Meanwhile, Catherine and Sara investigate both a suspected suicide-by-train ("Caged") and a homicide at a remote convenience store ("And Then There Were None"), Warrick is allowed to head the crime lab ("Ellie"), Grissom and Willows come to face to face with a serial killer in a courtroom ("Identity Crisis"), and Nick studies the death of a woman who drowned in the desert ("Anatomy of a Lye"), after finding himself the target of a stalker ("Stalker"). </p> <h2 id="cast">Cast</h2> <h3>Main cast</h3> <p class="note">Main article: <a href="/facts/List_of_CSI%3a_Crime_Scene_Investigation_characters/nese2xBI">List of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation characters</a></p> <ul><li><a href="/facts/William_Petersen/5ymUfSLW">William Petersen</a> as CSI Level 3 Night Shift Supervisor <a href="/facts/Gil_Grissom/wHHLkqCS">Dr. Gil Grissom</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Marg_Helgenberger/rgccWfFG">Marg Helgenberger</a> as CSI Level 3 Assistant Night Shift Supervisor <a href="/facts/Catherine_Willows/5LlXvGN2">Catherine Willows</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Gary_Dourdan/t93JuFoq">Gary Dourdan</a> as CSI Level 3 <a href="/facts/Warrick_Brown/R4ELRI09">Warrick Brown</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/George_Eads/ByDJG5NL">George Eads</a> as CSI Level 3 <a href="/facts/Nick_Stokes/qKFjAu5m">Nick Stokes</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Jorja_Fox/xNyTw8Yv">Jorja Fox</a> as CSI Level 3 <a href="/facts/Sara_Sidle/7rC0W7lx">Sara Sidle</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Paul_Guilfoyle/qHgQWXnc">Paul Guilfoyle</a> as <a href="/facts/Las_Vegas_Metropolitan_Police_Department/c8RNYtga">LVPD</a> Homicide Unit Captain <a href="/facts/Jim_Brass/f5lN7LIU">Jim Brass</a></li></ul> <h3>Recurring cast</h3> <table><tbody><tr><td><ul><li><a href="/facts/Robert_David_Hall/JhLa9gKh">Robert David Hall</a> as <a href="/facts/Clark_County_Coroner%2527s_Office/Sx8qXPaR">Clark County Coroner's Office</a> Chief Medical Examiner Dr. <a href="/facts/Al_Robbins/nese2xBI">Al Robbins</a></li><li><a href="/facts/Eric_Szmanda/jUP0Vxb9">Eric Szmanda</a> as DNA Technician <a href="/facts/Greg_Sanders/r0jrH5fc">Greg Sanders</a></li><li><a href="/facts/David_Berman_(actor)/2jsAQ54M">David Berman</a> as <a href="/facts/Clark_County_Coroner%2527s_Office/Sx8qXPaR">Clark County Coroner's Office</a> Assistant Medical Examiner Dr. <a href="/facts/David_Phillips_(CSI)/LtGxUPtH">David Phillips</a></li><li><a href="/facts/Skip_O%2527Brien/m4zjHFhN">Skip O'Brien</a> as <a href="/facts/Las_Vegas_Metropolitan_Police_Department/c8RNYtga">LVPD</a> Homicide Detective Sergeant Ray O'Riley</li><li><a href="/facts/Archie_Kao/wIb1Fu9z">Archie Kao</a> as Audiovisual Technician <a href="/facts/Archie_Johnson/4fKuoU0z">Archie Johnson</a></li><li><a href="/facts/Gerald_McCullouch/X6pLcSIb">Gerald McCullouch</a> as Ballistics Expert <a href="/facts/Bobby_Dawson_(CSI)/nese2xBI">Bobby Dawson</a></li><li>Geoffrey Rivas as <a href="/facts/Las_Vegas_Metropolitan_Police_Department/c8RNYtga">LVPD</a> Homicide Detective Sam Vega</li><li><a href="/facts/Eric_Stonestreet/fozjEhtn">Eric Stonestreet</a> as Questionable Documents Technician Ronnie Litre</li><li>Joseph Patrick Kelly as <a href="/facts/Las_Vegas_Metropolitan_Police_Department/c8RNYtga">LVPD</a> Officer Joe Metcalf</li><li><a href="/facts/Jeffrey_D._Sams/uWSfI8Cd">Jeffrey D.
