Fictional Character Biography
Sidle was born on September 16th, 1971 in Tamales Bay, an hour and a half outside San Francisco. Her father was abusive, battering both his wife and children, until Sidle's schizophrenic mother, Laura, killed him in 1984. When searching for records of the crime in Season 5, Episode 10, she searches for records from Modesto, CA. Afterward, she spent time in the foster care system, which didn't keep her from graduating high school as valedictorian at age 16. She attained a scholarship and attended Harvard, moving on to graduate school at the University of California, Berkeley. While at Berkeley, she started a work-study position at the San Francisco Coroner’s office, where she would also audit lectures to keep up with new developments; it was at one of these that she met Gil Grissom.
Some time later, while she was working in San Francisco, Grissom called her because he was in need of someone outside the Las Vegas team. Sidle then went to Las Vegas and helped resolve some internal affairs problems within the CSIs while also providing a replacement to Holly Gribbs who had been shot. Some episodes later she became a permanent member of the Las Vegas crime scene investigators night shift as a CSI Level 3 at the LVPD Criminalistics Bureau, specialising in materials and element analysis. In season eight, Sidle briefly changed from the night shift to the swing shift. In the season 10 premiere, it is revealed Sara is now married to Grissom. In the 15th episode of Season 13, Sara revealed that Grissom had split up with her.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“People without firmness of character love to make up a “fate” for themselves; that relieves them of the necessity of having their own will and of taking responsibility for themselves.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
“A biography is like a handshake down the years, that can become an arm-wrestle.”
—Richard Holmes (b. 1945)
