Crave’s Crime Scene Investigators returns Monday, June 9, with a case that looks like an open-and-shut burglary—until it isn’t. In A Burglary Gone Bad (Season 1, Episode 8), detectives walk into what appears to be a straightforward robbery: 28-year-old Cathy Marlow found dead in her office bathroom, purse missing, six company laptops gone. But as the forensic team gets to work, the easy narrative starts to fray.
CSI distinguishes itself by making the science the star. The series leans hard into the visual—think blood spatter, shell casings, bio-markers, digital fingerprints—building a puzzle that investigators must assemble, piece by piece, to identify the killer. Each hour becomes a question: can every scrap of evidence at the scene point towards a murderer?
In this episode, that puzzle is particularly tricky. While the initial read suggests a robbery gone wrong, the forensic deep dive reveals details that don’t quite fit. What begins as a property crime starts to look more calculated, raising the stakes—and expanding the pool of suspects.
Crime Scene Investigators continues to deliver tightly structured true crime that emphasizes process over personality—making it catnip for viewers who like their mysteries served with a side of hard evidence.
Crime Scene Investigators: A Burglary Gone Bad is available for streaming Monday, June 9 on Crave.
