What is D.B. Russell's granddaughter's name?

The story behind the answer

D.B. Russell’s granddaughter is named Kaitlyn.

Kaitlyn Russell is part of the extended Russell family introduced after Ted Danson’s D.B. Russell becomes a central character on CSI. D.B. is married to Barbara and has four children, as well as Kaitlyn, who is identified as his granddaughter.

Kaitlyn becomes especially important in the season 13 premiere, “Karma to Burn,” when she is kidnapped as part of a storyline involving Jeffrey McKeen. Her disappearance gives the Russell family’s background a direct effect on the crime-lab team’s work.

Megan, Ellie, and Lindsey are plausible distractors because CSI contains several recurring young relatives and family members. Lindsey Willows, for example, is Catherine Willows’s daughter, not D.B. Russell’s granddaughter. Kaitlyn is the specific family connection asked for here.
