![]() ![]() Lady Heather often wears Victorian-style dresses, referencing Holmes's era. Both Irene and Lady Heather enchant Holmes and Grissom with their beauty, their wit and their resolution. Their relationship is similar to that of Irene Adler and Holmes. Coincidentally, "Paul Millander" has the same initials as "Professor Moriarty." There's also a woman, Lady Heather Kessler ( Melinda Clarke), in whom he takes an unusual interest. Grissom also possesses a Moriarty-like nemesis, Paul Millander ( Matt O'Toole), whom he pursues in several episodes. Like Holmes, Grissom is dispassionate with a fierce devotion to logic and little regard for societal norms of behavior Grissom once smashed mustard jars in a grocery store to illustrate a theory, much as Holmes once practiced spearing a pig in a butchers to determine how strong a man would have to be to transfix a man with a harpoon. Russell ( Ted Danson), both have more than passing similarity to Sherlock Holmes. The character of Gil Grissom ( William Petersen), and later his replacement D.B. The incredible popularity of Sherlock Holmes (Bell in spirit) and his impact in the popular culture around the world contributed to a large development of all the forensic sciences along of the 20th century. As Holmes, Bell was an accomplished forensic with special attributions for investigation and deduction, using the observation and giving relevance to any detail associated to determine if a corpse was victim of a crime and who could to commit it. Joseph Bell, who was Doyle's teacher and mentor when he was student in the university, being the basis for the character. However, the real-life investigator and the main source for Holmes is Dr. Max Houck, director of the Forensic Science Initiative at West Virginia University, gave the example of a man who would not lick his envelopes to avoid leaving DNA, only to leave hair and fingerprints in the adhesive tape he'd use to seal the envelopes.ĭespite Archimedes being considered the first forensic investigator in history, the actual forensic science as it's known (and as it is shown along the series) exists after fictional Sherlock Holmes, created by Arthur Conan Doyle for his 1887 novel A Study in Scarlet. ![]() "A lot of them know they can use bleach and different detergents to mask our ability to take blood." However some law enforcement officials believe this can be a good thing, as many criminals end up generating more evidence by trying to dispose of it. " do clean up, and they tend to clean up much more carefully now," said Linda Johnson, a crime lab director at Jefferson County, Alabama. "Sometimes I believe it may even encourage them when they see how simple it is to get away with on television." Peavy isn't alone in his thinking. " are actually educating potential killers even more," says Head of Los Angeles Homicide Division Captain Ray Peavy. Some rapists have now begun forcing their victims to shower after an attack to wash away any forensic evidence. McKinney was a big fan of CSI, and this type of calculated behavior is no isolated incident. He was only caught because he was unable to dispose of his murder weapon (a crowbar) in an unexpectedly frozen lake and simply left it sitting on the ice. One example of this is when double-murderer Jermaine McKinney of Ohio, who committed a double murder by breaking into a house and killing a mother and daughter, he then proceeded to clean the crime scene (and himself) with bleach to destroy DNA traces, burnt his clothing to destroy evidence, bundled the bodies before transporting them and lined his car trunk with plastic to prevent fiber and blood contamination, collected his cigarette butts and took numerous other steps. Some criminals have even deliberately planted DNA samples from other plausible suspects to derail any investigation. In real life, police and prosecutors have noticed that due to the CSI effect real-life criminals have started covering their tracks and are destroying potential evidence against them before leaving crime scenes such as picking up spent shell casings, or wearing gloves. ![]()
