Timothy Hewitt and Carmel Owens are a duo of kidnappers responsible for the abduction and attempted murder of groom Charlie King from his bachelor party, appearing in Dude, Where's My Groom? in CSI:Miami.
Background[]
Charlie King was engaged to marry socialite Kim Hewitt, to the disapproval of her father Timothy, who resented King for being lower class and "not knowing the value of a dollar", in Hewitt's words. Kim dreamed of the perfect wedding, spectacular enough it would meet their lifestyle and the expectations of the hundreds of guests to attend. But during the bachelor party, King had gone back on his word to Kim and went to a strip club with groomsmen Jack Williams and Sean Anderson, which Kim was horrified to find out while stalking after them, along with Williams having to bail Anderson out of jail over raucous partying and room trashing at the hotel, which Timothy covered the bonds for without Kim knowing. She was devastated and called Timothy, panicking over their wedding being ruined and wondering if their life was gonna be like that together, but she would later recover herself and reserve herself to marrying King, still being in love with him. Hewitt senior wasn't so accepting; giving King a blank check, he demanded him to leave Kim for good, believing him an unfitting husband, but King refused, saying he loved her back and hoped to make everything right throughout their marriage. Still not being satisfied with the answer, Hewitt plotted to, feloniously, get rid of King to "save" his daughter, as he saw it. To his end, he bribed one of the strippers, Carmel Owens, with a cash payment to lace the drinks of King and the groomsmen with scopolamine, a volatile cartel and date rape drug that leads to disorientation and a lack of inhibition, as well as can be physically and mentally dangerous. When the drug kicked in, Owens seduced King out of the club into the back alley, where Owens was waiting to snatch him. She tossed Hewitt the keys to a car she lent, and Hewitt drove off with King, before putting him on a raft at an undisclosed location and set him out to sea, leaving him to die and be disposed of while stranded. In the meantime, because of the drug, Williams and Anderson stole a priceless painting and killed security guard Tito Sanchez, before passing out handcuffed at a found, dripping Sanchez' blood into the water.
Dude, Where's My Groom?[]
The CSIs arrest the two groomsman on suspicion, putting them in separate cars so they don't discuss their accounts to tell the police. They run tests and find the scopolamine, as well as the bail bond covered in blood and a club stamp on Anderson's hand. They find the strip club and Owens, who only admits to pouring the three men drinks. When the bail bonds are finally tracked, the CSIs find out Hewitt wrote them as well as the blank check to King, but, sneering his opinion of King's understanding of finances, he says the check "was a wedding gift". After the hotel developer is arrested for the art theft and Williams and Anderson are arrested for the security guard's death, they continue scrambling through their evidence with still no sign of King. But when they find out Owens quit her job, they catch her and don't hesitate to take her bag without a warrant to find the evidence they're looking for: the missing scopolamine. Owens admits to the spiked drinks, but doesn't remember Hewitt's name. They know it's him from Owens recalling his Southern accent. In duress in interrogation, he fully confesses his motives, how he couldn't stand what he feared King would put Kim through in both the wedding and their marriage, so he took his own liberty in making Charlie go missing. When pressed further about what Hewitt did with King, Kim is devastated King was left to die by being setting adrift on a raft. A happy ending still comes from locating King with a rescue crew and flying him back to shore, barely alive, but safe. While the two fiancés tell each other how much they love each other while King's loaded into an ambulance, Hewitt and Owens are taken into custody. Hewitt's most likely incarcerated, with Owens' status unknown due to the procedural mishandling of her charges.
Modus Operandi[]
Hewitt paid Owens to spike the drinks of King and the groomsmen with scopolamine, also known as the "Devil's Breath", a dangerous cartel and date rape drug. When they were incapacitated enough, King was brought into a back alley where Hewitt was waiting by Owens, Hewitt snatching King up immediately and Owens tossed Hewitt the keys to a car she lent for the abduction before driving off with King while disoriented on the drug. King was then set out to sea on a raft incapacitated from a location not revealed to the audience and left there to die, but Hewitt gave it up once he was had. As collateral, the drug provoked the groomsman to go on a crime spree, where they stole an original piece of art and murdered a security guard.
