Four victims were all posed like statues: A nurse clutching a cell phone, a runner resting on a park bench, a businessman hailing a cab and an elderly couple bird watching. The CSIs discovered that the victims had been posed and asphyxiated in a chamber filled with carbon monoxide. The man behind the crime was frustrated artist Arthur Blisterman, who had entered a municipal contest to create bronze statues for the city, but had decided to use real bodies instead. When the CSIs realized there was still one potential victim out there — a boy who was to be posed on his bicycle — Grissom interrogated Blisterman trying to find out the truth. When Grissom told him he’d be facing the death penalty, he simply said, “I’m not scared of dying. I just don’t want to be forgotten.”
