"Pulling the trigger is like... taking a deep breath of fresh air."

Suspect X was a serial killer/hitwoman who appeared in season four of CSI: NY.

Biography

It is unknown what caused her need to kill or anything about her background, not even her name. All that is known is that she is very intelligent and possessing a good knowledge of technology. She has been killing for an unknown number of years and has killed anyone from lowly college students to U.S. congressmen. She remained under the radar because of her ability to cover her tracks both physically and electronically.

Season 4

Down the Rabbit Hole

She appeared on the CSI team's radar when she kills a young girl, Cherl Miller, for access to her online avatar character, needing this identity for a hit she plans to commit later. Unfortunately for her, someone sees through her disguise and she is forced to kill him in order to preserve her identity. She later tricks the CSIs into a computer virus when the try to track her. She then proceeds to kill her target before the CSIs can stop her. Making a run for it, she (non-fatally) shoots a random pedestrian to distract the CSIs long enough for her to make her escape.

DOA for a Day

After the above events, her face, having been seen by the CSI team, is shown on every channel and her crimes are made public, thus making her public enemy number-one. As a result of the growing attention, she draws in a new client named Joseph Kirkbaum and gives him a deal: she will kill the woman harassing him, Lori Hess, if he does plastic surgery on a woman, making her look just like herself. After killing the woman Joseph does plastic surgery on, Katie Mann, she then proceeds to kill Lori before killing Joseph to eliminate loose ends. Then, she poses Katie's body for the CSI team to find. They eventually figure out her deception and stop her from killing another hit victim, Jordan Gates, at a rally. Then, they set up a sting where she is killed and they recover her client list.

Modus Operandi

She uses a wormhole to search through people's emails looking for potential clients and victims. She then meets her clients and offers a price for the kill. She then proceeds to kill her targets using a handgun, usually with a silencer attached to it. She collects her pay and moves onto the next client.
