Aiden Burn (Vanessa Ferlito) (Seasons 1- episode 202; 223): Aiden was a Brooklyn native who had the ability to adapt to new situations very quickly and had a love and drive for her job similar to that of Sara Sidle on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. She was dismissed from the team in season two, episode two ("Grand Murder At Central Station") after becoming obsessed with a rape case concerning her friend and considering planting evidence to implicate a suspect, D.J. Pratt, who had allegedly raped the same victim previously (the victim did not seek to press charges then). She did not actually plant the evidence, but broke the seal on an evidence packet containing one of Pratt's hairs. Because of this, Mac felt he had no choice but to fire her to preserve the integrity of the CSI lab. Aiden agreed with Mac's decision because she didn't know if she would resist the temptation in the future, but before leaving, managed to extract a promise from Mac that he would get Pratt for his crime. After her dismissal from the crime lab, Aiden was apparently working on getting her private investigator's license while she was trying to find evidence that would conclusively tie Pratt to the rape case. In the penultimate season two episode, "Heroes", she was lured, ambushed, and brutally murdered by Pratt and incinerated inside a stolen car after having shadowed him for months. In the heat of the moment, she left behind critical evidence that she knew would help her former colleagues close in on Pratt. Aiden's murder devastated Mac and the rest of the team, particularly Danny, to whom she was especially close (at one time, she joked that she was way out of his league).See less »
