David Hodges is a fan of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
David is employed by the Las Vegas Crime Lab.He is a specialist in trace evidence.
He is both intelligent and arrogant.He is annoying to a lot of the team.He has a sarcastic and morbid sense of humor during investigations, which he says is a defense mechanism.In Play Dead, Julie describes him as an awkward Jimmy Stewart.
He tries to ingratiate himself to the other person.He initially accepted Raymond Langston as a member of the CSI team even though he was devastated by the fact that he had left the lab.
He doesn't want to be in a relationship because it would undermine his commitment to the lab.
A person has a sense of smell.He used to be able to detect a "woodsy" scent in a bleach, but it turned out that the bleach was mixed with cedar chips.The first thing that impressed him was smelling the bleach.
When he analyzed trace from a competitive eater who had died after eating hot dogs, he had to put a clothespin on his nose because of his sense of smell.Dog eat dog.
He helped Dr. Al Robbins identify the presence of cyanide using his sense of smell, proving that he has the necessary genetic makeup to detect it.He can point the team in the right direction in The Theory of Everything by detecting that a squirrel has been killed with cyanide.
The junior Lab Techs give insight into the case.The crime scenes have a common factor: bleach.The killer is triggered by the substance and "forgives" the person who invaded his office.
He used to love watching the hamsters spin on their wheels.He came home one day and the hamsters were gone.Dog eat dog.
