I, personally, find all the bits and pieces we get about Horatio Caine's background horribly interesting. I'm sure most, if not all, of you do too. (I certainly hope the writers don't think we've forgotten about Horatio's postponed court date concerning his parents! But that's another thread.)
So this brings me to what Horatio told Calleigh in ep 406 (Under Suspicion), about having been stabbed.
I've been tempted to try and write a fanfic about that incident; there's just one problem: I have NO idea where he was stabbed.
So I started to theorize. We all know (and love, I'm sure) that unique way Horatio stands when talking to people; always with his head turned. In fact, it's not horribly often he stands looking straight forward. So I thought, "Maybe he was stabbed in the shoulder, and now it hurts to turn his head in certain directions." After all, he did say he was stabbed "badly". (I wanted to hug him so much when he said that! Poor boy...)
Moving along, I wanted to be sure, so I asked my mom (a nurse) if a person stabbed would suffer permanently loss of mobility or strength wherever the injury occurred. She said no, it would heal eventually. However, the skin would scar, most likely permanently.
No, this post doesn't have THAT much of a point. I just think it's interesting that, somewhere, Horatio has a scar. A reeeeeally good one.
Anyone want to venture a guess or a theory as to where it might be?

Okay. It's been a while since I seen the Dresdson episodes. In one of them I thought I saw the reenactment (those memory type shots) done with him laying on the floor bleeding from the side. If someone would collebrate this I would appreciate it.

Rebecca,
VERY unfortunately, the only flashbacks with H in them are of him find Jennifer's parents, stabbed, in their house. Maybe that was what you were thinking of?

to day there has been no eloboration on either story line. I hope that they pick up both and let us see a little more of H's past in the next season.

Im glad I'm not the only one who is awaiting these details to materialise eventually. I to also thought that DC's head leaning to one side may of been to do with something about his past, maybe an accident, or injury. I guess time may tell  |

Okay...theory only here. The head tilt thing could come from hearing loss? He use to work on the bomb squad and I am sure he heard plenty of bombs go "boom." Maybe he tilts his head so he can hear better.

Here is just something that might help a little bit into Horatio Caine background (I got this off the cbs website on csi miami). Just to let you know he originally came form New York, but something happened... Here is a bit about Horatio: As a rookie cop in New York City. Horatio Caine rose quickly through the departmental ranks to become one of the yongest officers to make Homicide Detective. It was here he vowed to protect and serve, until his partner became entangled in a personal scandal. In order to salvage his partner's career, Horatio packed his belongings, transferring to a new police department in the sunny paradise of miami.
This is just a snip it of it. But I do remember when they were introducing the New York/Csi Miami you got a bit of snip of his past. But I think the writers want you to keep on wandering and watching. Plus with him turning his head I think it is his mannerism in order to hear the extra bits that might be missed when intergating the person, and to think about what is being said too...

Or maybe he got neck cramps all the time.

Agree, good theory about the bomb part.
Also found out something today watching an epi from S2. HC lost a younger brother a while ago, and also, that his sister-in-law worked in the lab. Its all these little details that when put together, really make DC's character HC so special.

Yeah good theory, because he only does it when he is talking to people Manon. |

I have always thought that 'the head tilt' had something to do with his past. I get the feeling that he is always in guard. and of course he coul tilt his head to hear better, but I think it's both. To hear better and to watch his surroundings.

I think, the injury of Horatio was only mentioned in one ep (s4, Under Suspicion), where we can find some flashbacks on what had happened in New York. Though this flashback was only very short and showed no details, it seemed to be a wound at the upper part of the body (like breast, tummy or front shoulder. That could be derived from the way he broke down (face to the ground, lying on the front-side of his body).
When you use a knife for a fight you can use it in mainly two ways:
#1 Way top-down, rising your fighting-arm and pulling him down toward your opponent with as much power as you have. Problems: the attacked person knows at once, what you wanna do and defends itself.
#2 Way bottom-up, pushing your knife right in the center upper part of the body, not much power but the attack can't be realized at once. Mostly used for attacks your opponent doesn't expect.
To sum it up: I don't agree, that Horatio is tilting his head for injury reason, but because it's a certain manner of him. It's a way to control people, to show them THAT he's listening to them. A suspect has to realize that H will always find out the truth and a victim recognizes that he has H's full attention.
