CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (TV Series) Tressed to Kill (2012) User Reviews

Hair Brained

[Hitchcoc · 7/10 · 19 March 2021]

This show probably would fit better on Criminal Minds which frequently goes over the line in presenting people who are psychopaths. In this episode a man sneaks up on young women with long hair and with a straight razor, cuts a large tress. This would be annoying until he starts killing these women and posing them, using the hair he has accumulated. The CSI's, Russell in particular, feel guilt at assuring these women they are going to be OK and find them, throats cut, eyes destroyed. Sort of sick.

Braid of Hair

[claudio_carvalho · 8/10 · 16 November 2023]

Two teenage sisters are wandering in a shopping, when one of them notice that a piece of the hair of her sister Eva Byron was cut. She goes to LVPD and soon CSI learn eleven similar cases. Russell receives a phone call from Eva and when he arrives at her apartment with Brass, they find her dead, without her eyes, wearing sunglasses, a vintage dress and a messy lipstick. They find also a tress in her throat. After analyzing the braid of hair, Hodges concludes that there are twenty-six strands of hair from twenty-six women, including the eleven that reported the previous attack. The women are summoned at station, but one does not show-up, Joyce Debernardi. They find her dead at home, with blind eyes and similar modus operandi. When the CSI discover that one braid of hair belongs to woman with cancer, Morgan and Sara visit Dr. Bill Ryan at the hospital. He reluctantly discloses the file of his patient Lucinda Kemp, and now the LVPD and the CSI have a lead to be followed.

"Tressed to Kill" is a great episode of "CSI", se first without Catherine Willows. The plot of a maniac that cuts a piece of the hair of his future victims. The plot gives false leads, but in the end, the team of the investigators succeeds to find the psychopath. My vote is eight.
