This kidnapping story closely resembles the real life 1968 kidnapping of Tali Shapiro by Rodney Alcala.
The white over gold Mustang makes its appearance in the parking lot just after Malloy arrests the rape suspect.
One of the few instances when in active pursuit of a suspect, Malloy is on foot running, while Reed is behind the wheel of the police cruiser.
This includes the longest foot pursuit of the series.
