5.05?: Wunderkind

[samanda]

Awaiting more info...

The title already stumps me.

Think about child prodigies (i.e. Bobby Fischer) I am hoping it would be an old case

It's a 2002 case. The victim is a 14 year old boy named Terrance, from a rough neighborhood in North Philly. He is a wunderkind with numbers-his specialty is counting cards, a skill I imagine makes him some enemies.

Thanks for the info, anything on Lilly?

Hello

This sounds interesting. And Again a german word for the title.

From what I can tell this is another episode that focuses more on the case than the detectives' personal lives. I think Jeffries develops a real sympathy for the victim-probably because they were both neglected children from the same neighborhood. But that's all I can figure out. I haven't read the whole episode; I almost never do.
