(beep) beckett. (siren wailing) (man) all workers, please clear the construction site. why can't they find bodies between 9:00 and 5:00? well, early bird gets the collar. yeah. (police radio chatter) he was here before i was. oh! finally, you are here. you are gonna love this. (power tools whirring) (ryan) come on, show's over! active crime scene. we appreciate your cooperation. awesome, right? my first cold case. come on, it's a little funny. not so much funny as true. she's frozen solid. what was the temperature last night? mid-40s. it wasn't exposure. site's active. the boys tell me there's no way she was here last night. (groans) (camera shutter clicking) (beckett) she's melting.

maybe we should be looking for ruby slippers. yeah, while you're at it, why don't you look for some flying monkeys? maybe they left her here. so what do you got for me? there are pieces of plastic on her body from the garment bag. so she was inside the bag? mm-hmm. other than that, it's gonna take a while for her to thaw. i can tell you she hasn't been here long. maybe a couple of hours. what about security? chain-link. pair of bolt cutters took care of that. looks like our guy was hoping she'd disappear into the concrete pour. (esposito) a few more feet, and she would've. it's kind of odd-- taking the trouble to freeze a body and then dumping it? we got two personality types working here. a killer who freezes a body is a keeper--he wants a souvenir. but a guy who dumps a body? doesn't want to be reminded of the crime. all right, i'm gonna go check out the fence. (man) mm-hmm. get a close-up of her face. i want to run her through missing persons. oh, cool, like on the discovery channel, where you plug the photo into facial recognition databases? yeah, just like that. yes!

(thud) welcome to the department's official facial recognition database. by hand? that's like life before tivo. maybe you could download an app on that phone of yours. you could just-- (laughs) there are a lot of missing people. one way or another, we eventually find 'em. some end up dead, some turn up in a double-wide with a stripper named trixie outside atlantic city. and some just don't turn up. dana sullivan. mm-hmm. her and her boyfriend leave a club. he's a couple steps behind her 'cause he gets a call on his cell phone. she turns a corner just a few seconds before he does. and when he comes around, she's gone. street's totally empty-- no traffic, no nothing. in a matter of 3 feet, she literally just disappeared. (blows air) people don't disappear off the face of the earth. sure they do. quantum physics, alien abductions, schrodinger's cat. one minute, you're getting a hot dog in the park. the next, you're fighting off sleestaks on the far side of a dimensional rift. i don't buy it. there's got to be an explanation.

a story that makes everything make sense. okay, castle, what's our jane doe's story? well, i don't know how it starts, but i know how it ends-- frozen at a construction site. so flying monkeys aside, what's the first question? how did she get there? considering she was frozen solid, she had to have been kept pretty close. not necessarily. here is the site. her body might not have been kept as close as you might think. it takes a long time for a frozen body to thaw. what, you, uh, freeze a body once for one of your books? no, but i cooked a turkey for thanksgiving. it was a 28-pounder. it took all night to unfreeze. she's a person, castle, not a turkey. just making a point.

turns out c.o.d. was blunt-force trauma to her head. how'd you get her i.d.? her fingerprints were in the system. for? misdemeanor drug possession. she doesn't look like a junkie. no, she's in pretty good shape, considering. but judging the lack of frost and tissue degeneration, i'd say wherever she was stored, the temperature rarely varied. like a freezer. freezer'd do the job. how long has she been dead? well, considering how long she's been like this, factoring decomposition, i'd say she probably was frozen within 24 hours of being killed. what do you mean, "how long she's been like this"? according to the records i pulled, this woman has been missing for over five years. ♪ captioned by closed captioning services, inc.
