In a section of town festering with drug dealers and addicts, an immaculately dressed, seemingly wealthy man is found murdered in his car. As Grissom (William L. Petersen), Nick (
George Eads), and Warrick (
Gary Dourdan) investigate, two interesting facts come to light: the victim was not robbed, and he was in the neighborhood for a definite purpose. Across town, another body is found stuffed in a tire in an auto junkyard. At first, Sara (
Jorja Fox) and Catherine (
Marg Helgenberger) assume that the heavily made-up victim was a transvestite. Ultimately, it turns out that the dead man was dressed in a clown costume...but why? ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
