Partial Recap

Dr. Hillridge has been brought in for questioning. Grissom tells her they found blood in her blender and matched it to the jogger. She tells him bugs will die if they don’t have bodies to feed off of and she will too. *Porphyria, the madness of King George, or the legend of the vampire is what she suffers from. It caused her lips and gums to recede. She tried different drug regiments but nothing helped. Her spleen absorbed her blood so it was removed. After lesions formed on her face she bought her first dog. If she used a gun or poisoned her victims their blood would have been tainted. She tells him humans are the best source of heme. That’s when he understands why she took the liver, spleen, and heart. She tells him she’ll die in prison. Grissom says the people she would feed off of will still be alive. She is placed under arrest for the murder of Terry Manning. As she’s being escorted out she tells him she would dry the organs and grind them up. Then she’d put it in her protein shake.

*Porphyria : a defect of blood pigment metabolism in which porphyrins are produced in excess, are present in the blood, and are found in the urine.

Also called hematoporphyria
