Da Vinci’s Inquest - Season 5 Episode 12

Laura Maitland ends up killing a man in the garage of her apartment building, the man who she claims is her stalker. However, her story is taken with a grain of salt as Kurtz has found out that she has a history of mental illness, which is consistent with the the fact that her stories to date have had a sense of unreality. The deceased is Daniel Cousins, a resident of the building. She also reports that he had an accomplice who managed to get away. In their investigation, Leary and Shannon discover that Cousins was a pretty straight-laced individual with a couple of what would be considered regular or common indiscretions. But they still have to consider that Maitland actually is telling the truth. Elsewhere, Paul Risi reports a dead body amongst the bramble in the yard of a house he tends. Risi pleads ignorance of the body or the house, but slowly he divulges information, first of which that the house contains a grow-op. In the end, Da Vinci surmises that the deceased and the house had no connection whatsoever. Meanwhile, Curtis blackmails Pierce to not support the red light district publicly. And Taylor brings forward her two witnesses in the escort investigation, the two who want to report Curtis' sexual indiscretions toward them. Kosmo isn't quite sure what yet to do with this information.
