~ Stuckey bragging about his crimes. |
Dale Stuckey is a major antagonist in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit who worked as a crime scene technician. He serves as the main antagonist of the Season 10 finale "Zebras".
He was portrayed by Noel Fisher, who also portrayed Jason Wheeler in Criminal Minds.
Biography[]
Stuckey is introduced as comic relief, an inept crime scene investigator who makes inappropriate remarks at crime scenes investigated by the detectives of the NYPD's Special Victims Unit; he particularly annoys Detective Elliot Stabler with his catchphrase, "Bing Bang Bong!", uttered at extremely inappropriate moments during rape/homicide investigations.
In the finale of the tenth season finale, "Zebras", the SVU squad investigates the murder of a woman named Rachel Nauss. Evidence proves that a man named Peter Harrison is responsible for her murder, but after Stuckey makes an error on the paperwork, Judge Elizabeth Donnelly rules that the murder weapon is inadmissible as evidence, leaving her no choice but to dismiss the murder charges against Harrison. Enraged, Stuckey curses and threatens Donnelly until the bailiff throws him out of the courtroom.
After the charges are dismissed, Stuckey attempts to frame Harrison by murdering a woman named Annie May Lawson and planting a soda can with Harrison's bloody fingerprint on it. He later kills Harrison's lawyer, Julia Zimmer, by plating a homemade bomb in her car and remotely detonating it. Stuckey then goes after Donnelly, hiding a syringe filled with potassium chloride in an armchair in her house; Donnelly collapses after sitting on the syringe, but Stabler and his partner, Detective Olivia Benson, are able to get her to a hospital in time to save her.
When a dead mosquito is discovered in Julia Zimmer's car, CSU Technician Ryan O'Halloran extracts a blood sample from it and informs Stabler about it. Soon afterward, however, Stuckey kills Halloran by stabbing him in the chest. When Stabler stops by the forensics lab to get the results from the blood sample, Stuckey knocks him out from behind. Then, Stabler's cell phone then rings with a call from Benson and Stuckey answers, saying that Stabler went out for sushi and left his phone behind. Knowing that Stabler hates sushi, Benson deduces that Stuckey has kidnapped him.
When Stabler regains consciousness, he finds himself tied to a chair and Stuckey starts slashing his torso with a knife. Stuckey admits to Stabler that he murdered Annie May Lawson at Coney Island in order to frame Harrison, and that he attacked Julia Zimmer and Donnelly for embarrassing him in court.
When Benson arrives at the scene and sees what is going on, Stuckey holds her at gunpoint, but she tricks Stuckey by convincing him that she hates Stabler and loves him. When Benson kisses Stuckey to distract him, Stabler kicks him from behind, which allows Benson to knock him out and free Stabler.
After his arrest, Stuckey is sentenced to life in prison without parole.
