S2·E2 Dead Zone

Episode recap

In the second episode of the second season of CSI: Miami, titled Dead Zone, the crime scene investigators working for the Miami-Dade Police Department face a new murder investigation. The department follows crime scene investigators as they use physical evidence to solve cases. In this particular case, the body of a man who was involved in recovering sunken treasure is discovered. The victim is found pinned to the wall of his new cabin cruiser. The cause of death is a bloody spear that was fired from a speargun at close range.

The crime scene investigators handle cases in Miami, differentiating themselves from colleagues in other locations such as Las Vegas. The team of criminalists from Miami operates under the leadership of David Caruso. The group works to solve murder cases that might be considered too demanding for other laboratories to handle. As the investigation unfolds, the team examines the physical evidence surrounding the man found on the cabin cruiser and his involvement in recovering sunken treasure. The provided materials do not detail the subsequent investigative steps, suspects, or conclusion of the case, focusing instead on the initial discovery of the victim pinned to his boat by the speargun.
