My name is Todd Coombs. I raped and murdered Emma Dobbins and Linley Parker. There are more, but we'll talk about those later.

~ Coombs' confession
Dr. Todd Coombs is the main antagonist of the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation fourth season finale "Bloodlines". Coombs is a serial killer and rapist of women who eludes the CSIs multiple times, most due to his DNA results from being born with chimerism.
He's portrayed by George Newbern, who also portrayed Steven Baleman in Criminal Minds, Roger Gardner in Ghost Whisperer, and Arthur Haskell in NCIS.
Coombs was a practicing psychiatrist, married a woman named Crystal, and had an extensive family of multiple brothers. His brothers Larry and Roger worked in car restoration, another brother Bailey worked in private security, and his most destitute brother Kevin lives off the grid as a metalwork artist, supplied with scraps by Larry and Roger. Coombs had a twin, but he developed tetragametic chimerism from absorbing his twin in utero, which resulted in two different sets of DNA in his body. This would prove to be fatal for Coombs' youngest brother Joss, who needed a blood donation for his leukemia and, because Coombs provided a blood donation that didn't match, died from the cancer.
Coombs buried for years that he raped and killed women for his own pleasure, running them off the road and punching them once the were out of their cars to shake them up. Coombs then raped them and strangled them with their stockings. Linley Parker narrowly avoided being slaughter by Coombs by kicking him in the crotch after he raped her. She fled and was found near-death on a road, taken swiftly to the hospital to recover. Linley provided a full description of the attack, accurately described Coombs for a sketch, and gave some numbers form his license plate. When he was identified, Linley conclusively identified him from a lineup. However, his saliva's DNA didn't match the semen he left behind, so he was released. Coombs later jumped Linley in her car, smashing her window to kidnap her. He raped her again and strangled her, leaving her in an abandoned lot.
Coombs was hoping Kevin would be framed, and he make sure the CSIs didn't get to his car while he was vacuuming it. However, his hair was on Linley, which put him at the scene of her murder. He was detained and his body photographed, Coombs trying to explain away the injuries he got from fighting Linley. DNA from Linley's attack and eventual murder had also previously shown up in the rape and murder of Emma Dobbins, but specifically from matching semen samples. In addition, Todd's blood was on the broken glass in Linley's car window, which indeed matched the semen samples. It was distinct birthmarks on Coombs' back that revealed his condition, and when a warrant was executed to draw his blood, both his DNA results match the murders of the two women. Coombs coldly confessed on video in interrogation, eventually confessing to murdering more women in video that wasn't shown in the episode. He was later incarcerated.
Quotes[]
“
Brass: How'd you pick your victims? Coombs: They picked me. Brass: You never met Emma Dobbins or Linley Parker. Coombs: I didn't have to meet 'em. You go to a bar, you see an attractive woman, make your move, she shoots you down. You go home, you mastսrbatе. You get on with it. But when I see a woman who arouses me...the whole world disappears...except for her. She can't say no.

~ Coombs
Trivia[]
Coombs is inspired by Arthur Bomar, a serial killer best known for the murder of Aimee Willard.
