City Homicide

Dead Weight (3x15)

Data emisji: Lis 04, 2009

Tabitha Mailer tried everything to lose weight. Her latest effort was Easyshake — a quick fix that became a quick kill when she swallowed a laced dosage. Her violent and unnecessary death leads Homicide to a small Health Food Store with a big problem. Society has long preyed on the hopes and insecurities of overweight women, but what if your loved ones are making a profit from your pain? A con man has found a way to exploit the vulnerabilities of these women but has he stooped to murder to cover his tracks? Homicide's investigation soon expands to incorporate weight-loss groups, disgruntled employees and spurned women. With money and self-image at the heart of the case, there's sure to be passion behind the murder — but is it anger or love driving the killer?
