Mariska Hargitay is not in this episode but after first partnering with Richard Belzer, Christopher Meloni teams up with fingerprint technician Paula Garces who apparently has aspirations to be a detective. She's been interested in four Hispanic youths who disappeared after playing baseball in a park in 1978, a case her father was involved in as a cop.
In a quarry being excavated a body of a Hispanic youth is discovered and it's one of the four youths. Still another crime from that same era could be linked to it, a notorious case where no identification was ever made of another Hispanic youth found in a cardboard box that was buried.
These cases are definitely among some of the coldest that SVU ever worked on. But Meloni does solve it. I guess sometimes it takes a fresh pair of eyes and mind seeing and evaluating the evidence.
