion hit list. They narrow down the killer after determining the shot was fired at close range. Elsewhere, Fred Turner is suspected of murdering his wife, Susan, based on speculation by a neighbor, Molly Wolnic, who had reported domestic disturbances at the Turners' previously. This time, she heard an argument, saw Fred carry something outside, and since that incident Susan has not been seen despite usually working in her garden. Fred seems like a up-front guy to Kosmo and LaBoucane, the investigators, until they catch him in a few lies, namely about some blood in the kitchen and stories about his missing dog, Ginger. It isn't until Susan's body is discovered that the full story emerges. Meanwhile, Leary learns what Shannon has been doing in his free time. Written by Huggo See less
