Read more about Lindsay Monroe at: Wikipedia Official Site: CBS Lindsay Monroe is a fictional character from the TV series CSI: NY. She is portrayed by actress Anna Belknap. Lindsay is a native of Bozeman, Montana. Her Western manners, such as removing her shoes before entering a suspect's home, are a novelty to her co-workers. Because of her roots, she is particularly sensitive about cases in which the victim comes from a small town. Ten years before her arrival in New York, she was the lone witness and survivor to a multiple homicide in which three of her friends and a waitress were killed (episode 312, "Silent Night", episode 318, "Sleight Out of Hand"). This event is what both motivates and hinders her as a CSI, as it has also left some deep scars; she finds it difficult to talk to mothers of crime victims , and is particularly rattled by the sight of young deceased girls. Upon her appearance on the show, it was revealed that Lindsay had worked as a CSI in Bozeman for three years when she was sought out by crime lab supervisor Mac Taylor to replace the recently-dismissed Aiden Burn, who was fired by Mac for tampering with evidence. While, according to Stella Bonasera, her dedication and abilities in the lab first drew Mac's notice, she has since proven herself to be not only a good CSI in the field, but also a competent interrogator. Danny called her country girl when she exhibited her daring, tomboyish side during her first day at a crime scene. When she takes down a fleeing suspect, who was much larger than her by shoving him on the side of a car, Mac jokingly asks her, "What do they feed you in Montana?" Occasionally, Lindsay has put her life on the line when she believed there was no other alternative, such as going undercover as a jewelry store robber to save the life of a hostage. During her first few weeks, because of her newcomer status, she is given the "dirty" jobs, like sifting through tiger dung, recovering evidence from a pool full of personal lubricant, and dumpster diving to recover a discarded shotgun.
