"I wanted to hurt her the way she hurt me; by taking away what she loved most. But most of all, I wanted her to know it was me doing it."
Steve Davis is a serial killer who appeared in season nine of CSI: NY.
History
At the age of thirteen, Steve was sent to therapy with Dr. Carly Emerson as treatment for his obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression. To make him feel comfortable with her, she would play the boardgame Clue with him. In adulthood, he fell in love with Dr. Emerson. However, she told him that she had a fiancée and that she must stop having sessions with him. This made him angry and he stopped taking his medication and began killing her other patients, basing the murders on Clue.
Modus Operandi
Steve targeted Dr. Emerson's other patients. He killed them in various ways, but always used weapons that appear as potential murder weapons in Clue. His first victim, Lisa Weston, was shot with a pepperbox revolver, the weapon used to represent a pistol in most current editions of Clue. His second victim, Ellen White, was strangled with rope. His third victim, Shane Simmons, was struck with a candlestick. The locations of the victims' deaths were also used to reference Clue; Weston had red hair, making her a reference to Clue charracter Miss Scarlett, and was killed in Hell's Kitchen, a reference to the Kitchen area in Clue. Ellen White was killed in the Conservatory of Dance, a reference to the Conservatory area in Clue, and her name presumably referred to Clue character Mrs. White. Finally, Shane Simmons was killed and left on a golfcourse green, making him Mr. Green, near a "ball room" (a pun on the ball room in Clue).
