The Most Disturbing Criminal In CSI: Miami Season 1
By Emily Bell
Season 1, Episode 6 of "CSI: Miami," titled "Broken," has one of the most heinous crimes ever depicted on the procedural series. It kicks off when a mother loses track of her young daughter, who ends up being found dead in a bathroom. They manage to piece together fragments of the perpetrator's fingerprints and identify the assailant as Stewart Otis (William O'Leary). They track him down to a farm where they stumble upon a collection of child pornography as well as the bodies of several missing deceased children.
It's a grisly sight that hints at horrific acts having taken place there, but even after he was arrested, fans weren't out of the woods from having to see him again. He reappeared on the series in Season 1, Episode 24, "Body Count." He escapes from prison with two other criminals, and they quickly fall back on old ways. Fortunately, he's captured yet again and eventually executed for his crimes.
Stewart Otis left a haunting impression over the rest of "CSI: Miami" Season 1. Few criminals after him have managed to leave such an impact.
