About The Show
WITHOUT A TRACE is a riveting procedural drama about the New
York Missing Persons Squad of the FBI. The sole responsibility
of the special task force is to find missing persons by
applying advanced psychological profiling techniques to peel
back the layers of the victims' lives and trace their
whereabouts in an effort to discover whether they have been
abducted, been murdered, committed suicide or simply run away.
The team reconstructs a "Day of Disappearance" timeline that
details every minute of the 24 hours prior to the
disappearance and digs into every facet of the victim's life,
following one simple rule: learn who the victim is in order to
learn where the victim is. Senior agent Jack Malone (Anthony
LaPaglia), a tough but compassionate, seasoned and astute
professional, 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
blonde good looks belie a tough, complex approach to her work;
Vivian Johnson (Marianne Jean-Baptiste), a no-nonsense
investigator with a special insight into victims' families;
Danny Taylor (Enrique Murciano), whose sensitivity is often
covered up by his street smarts, and the strait-laced Martin
Fitzgerald (Eric Close), who joined the team as a result of
his father's connections but has since earned his stripes. As
the agents work on varied and complicated cases, details about
their own lives continue to unfold.
