CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Secrets and Flies

The CSI team uncovers evidence in the investigation of a young mother's suicide that proves that the woman's newborn baby was not her biological child -- in fact, she was still technically a virgin at the time of her death. If the team discovers how the child was conceived, the answer may lead them to a killer. Meanwhile, Grissom is called into court to refute expert witness testimony from a suspected manipulator of evidence.

Cultural References
Title: Secrets and Flies

An obvious play on the term Secrets and Lies, used as a title in movies, books, and TV episodes

The testimonial evidence Gil provides is comparatively similar to that in a real life case involving David Alan Westerfield, a suspected child murderer (later convicted). The real-life forensics expert, Madison Lee Goff, testified about evidence involving the length of time larvae was on a dead body based on life cycles. Dr. Goff is a forensics expert and department chair at a university in Hawaii.



Episode References
The real-life forensics expert on whose testimony this episode is loosely based is Madison Lee Goff, a forensics expert and department chair at a university in Hawaii. In the season 9 finale, All In, Nick Stokes will mention that he is off to an entomology workshop in Honolulu run by Lee Goff.
