"What do I want? I want you to remember my name!"

Nigel Crane is a would-be serial killer and a stalker, who appeared in the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode Stalker.

History

Little is known of Crane's early life however he worked for a cable company called Luna Cable for eleven years, this is how Crane selected his victims. He also stalked a woman named Jane Galloway for several months, living inside her attic and recording her every move, by tapping her phones and by placing microphones all over her house. He chose Jane because she resembled Nick Stokes prom date as he idolized Nick. He idolized him because when he installed his cable, Crane said they had a "connection".

Stalker

After he had enough of stalking Jane, he suffocated her using a plastic bag and posed her in a similar position as a photo of Nick's prom date. He even dyed her hair red becuase he knew Nick liked women with red hair.

After following a lead Nick and Warrick Brown go to Crane's residence, whilst Warrick is outside calling someone, Crane pushes Nick out of a window and escapes.

Grissom and Catherine search Crane's house and they discover that he lives in his attic, surrounded by surveillance equipment and videos of his victims. They then discover that Crane had been stalking Nick for months and rush over to his house to warn him.

In the mean time, Crane is already in the attic of Nick's house. A man who has helped in the case called Morris Pearson comes over to warn Nick that he may be in danger. Pearson wanders off in the house and is then killed by Crane and his body is dragged up into the attic. However Crane and Pearson's body fall through the attic floor and holds Nick at gunpoint. He taunts Nick but then turns the gun on himself, then Nick wrestles the gun from Crane's grip and then he is subsequently arrested.

In the later episode, Grave Danger, Part 1, Crane was mentioned by Gil Grissom that he could be the one responsible for Nick's abduction but it was said that he was still incarcerated.
