"You were right. What you said about the eyes. I wanted them to look. Know that my face was the last thing they were ever gonna see."

Clay Dobson was a serial killer, rapist and budding spree killer in season three of CSI: NY.

Biography

In June 2005, Clay had murdered Lily Hartley and Lauren Henning (though he was never convicted of the former's murder, since he never confessed to killing her and her body was never found) and was convicted based solely on the confession he made to the investigator, Detective Dean Truby, but his conviction was overturned when Truby landed in jail. As a result he resumes killing, starting with Emma Pierce. He was later apprehended by Mac while trying to abduct and murder Katie Lawrence.

Once Clay is apprehended on a rooftop and after being handcuffed, Clay intentionally falls off the roof in an attempt to frame Mac for murder. When he crashes onto the roof of a squad car, Flack and other officers look up to see Mac looking down, horrified. It was originally thought that Mac had thrown him off the roof, but he was later cleared. Before this Lily Hartley's father charges at Mac and reveals that Clay also killed his daughter.

Modus Operandi

Though his methods of killing varied, Clay would usually rape his victims and cut off their eyelids with a modeling knife before killing them. His second and third victims also had their heads wrapped with packing tape.
