A close brush with the Silver Ink Killer in CSI: Vegas' latest episode
Episode 16 brought to viewers a new case where the Silver Ink Killer appeared to be targeting the crime lab. It seemed like Medical Examiner Sonya Nikolayevich was next on his list as he tried to poison her to death.
While working on an autopsy, Sonya discovered that the victim was orally poisoned. She was presenting her findings to the team and explaining how the whole process happened when she suddenly collapsed.
She was immediately rushed to the hospital, but even the doctors there were baffled by the poison she was given. It was soon discovered that she was poisoned by the same thing that poisoned Molly, whose autopsy she had been doing.
How the team investigated Sonya's Poisoning
During the investigation into the poisoning, while the team members were at the morgue, all of their cell phones started to ring simultaneously. They soon realized it was Ron Winter, aka the Silver Ink Killer, calling to threaten them.
Later, Maxine found out that Ron was interested in Thallium. She came to the conclusion that he was going to aerosolize 300 people at Mountain Vista Psychiatric hospital. The team rushed there to find that Ron was in the hospital, dressed as a doctor.
Catherine recognized him and chased him to the stairwell. Maxine and Beau, on the other hand, went to the basement to try and contain the poison before it was too late. Thankfully, the team was able to successfully handle the issue.
Although by the end of the episode, it looked like Sonya's condition was starting to stabilize and she may live, the Silver Ink murderer is yet to be caught.
