It came from a concealed weapon belt buckle (this handy item actually has a working .22 built into the buckle) that belonged to a collector named Wiley Schindler.

His girlfriends are traumatized, his business partner (in a sky-diving business called Max and Pierre’s) is upset — and also limping and driving a crashed car.

The gun, which belonged to the congressman, was used in both the murder and the suicide.

Not everything was as it seemed on this episode of “CSI.” We thought our murder victim was FBI agent William Ray Hatford, who was pummeled to death by a man that a local stoner described as looking like a “Red Incredible Hulk.” The Red Incredible Hulk turned out to be Vinnie Mingus, a Supreme Force Fighter, who had pumped himself so full of steroids that not only did he rip off Hatford’s arm, he cut off some of his own muscle at the scene. Hunk of flesh: Now that’s a real clue.
