STELLA AND THE TEAM HUNT FOR A CENTRAL PARK RAPIST WHILE ALSO FOLLOWING THE TRAIL OF AN EVIDENCE-SWALLOWING RAT, ON A REBROADCAST OF "CSI: NY," WEDNESDAY, DEC. 22

"Creatures of the Night" -- When a woman is raped in Central Park, Stella's mission to find the attacker is hindered, as the victim has no memory of the assault, on a rebroadcast of CSI: NY, Wednesday, Dec. 22 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Tim Hunter directed the episode written by the series' co-executive producer Pam Veasey. (Originally broadcast 9/29/04)

Despite the abundant evidence at the crime scene, the detectives can't connect a suspect to the rape, frustrating Stella, who commits herself to nailing the attacker. Meanwhile, Mac and Aiden must track down an evidence-swallowing rat when they investigate the shooting murder of a drug dealer. After inspecting the body, Dr. Hawkes discovers that not only is the bullet missing, but that the victim has rat footprints and bites on his body. Now the team needs to find one rat in a city with 70 million of them in order to gather the evidence that will lead them to the murderer.
