[edit] Plot summary

In this episode, Detectives Goren and Eames investigate the case of an airport baggage supervisor found murdered in the trunk of her car.

During the investigation, the detectives probe the woman's complaints of sexual harassment on her job, prompting them to interrogate her co-workers about their reasons for distrusting her.

Finally, Goren and Eames uncover evidence of an operation that could well have been enough reason to silence the victim, which leads them to a scam involving credit cards and credit reports with foreign links.

[edit] Fact

• Interestingly, this episode revealed many resemblances with the case of Susan Taraskiewicz, who was last seen on September 13, 1992 when she left Logan International Airport. Thirty hours later, her body was found inside the trunk of her car outside an auto body shop in Revere, Massachusetts. After an FBI team declared that the murder required two or three people, the investigation focused upon Northwest Airlines workers who had sexually harassed and physically threatened Taraskiewicz, who was a ramp supervisor. The same workers were engaged in a credit card theft ring, and before her death, at least one of them had claimed to others that Taraskiewicz was a snitch. Nevertheless, more than 15 years later her murder remains unsolved.
