Storyline

As any detective can tell you, investigating missing property or deaths is comparatively easy compared to elusive missing people. However in New York City, there is a special unit of the FBI that is designed to find them. Using the vast resources of their bureau, the team, lead by Agent Jack Malone, race against time in the tight 72 hour window after a disappearance while hope for a recovery is still typically possible.

Goofs

Factual errors: In more than one instance, suspects being interviewed with a polygraph answer all the control questions (Is your name John Doe? Are you 39?) truthfully. In reality, a suspect is told to answer all the control questions "yes", whether true or not, to determine the accuracy of the polygraph machine. See more »

Quotes

Jack Malone: I meant what I said before, Graham. You care about these kids. That's why you took Andy under your wing. He was confused, vulnerable. You were the only one who understood him.
Graham Spaulding: Is that right?
Jack Malone: I think so. But then he turned on you, didn't he? I know how that feels. Know how... painful that can be. You pour yourself into someone - your time, energy, and devotion. You give them everything they need to grow and then they just abandon you.
Graham Spaulding: Are you speaking from experience?
Jack Malone: Sure. You love someone... you make love to someone... you give your life to them and then they don't even look at you.

Crazy Credits

Amongst the opening credits, for a brief moment the words "Amber Alert" are
flashed on the screen. The Amber Alert system was formally inaugurated in
the state of California, July 31, 2002. It drew both national and
international recognition in its success in aiding authorities in their
search for abducted children. In less than one year, the California
Amber Alert system has been credited with aiding in the rescue of over a
dozen children. The intial system was formulated in Texas in 1996, and is
named after 9-year-old Amber Hagerman who was kidnapped and murdered. As of
April 10, 2003 a bill creating a national Amber Alert system has passed in
the House of Representitives, and unanimously approved in the Senate.
"Without A Trace" (2002) aired its first episode shortly after a summer
littered with nationally covered child kidnappings including the famous
Elizabeth Smart abduction. The show aired Elizabeth's profile following its
November 21, 2002 episode, In Extrimis. All Profiles are chosen by the FBI,
not the show's producers. See more »
