unwanted advances and fled, thinking him dead. Though both Maxine and Natalia were suspected for the crime, Nick was in fact killed by a man whose wife had committed a murder Nick had worked that day. The man's name was Jeff Murdock and Lauren Sloan was his wife. Nick had taken Lauren's earring from the crime scene and was bludgeoned to death when he taunted Jeff and refused to return it. Criminals Stewart Otis (William O'Leary, season 1): Stewart is a registered pedophile with a long record starting at age twelve. He has been in and out of prison for years and as a forensic countermeasure, he cut off his fingerprints and put them back on in a different arrangement, so that if his prints ever did come up at a crime scene they wouldn't register in the system. He has shown to be doing this a long time as he avoids cameras with ease and is very calculating. Clavo Cruz (Gonzalo Menendez, seasons 2–3, 5): In season 2, Clavo started out as an arrogant criminal who killed a model with his Lamborghini to protect his brother Ramon, who had accidentally drowned the model's roommate (#201 – "Blood Brothers"). When the team tried to arrest Clavo, it was revealed that the brothers' father was General Antonio Cruz, an ambassador from the Baracas, an area which was under diplomatic immunity from the United States. Therefore, they could neither arrest Clavo nor could they use any of his possessions as evidence. His older brother (Ramon) was able to be arrested, as the woman he drowned was on Canadian soil (the Canadian Embassy), had Canadian blood, and because he flew the Bahamian flag in international waters, leaving him unprotected and arrestable in the Bahamas. Clavo reappears in season 3 after being traced to the murder of a woman who was found after being swallowed and then regurgitated from a boa constrictor (#315 – "Identity"). He continues to taunt Caine, using the line "We never close", a line Caine had spoken after arresting Ramon. A blood test of General Cruz, the alleged father of Ramon and Clavo, revealed that although Clavo and Ramon had the same mother, Dona Marta Cruz, they had different fathers, making Clavo an adoptive son of General Cruz. When Caine reveals Marta's infidelity to the family, the General becomes infuriated. Caine then reminds the General that he can disown Clavo
