"I know, confess." "I am no one."

Sqweegel (real name unknown), aka "Ian Moone", is a serial killer in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

History

At the moment, nothing has been revealed about Sqweegel's past, not even his real name or what he looks like, but he has excellent acrobatic and contortionist skills, has been a serial killer for some time and, it is seen on a photo of him, has heterochromia, i.e. his eyes are differently colored. In Sqweegel, he comes to Las Vegas and attacks Margot Wilton, a philanthropist famous for her charity work with disabled children, but lets her live, putting him on the LVPD's trail. Inside her house, the CSI:s find almost no forensic evidence that can help them, except for some of his sweat, which went through the zipper of his suit, and a silicone-based spray used to get into fetish-related latex suits. The name of the buyer was listed as "Ian Moone", an anagram for "I am no one". He later attacks Carrie Jones, who had been appointed to the city's family values commitee while having an affair. In the end of the episode, Sqweegel eludes the authorities completely, exposing the fact that Margot Wilton had killed her son several years earlier as an act of mercy and made it look like an accident and killing a local paramedic who became a hero after rescuing people from a fire which he had set himself. In the last scene, he puts on his suit in front of a mirror and says "I am no one".

Modus Operandi

Sqweegel targets local heroes who harbor dark secrets, more often than not the dark secret being the reason they are local heroes or hypocritical to their hero status. He ambushes them in various ways, either by burglarizing their houses or somehow lying in wait, and holds them at knife-point with a scalpel. He threatens them into confessing what they have done and, if they don't, kills them. He often interacts with his environment somehow, such as turning over award plaques, cutting out faces from photos or some other symbolic act. Sqweegel often attacks the same victim more than once, likely because he sees that they haven't changed their ways. The first attack will often go unreported, due to the victim wishing to hide their secret.

He will also spend an unknown amount of time with his target without them realizing it. These actions such as living in the target's attic, spying on them with an eye hole camera, and even sleep just under the target's bed while they slept. The latex full body suit allows him to come and go without leaving any DNA or trace evidence.
