History:
Joseph Quinn is a detective who transferred to
the Homicide division after being in narcotics.
Quinn takes a liking to Debra Morgan, even giving
her a C.I. to help with the Oscar Prado case.
Quinn's past is unknown and even called into
question, as Debra is pressured by Internal Affairs
agent Yuki Amado to gather evidence against him.
Quinn got the Internal Affairs case dropped, and
later confessed to Debra that the real source of the
Internal Affairs investigation was from the death of
a former partner of his and Yuki's who had a crystal
meth addiction. Quinn knew about the partner's
addiction but tried to offer private help instead of
informing his superiors. He is seen at Dexter's
wedding, despite Debra's advice to Dexter against
inviting him.
Quinn at one point is
infuriated when Dexter botches a case he worked on.
Soon afterwards, Dexter sees Quinn stealing money
from a crime scene, and Quinn attempts to buy
Dexter's friendship with expensive football tickets,
but Dexter gives them away, to Masuka. Meanwhile,
Quinn starts a relationship with Christine Hill, a
seductive reporter who takes advantage of his access
to police information. After a confidential police
lead appears in one of Hill's articles, Lt. LaGuerta
warns Quinn to be wary of any reporter who squeezes
him for confidential information over pillow talk.
Nonetheless, Quinn tells Hill about numerous police
reports (supposedly "off the record"), and she uses
this information to expose Frank Lundy's return to
Miami. Quinn breaks up with Hill after the article
about Lundy, but they soon make up. Though more
careful about what he says around her, Quinn still
defends Christine when Dexter tells her to leave
Debra alone, as Hill claims to have wanted to do a
"hero piece" on Debra. All of this leads to Quinn
developing a confrontational relationship with
Dexter. After Hill, revealed to be Trinity's
daughter, shoots herself, he is clearly distraught.
After Rita's murder he strongly suspects
Rita was really murdered by Dexter and not Trinity,
because of subtle differences in MO and because Rita
shared a kiss with the neighbor. He also believes
that Dexter was the Kyle Butler that was hanging out
with Arthur. He tracks down Trinity's son, hoping he
can identify Dexter as Kyle, but he is stopped by
the FBI and suspended by LaGuerta. Unable to
continue, Quinn hires Stan Liddy to investigate
Dexter. After a one-night stand with Debra, Quinn
repeatedly tries to get her back into bed,
eventually succeeding as the two begin to date,
until Debra discovers that Quinn was suspended by
LaGuerta for investigating Dexter, and not taking
vacation days as he had said. Liddy begins to harass
Quinn but Quinn does not wish to continue
investigating Dexter because of his romantic
feelings for his sister, Debra. Stan Liddy was
killed by Dexter in self defense. Quinn is the main
suspect because there is blood on his shoe and
numerous calls between his phone and Liddy. Dexter
makes the blood evidence on Quinn's shoe go away and
Quinn is once again a free. Quinn thanks Dexter who
plays dumb and just says "for what? Just doing my
job"
