The Ledger

12.1 Girl Most Likely

In this episode (12.17), a teenage girl is found murdered in the laundry room of her apartment building. Green and Briscoe initially focus their investigation on a married photographer who lives in the building, and their suspicions seem confirmed when they discover a darkroom full of photographs of the girl. However, he is dismissive of their charges, and said he took the pictures of her for her yearbook, as a favor. He also gives them a clue: she had a relationship with a boy at school.

Briscoe and Green visit the school to learn more about the girl, and notice that the athletes at the school all wear a varsity jacket that matches the description of the jacket given by the building's doorman. While at the school, they learn of a website run by some students where other students can rate their peers sexually. They also learn the victim had been upset about this site, learned who was responsible for it, and turned them in to the administration. The boys responsible for the website were very upset with her, and confronted her. One of these boys, they learn, was kissing a friend of the victim's at a party that seems to have been attended by everyone involved in the case. It eventually comes out that two of the boys had attempted to coerce the victim to have sex with them at the party, but she refused, saying she was a lesbian.

This opens up a whole new angle in the case, and Cheekbones begins to believe that the victim's best friend was engaged in a lesbian relationship with the victim, and did not want this fact to come to light, so she killed her. I don't know how much this really makes sense, but whatever. Anyway, the girl eventually confesses.
