Plot Summary

A tennis star named Claudia Weber is found in the ball machine murdered by her own racket and was stabbed in the throat by it. One of the tennis players noticed the balls had blood on them. Three suspects emerge, her husband/ coach, her tennis rival, and the doctor she was seeing because of a nightmare she was having that happened when she was 4 years old.  She kept saying a name, "Bret!" They also find out that the man who says he is her father is really her adopted father.  He had found Claudia on the side of the road up in Mt. Charleston.  She was bleeding, she was near death, he took her to the hospital. Claudia was holding her rabbit she always carried with her.  The CSIs find her blood on the rabbit.  They then try to find out where her parents are and find out who this Brett person is.  Greg and Nick go up to Mt. Chaleston and find the bodies of Claudia's real parents.  They were killed by a shovel.  They then find her brother, Brett, who they find out was beaten by his father since he was 4, and his mother didn't do anything about it.  Brett got broken bones and took many trips to the ER.  His mom said the broken bones were from playing football.  Brett then decided on that camping trip in Mt. Charleston to kill his parents.  He killed them with a shovel.  He told Claudia to stay in the tent, but she would not listen.  He said he didn't mean to hurt Claudia.  He accidentaly hit her with the shovel, and he thought she was dead, so he fleed.  He then says he looked up Claudia, and he saw that she was playing in Vegas.  He came to Vegas to try and talk to her to explain what happened that night and tell his side of the story.  He said he saw Janet, Claudia's rival, that night Claudia was murdered.  A video shows that Claudia's rival had been sleeping with Claudia's husband/coach.  When he and Claudia decided to make up, Janet got mad and killed Claudia by hitting her twice with Claudia's racket and stabbing her in the throat with it.  She then put Claudia's body in the ball machine.
