- Synopsis
- TV Series (2002-2009). Rated the # 2 new drama of the 2002-2003 season, Without a Trace won two Emmy Awards during its debut season and a Golden Globe Award in 2004. Gripping and fast-paced, the series focuses on the Missing Persons Squad of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. By applying advanced psychological profiling techniques, the special task force is able to peel back the layers of the victims' lives and trace their whereabouts in order to determine if the missing person has been abducted, murdered, committed suicide or has simply run away. The team reconstructs a "Day of Disappearance" timeline that details every minute of the 24 hours prior to the disappearance, following one simple rule: learn who the victim is in order to learn where the victim is.
The show's talented ensemble cast includes Anthony LaPaglia, who earned a Golden Globe Award for his role as senior agent Jack Malone. Malone heads the dedicated team that knows too well that every second counts when someone vanishes. His squad includes Samantha Spade (Poppy Montgomery), an agent whose good looks belie a tough, complex approach to her work; Vivian Johnson (Marianne Jean-Baptiste), a no-nonsense investigator; Danny Taylor (Enrique Murciano) an intense and private agent; and Martin Fitzgerald (Eric Close), the newest member of the team, considered a lightweight by the squad because his only experience involves fighting white-collar crime.-

-
You don't get the same kind of fun, gizmo fascination that livens up 'CSI'. But you also don't get the leaden, expositionary dialogue 'CSI' uses to explain those gizmos"
-
"This is essentially CSI without the microscopes, petri dishes or Marg Helgenberger. Yawn."
-
"A show that does what it's supposed to do -- keep you riveted and entertained"
-
"An engaging and resonant adult drama"
-
"Without a Trace uses the gimmick of having the missing person drop in and out of scenes like a ghost as the agents ponder evidence. The device sounds hokey; the way it works, it's stylish and involving"
-
"It commands attention without being heavy-handed and serves up characters who seamlessly and effectively blend into the hour's compelling framework"
