"American Dreamers" -- When a tourist discovers a skeleton on a Times Square double-decker tour bus, the CSIs must investigate whether the remains were left there as a practical joke or if the person was murdered, on a rebroadcast of CSI: NY, Wednesday, Dec. 29 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Rob Bailey directed the episode written by Eli Talbert, one of the series' producers. (Originally broadcast 10/6/04)

After closely examining the remains, Dr. Hawkes discovers that the victim was likely a Caucasian male teenager who died from a blow to the head more than 10 years ago. Their search leads them to a bus station and a missing boy who disappeared in 1987. The team must then piece together the clues to find out how the boy really died and who was to blame.
