A Case with a Goddess (with techygoddess)
So far, Horatio Caine was impressed by Skuld's deductive prowess: the goddess had been able to correctly identify the animals present in a putrefied body and deduced the cause of death for a victim she had picked out at random. The facts were these: Jaden Whitmore, age 17, had been preliminarily declared a boating accident. But the theory was based solely on eyewitness accounts that saw him on a boat ride with Richard Draven, son of the boat's owner, and Peter Osborne. "So far so good," Skuld had also made a keen observation without much so much as a hint: he had been poisoned.
The blood alcohol level had been .23 but both knew that it was nowhere near enough to cause alcohol poisoning. "No, that's how they got it into him," she held out her hand out as if feeling a thread from the body, she can't read too far into the past, only about five minutes of a person's life, but she's hoping it's enough.
"They drugged him,", she tilts her head a little, " laced the bourbon he was drinking with foxglove. It may not show up on the tox screen. Though there is PCP in it as well, they were smoking it." Skuld then opened her eyes and looked at the lieutenant. "I'm sorry I can't see the reason why. Not unless I had them in the same room then I might be able to pick it up."
"I'll bring them in for questioning."
