Notes
This episode is Anthony LaPaglia's first foray into
scriptwriting. The idea solidified for him during a
conversation with makeup artist Michael Mills, and after
eight months, LaPaglia presented the finished product to
producers. After a little bit of tweaking, the script
went into production. LaPaglia was inspired by a number
of real-life events, including the Scott Petersen trial,
recent news about the government wishing to extend where
oil drilling is allowed, and Joseph Kennedy grooming his
children for political careers. This episode has a
noticeably different feel to it than previous episodes
in that it features a much 'lighter' Jack Malone, and is
the first episode where the fate of the missing person
is revealed even before the opening credits. Special
billing was given to David Birney (with) and John Doman
(and) in this episode.
This episode featured a
missing person's alert for Karen Aguilar. Karen and her
young brother Jesus Jr. and older half-sister Crystal
Mendoza are believed to have been kidnapped by Jesus
Aguilar Sr. and his wife, Connie Mendoza Aguilar.
Aguilar and his wife had their parental rights
terminated by the state of Texas in 2006 after Crystal
revealed to police that her step-father had been
molesting her for many years.
