Sidle was born on September 16, 1971, in Tomales Bay, an hour and a half north of San Francisco. Her father was abusive, alcoholic until Sidle's schizophrenic mother, Laura, killed him, in 1984. When searching for records of the crime in the Season 5 episode "No Humans Involved," she searches for records from Modesto. Afterward, she spent time in the foster care system, which didn't keep her from graduating high school as valedictorian at age 16. She attended Harvard on a scholarship, 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.
