TV REPORTER: ... with one of the victims involved in an office dispute but that has not yet been confirmed.
This much I can tell you; downtown Miami...
Can you believe it?
This much I can tell you; downtown Miami...
Can you believe it?
It's national news and we don't even know what happened.
Some Alpaca herdsman in Peru knows more about our case than we do.
Knows what to look for, he does.
CAINE: One over the left eye...
...and one right between the eyes...
...and one into the right eye-- boom boom, boom... and that's called the kill zone.
No messing around, clean and deadly.
Hey, guys. So, nobody saw a shooter.
I've got seven people that say they heard a shot.
One shot for all three victims?
Yeah, it's ridiculous-- one shot.
There's no way.
I also have a couple of witnesses.
They say they heard a car screech away.
So we're still interviewing.
Keep me posted.
Yeah.
So how did three people get shot in broad daylight on a busy street and nobody sees anything?
Sniper.
♪ Yeah! ♪ Captioning sponsored by CBS and CSI PRODUCTIONS
♪ We don't get fooled again ♪ ♪ Don't get fooled again ♪ ♪ No, no! ♪
( sighs ): No two witnesses place the shot coming from the same direction.
Okay, shoes...
Lost shoes indicate people running for their lives.
Yeah, not these three.
Jason Groves, Lou Blake, and Maya Franklin-- Jason was a stockbroker; Lou a janitor and Maya was a secretary.
They worked together?
No, so far there hasn't been any connection or workplace issues.
You know, the press got it wrong.
Let's get all the surveillance video from the street interior and exterior.
You got it.
Alex, how many bullets am I looking for?
The guy in the suit-- bullet lodged in his head.
That man, same thing.
And let's see what happened to your bullet, sweetheart.
Messed up your pretty weave, that's for sure.
Yeah, it went right through you.
Through and through.
Okay. Calleigh?
Let's find the third bullet.
We need to triangulate.
Hopefully we can locate the shooter's position. Speed.
( sighs ) Don't these people have anything better to do?
Okay, all right, remember where you are.
Anything catch your eye?
Not yet.
All right.
So, let's get everything back to the lab.
We need to start the victimology and figure out why these three people got shot, okay?
Yeah.
Good.
Yeah.
Good.
I've got one divot over here.
Victim dropped in her tracks, bullet went through her head...
hit here, based on the teardrop shape.
Tail indicates that it traveled in this direction...
And maybe it's a small caliber.
Looks like a .223.
.223. Okay, let's get the trajectory.
You and I will work the bullets.
Alex, you and I are on the bodies.
Okay, Maya, let's see what's going on with you.
Angle is downward...
into the glabella, perforated the brain then exited through the occipital bone.
( beeping ) Hmm... 20.5 degrees.
What were the other angles?
20.8 and downward; Mr. Groves.
20.1 downward; Mr. Blake.
Hard to get that shot from the ground unless the shooter's ten feet tall.
Or they're in a tenth-story window.
Bullet entered her brain shut down the central nervous system-- immediately fatal.
Never felt a thing.
Next best thing to going in your sleep.
DUQUESNE: These are not your daddy's bullets.
Normally bullets have striations, but these don't.
Sabots encased in plastic.
Specialty bullets: not illegal but also not widely available.
Right-- encased in plastic to protect the bullet making it impossible to match it to a specific weapon, right?
This guy is thinking ahead.
He does not want to get caught.
Maybe he's just beginning.
Three dead before morning rush hour is over.
( cell phone rings ) Who knows...
Excuse me.
...what the day will bring us.
Horatio.
...and the rest is back here.
Sitting right there was Dee Lawrence-- 73, tourist from Oklahoma.
She was shot at 9:15 when the bus driver stopped for a bathroom break around Second near Langley.
Wait a minute.
Did you just say Second and Langley?
Yeah.
We've got a fourth victim.
DELKO: Driver said he saw people running outside Uh, he heard the back window shatter ( gunshot ) He heard screams, didn't know what was going on.
In a panic, he took off.
He went straight to the hospital.
They couldn't save her.
Why would he suddenly be shooting at a moving target, though?
He missed?
Hmph-- not this guy.
Not this guy.
( cell phone rings ) ( ringing continues )
WOODS: Victim number four, the grandmother.
Trajectory is upward, into the left...
...temporal lobe.
Alex, you just said upward-- 2.5 degrees upward.
How is that possible?
Ricochet?
You're going to tell me that that bullet is not a Sabot.
No, it's a nine millimeter.
Then that means we have two shooters; one in the sky, one on the ground.
Then that could explain the shot that was heard at the scene.
Megan.
Could be from the nine millimeter.
Megan, you and Eric are on a different case.
Take the grandmother on the bus.
You got it.
We have somewhere to be.
Yeah.
CAINE: That's good.
All right, good.
These lasers should get us up close to where these shots were taken from.
You ready, Angel?
All right...
let her rip.
650 yards.
That's six and a half football fields.
One shot, one kill.
This guy's either military trained or police.
He's Marine Corps, probably; they're the best snipers in the world.
So, that is his nest up there.
Now let's go find out if he left us anything.
CAINE: Sniper taped that door shut.
He didn't want the gunshots echoing in the stairwell.
DUQUESNE: He would have had to disassemble his rifle and hide it in something to get it up here.
Maybe it was a Winchester Model 70 or a Remington 700, I don't know.
Charles Whitman disguised himself as a delivery man to get up the Texas tower and he got there, he just wheeled his guns and his ammo onto the observation deck and killed 14 people.
He wounded 31.
Well, this sniper moved to the high ground as well, didn't he?
Yeah.
All right, if I was a sniper what's the first thing I would do?
You'd pick your spot.
Prone position is best for shooting.
Right, the problem is is this wall obscures my view of the target.
Yeah, so maybe you were kneeling.
And maybe I went higher.
Take a look at that.
So what do you get when a six foot tall man lays down with a three foot long rifle?
Hot flashes. That's just me.
What you get is a GSR cone.
This is his location.
This is where he shot from.
It's a tough location for exposure.
You can be seen by a helicopter maybe one of these buildings.
I've got burlap with gravel glued on.
Camouflage.
Better than camouflage, you know what that is?
That's from a homemade urban guilley suit.
That's what Marines use in the desert, camouflage.
And take a look at this.
This is not gun powder.
Sand.
Sand. On a roof?
DUQUESNE: Yeah, it's a sand sock.
You hold it in your hand or you put it on the ground right underneath the muzzle.
Then one squeeze is enough to raise the barrel right to the sweet spot on the target.
This guy is scary.
Look, Marisol, it's not my case, okay?
If you want Dad to stay home or call in sick from work you should call him yourself.
You know he's not going to listen, okay?
I got to go.
I have to go, I'll call you later.
Bye.
What's up?
You talking to your sister?
Yeah, our dad works downtown and she worries about everything.
So what's going on with the sniper case?
Well, Horatio and Calleigh found his nest and I'm on victimology.
Find any connection?
Nothing obvious.
That's good time to look for the un-obvious.
I'm aware of that.
H. says that to me all the time.
You know, it's great minds...
You're unbelievable.
I am.
See you later.
Hey, they get anything on the nine millimeter in Grandma Lawrence?
Show me yours, I'll show you mine.
Nothing. No match in IBIS.
Ah, I've got something.
Nine millimeter plus.
Check it out.
That spec is government issue blue paint called "Postal Blue."
One guess what it's used on?
Depressed mailmen.
DONNER: The bullet that killed Grandma ricocheted off a mailbox near Northeast Second and Langley.
SPEEDLE: Must be this one near the southeast corner.
Put one of those uh, chartered tour buses in the street.
And line up the back of the bus with the mailbox.
Can you do a 180 to the other side?
SPEEDLE: An ATM.
What do ATMs have?
Surveillance cameras.
And what do I have?
Surveillance tapes from downtown.
Adhesive residue on the rooftop door was electrical tape.
And we got through the night without another shooting.
My mom wants me to come home to Louisiana but I told her even Al Qaeda couldn't make me.
Mm, people are starting to get nervous which is the way he wants it.
Take a look at this and tell me what you think it is.
Some type of vegetation.
We found three of them on the roof.
In terms of the guilley suit we were right.
Made the entire thing out of this the burlap we found up there.
Must have taken him weeks.
Snipers are patient.
They can lay in wait for days waiting for the target.
If conditions aren't right, they won't take the shot.
You know a lot about snipers.
I used to date one.
Marine Corps, Special Op, 38 kills.
He's retired now.
He runs a rifle range about an hour away.
You still friends?
Yeah.
It's been a while since I fired one of these.
MAN: You know your way around a gun.
Sniping's different.
Comes to shooting you can't trust just your eyes.
Just like a crime scene.
Most people think a bullet travels in a straight line.
The actual path of the bullet is arced like a rainbow
That's the first thing your sniper has to take into account.
The next thing is the wind.
See that tall grass, 50 feet ahead?
Means the wind is moving three to five miles an hour.
But at 75 feet wind speed's completely different.
Take a look at those tall reeds.
Tells you the wind is going five to eight miles an hour.
CAINE: So no matter where your target is you adjust for the wind.
Kentucky windage.
DUQUESNE: In the 20/100th of a second it takes a sniper to pull the trigger he takes one controlled breath and decides if condition are right to take a life.
CAINE: You put a human being at the end of the barrel of your weapon and you become God.
You have all the power.
You stay in control.
Shot has to be perfect to take it.
We know you were downtown yesterday morning at this ATM.
You took out $40.00 at around 9:15 right before that sniper hit.
Yeah, I... I hit the ground.
Scared me to death.
Really? What'd you see?
Pavement, like everybody else.
I was talking about who was doing the shooting.
I didn't see anybody.
Just the other people who were dying.
Mr. Santoya, do you own a gun?
A gun? No. Never.
What's this all about?
May we come in?
Why?
We just want to talk to you.
So go ahead and talk.
All right, there was another shooting downtown yesterday.
Someone killed a 73-year-old grandmother.
And that someone was near the ATM the same time as you.
I-I... I wish could help you.
I'm sorry.
If you'll excuse me, I have other things to do.
I'm sorry.
You believe that?
What? That he slammed the door in our faces or his story?
Either.
Neither.
He's hiding something.
Mm-hmm.
CAINE: You're looking at Japanese Black Pine.
Now it's not indigenous to Miami but it is commonly used to grow Bonsai trees.
DUQUESNE: Our sniper has a hobby.
And patience-- it takes 20 to 30 years to grow a Bonsai tree.
I also found urine.
Probably up there all night waiting to take his shots.
( door opening ) Happened again.
Police just arrived on the scene.
Now witnesses tell us one person has been shot.
There may be others, we just don't know yet.
What we do know is that the sniper has once again struck in downtown Miami.
CAINE: Second day, second shooting.
SPEEDLE: Could be unrelated.
Could be a copycat.
DUQUESNE: It's the same part of town.
Yeah, but the first shooting happened in the morning.
The MO's different.
Is it?
The only time busier than early morning is evening rush hour when people are trying to get home.
SPEEDLE: Or get a quick bite to eat.
Michael Corday, 39.
Professor at Miami-Dade Community College, had a wife and three kids and no one heard any shots.
He just bought a hot dog and fell over dead.
Director's ready to have a stroke.
He wants to call in the Feds.
CAINE: Two shootings, two days four victims-- this guy's on a spree.
Can we place him on a building?
Not with just one bullet, but I can approximate distance.
So the only evidence we have are bullets we can't use and strips of a homemade guilley suit.
Let's not forget the sand and the Bonsai needles.
The further the evidence takes us away from the crime scene the greater the chance he'll let down his guard.
And that's when we'll get him.
CAINE: Speed.
So, BetOnAnything.com posted three-to-one odds that he's going to shoot again Monday morning.
Sounds like a good bet.
Ten-to-one odds that he's going to shoot in a different location.
Okay, but he is shooting people downtown for a reason.
Well, you know, Delko's dad works downtown and his sister doesn't want him to go to work.
What do you think the odds are realistically that we're going to find this guy before somebody else gets killed?
I don't know.
But if this guy gets us to change the way we do our jobs then those odds are going to go up.
So let's go do that okay?
All right.
Hang in there.
DONNER: He's lying.
About what, I don't know.
So what do we know?
That at 9:15 Ray Santoya was at the ATM.
And so the question is what was he doing at 9:16?
Shooting the nine-millimeter at something.
Maybe he saw the sniper.
Or was working with him.
Wait.
Go back one.
What do you see?
Bring his face up full screen.
His glasses.
There's a reflection.
It's the Nuevitas baseball team.
That's their logo.
And he's talking to whoever's wearing that jacket.
We may have a witness.
To both shootings.
Uh... can I help you?
Yeah.
Uh, we're looking for Ray Santoya.
He's not here.
Miami Dade Police.
Can we come in?
Sure.
Yes.
Thank you.
SEVILLA: And you are?
Gustavo Santoya.
Gustavo?
What's going on?
We need to ask you and your son some questions.
What about?
Do you mind if I take a look at that jacket?
Wait a minute, what for?
Right here.
What the hell are you doing?
Don't worry. It's waterproof.
But not GSR-proof.
Remove your jacket, please.
No, no, it-it's not his. It's mine.
Father...
I was wearing it.
Don't do this.
It was me. I was there.
Nobody else.
And not my son.
I swear on my mother's grave, no lo sabia.
I didn't know. People were...
Yo crei que veia al que disparava.
You thought you saw the sniper?
No, not the sniper.
Then who?
( people screaming ) GUSTAVO: The car was full of callejeros...
street kids.
( gunshot ) I thought I saw a gun.
El tenia una pistola negra.
A black gun-- he was holding it.
I swear to you.
And I didn't see any woman in the car.
Solo los cuatro muchachos.
The four boys were laughing...
...at the people dying.
Well, you didn't see her because she wasn't in the car.
( people screaming, gunshot ) ( glass shattering ) Tell her family I'm sorry.
I was trying to protect my father.
( quietly ): All right.
( overlapping radio voices): Four dead so far in the so-called Miami Dade shootings...
There have been four shootings so far that have been linked to...
A car backfired earlier today causing panic in downtown Miami...
Worried parents are keeping their children home from school...
The authorities have not ruled out any...
The special bullet is designed to prevent the authorities from tracking it...
So far, all victims have been shot during rush hour.
So far I've confirmed our businessman was inside the dry cleaners two minutes before all hell broke loose.
Good. Good.
Confirm this for me.
The sand on the right is...?
Is... a mixture of calcifying green algae and brown Swiss cheese- looking grains uniform in size.
Likely from erosion?
Beach sand.
Sand on the left?
Found traces on the roof, sniper's nest.
Gastropods cells...
and football-shaped grains of benthic foraminifier.
Mmm, but not homologous.
I'm thinking from a quarry.
I'm thinking you're right.
Based on the penetration test-- I used a gelatin block to reconstruct the human tissue-- the shooter was 975 yards away.
You're kidding?
Give or take a yard or two.
650 yards for the first shot, 975 for the second.
He was showing off.
Maybe he's making a sport of it.
CAINE: The sand in the shooter's sand sock is coral.
So he practices shooting in a coral quarry.
Right.
Which would give him the distance he needs.
Now, these three locations are all abandoned.
Gives him the isolation he wants.
So you want to look at all three?
Don't need to.
Take a look at that.
Jet fuel.
Jet fuel and coral.
Now watch this.
There you go.
Like giving us directions.
Natural sound cover.
Perfect place to keep your rifle on.
So if I was him...
...where would I shoot from?
Well, he needs distance.
He's a long-range shooter.
Nothing moves here.
Take a look at this.
That's how he judges the wind.
So if he's shooting from there...
where would the bullet end up?
DUQUESNE: Christopher Harwood, 42 ex-Marine Corps Special Ops.
His world, and welcome to it.
( camera shutter clicking ) Everything's in perfect order.
He's trying to control his environment.
The way he wants to control us.
Firearm data cards.
There must be 20,000.
He's recorded every shot he's ever taken.
Or planning to.
This one was dated this morning.
That could be residue.
Mm-hmm.
He's been on another rooftop since taking out his latest victim.
This could tell us where he's been.
Or where he is right now.
I matched the dry cleaning receipt to our stockbroker Jason Groves, screen on the left.
He stops in, drops off his wife's blouse and two pairs of pants.
Okay.
The screen on the right is Lou Blake, janitor.
Picking up some pictures of his dogs.
I hope somebody's feeding them.
In the center, Maya Franklin secretary.
She stops at Dade Sugar and Spice, 9:09.
Stands in line five minutes and 23 seconds.
Three total strangers just living their lives.
What about our fourth victim?
On the cell phone, eating a hot dog, talking to his wife.
Okay, one-hour photo shop one-hour dry cleaners, coffee shop, fast food.
Is that our theme?
They were all in a hurry.
Mm-hmm, is that it?
That was it for them.
Five hours to rush hour.
Let's find out what this residue's made of.
Three hours till downtown becomes one big living target.
Keep me posted.
SPEEDLE: The substance on the back of the data card was a hardcore adhesive called RT600.
It was only used two years after Hurricane Andrew.
To prevent rooftops from going airborne in case of another hurricane.
Now, I've narrowed it down to three buildings.
We've got to get it down to one. Okay...
here's what we need to do.
We've got to outhunt the hunter.
Where do we start?
Where he did.
He climbed up to the roof of the hotel building.
He'd been preparing for a long time.
He brought his guilley suit with him...
assembled his weapon...
scope last.
DUQUESNE: Climbs even higher...
gets into position...
He waited for the right conditions.
Then his targets were irrelevant because the people that he killed were picked at random.
Meaning he picked spots...
and not victims.
CAINE: Once he hunkered down...
he was up there all night dry firing.
( trigger clicking ) He didn't eat.
He didn't move, not for any reason.
He waited for as long as it took.
DUQUESNE: And he didn't take the shot until conditions were perfect.
Like a skier visualizing a hill before the race starts.
Because he was waiting for his puzzle to be complete.
DUQUESNE: He used a flag or a tree to gauge the wind.
CAINE: But it didn't matter how long he waited because as soon as those pieces fell together he'd be ready.
To take three shots.
And the answer my friend...
is blowing in the wind.
( beeping ) Speed what do you got?
Of the three buildings that used RT600 after Hurricane Andrew only one has not been reroofed narrowing it down to this one.
Now, these are satellite photos taken from the past 72 hours.
He hasn't been there.
Okay, but this guy is a chameleon.
He could blend into a side of beef.
Why this building?
These are lines of sight from the building to surrounding areas.
Let's turn it 180 degrees, please.
( beeping ) ( beep ) All industrial.
Okay, now shift 90 degrees west.
( beep ) Targets everywhere.
Okay, there's a high-traffic area up on the upper left side.
Can you highlight that?
( beep ) Let's check the line of sight.
( beep ) That's his kind of spot.
Lots of people walking into it.
Yeah, but that's got to be over 800 yards away.
We've got to play with his wind.
DELKO: I'm in position to scramble the wind condition.
CAINE: Affirmative. Stay in position.
Calleigh.
Calleigh, where are you?
We're with SWAT heading upstairs.
Okay, you'll be my eyes and ears.
MAN: There's a sniper in the vicinity.
Everybody out. Everybody clear out.
Officer listen, I need a 360 quarter-mile perimeter cleared.
Got it.
CAINE: Calleigh, speak to me.
Ma'am, you can't be here.
Go ahead, ma'am.
Horatio, you're right in the line of fire.
Okay, listen to me this guy is one shot, one kill.
If he can't make it, he's not going to take it.
The wind from the helicopter ruins his shot.
SWAT has him in our sights.
I need to know if this an all clear.
I need confirmation, Calleigh.
Code four, code four.
Sniper has been apprehended.
The sniper has been apprehended.
We have him in custody.
Nice work.
Have you considered a transfer to SWAT?
I don't look good in all black.
I beg to differ.
Don't you want to know why?
You just killed four innocent people.
You're evil. You enjoy death.
I hope you enjoy your own.
Take him.
