This one is a sad one.

A comedian is on stage, blathering on. He gets heckled on a joke about abortion and blows the guy off. He gets off stage and calls home to ask his wife if he needs to stop and pick up anything and to ask about their baby. A car screeches by and we get a nice piece of mis-direction when we think he's about to be this weeks victim, but no, it's just one of his fans telling him how funny he his. Still there is a feeling of foreboding as he gets in his car. He starts to back up and sees a box in his review camera. Cut to Brass Grissom and Catherine standing around looking down at a small child in the box.

Catherine take point with the body and finds bruising and small burns on the girls skin. David enters the pertinent info into the computer as Jane Doe. Later, Catherine changes the name to Cordelia.

Grissom takes the box she was found in and a bar code leads them to the address of a woman who had sent her a vacuum for her birthday. She's a chatty Cathy and talks non stop about what a good vacuum it is. Brass just wants to know what she did with the box. She calls to her boyfriend Dean James. (James Dean, backwards) and he says he thinks he threw it away.

Grissom also finds a hair in the tape on the box and a viscus liquid on the bottom. The hair belongs to Leo (something) who just happens to be Dean James. So they go back to talk to him and take him in. Turns out that when he was younger he did drugs and decided it would be fun to dance around outside sans clothes. Bad thing was it was in front of a bunch of pre-schoolers. So he got booked on a sex offense and had to register under Megan's law. Due to this he got harassed everywhere he lived, including having his cat nailed to his door. So, he decided to go with an alias and then he got his girlfriend and lived mostly with her. Catherine thinks he's lying.

Hodges brings in results on the viscous liquid and it's oil. He tells Grissom and Catherine that it's always a shame when such a beautiful child is killed, and Catherine takes exception to that, thinking that he'd think it would be okay if it's an ugly child. He gets confused and tries to explain his way out of it, but it's a moot point and Catherine leaves,mad. He asks Grissom if he made her mad, Grissom says yes, but she was on her way there before he opened his mouth.

Nick finds out that Leo had taken a car part to a garage in the vacuum box, and Catherine becomes more convinced that Leo is the killer because he lied.

Wendy discovers that the child's hair has been dyed or bleached, and Grissom quizzes her on how long ago it was. I think he's testing her because she's told him she wants to take the field test.

Also the burns on the child were chemical burns. Now the investigators know they're searching for a brown haired girl with straight hair. The televise an updated picture and the tv playing in the mess hall in a prison shows it. One man goes crazy on seeing the picture and yells that that's his daughter.

Catherine comes to talk to him and he says he knows who killed her. Seems he had a cell-mate who he bragged to about his perfect wife and child, and when the guy got out he asked him to watch out for them. A while later his wife divorces him and marries the former cell-mate. His wife had died when he was in prison, leaving him to take care of his daughter and son. Catherine searches the house and finds a chemical spill under the sink. No one is around. Brass puts out an APB.

A diner owner calls in when he sees the family and the step-dad takes the diner hostage. The task force leader asks him to let the kids and other diners out and he does. Then his wife goes to leave, not really wanting to, and trips and falls into the door. The attack squad thinks a gun was fired and they start shooting, killing the wife.

Brass is talking to the stepfather who says he's guilty and he'll sign anything they want him to. Catherine talks to the kids and find out they had been playing hide and seek and and the older girl had shown her where to hide under the sink. The stepfather had been asleep on the couch. The brother found his sister but not his stepsister. The father wakes up and find two of the kids sitting quietly and asks where their sister is. They lead him to the sink where chemicals are spilling out. He grabs her and runs for the...bus. He says his wife had the car. Anyway the girl dies and he thinks no one will believe an ex-convict didn't kill her, so he puts her in a box and puts his St. Jude necklace around her and leaves her in the parking lot.

Catherine is walking to her car in the garage and Leo (Dean James) comes up and starts to lay into her. Due to her insistence that he was the killer his girlfriend dumped him and called his job and told them that he was a sex offender and she threw his clothes out. He says he might decide to kill himself, since he doesn't have anything anymore, and if he does, he'll do it on her front lawn.

As I said, this is only on watching once, so I may have missed a couple of parts, but I don't hink I missed anything too important.
