Cold Case

[claudio_carvalho · 8/10 · 2 August 2023]

While driving dangerously on the road for fun, three young drunken women hit their car off road on Janet Marie Marsh to avoid an accident. Capt. Brass recalls her cold case, when her family (husband Mike, daughter Emily and son Andy) had mysteriously gone missing and she is still searching for them in the desert. When the CSI find Janet's flashlight in the desert, they find Andy's DNA on the flashlight and Janet becomes the prime suspect. Now the case is reopened and the CSI investigators look for new evidences.

"Lost & Found" is an episode of "CSI" with a sad story of betrayal. The poor Mrs. Janet spends three years of her life looking for her family and when she discovers part of what has happened, takes a hasty attitude that will send her to prison. Why Emily is not arrested in another unexplained point. Anyway, the episode is good. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Lost & Found"

A Lot of Pain and Irrationality

This is quite a tour de force of disgusting behavior. It is the tale of a woman, struck by a car, driven by three drunken girls, who roams the highways and streets, looking for her children, who disappeared years before. Brass was involved in the case. But what unfolds is a sick story of betrayal. It also features some pretty broken people. Kind of sick.

Ummmmmm.....

You must not read the papers much, as it seems like sick and twisted stories like this occur almost every day.

Also, you may want to go back and re-watch the episode again, as I'm pretty sure that daddy is also the father of her baby. In that light, it makes his motivation much more understandable (or at least realistic). Including the whole pedophilia part.

Granted, this was one of the stranger episodes, not from a "heebie-jeebie" standpoint, but trying to follow the plot as things moved at 100 miles an hour. I couldn't figure out who the father was for a minute.

I liked mainly because it was a "Captain Brass" episode.

The writers should be fired! Horrible.

I'm a big fan of CSI but this episode was pathetic. What kind of father would have done what we're expected to believe this character did? He comes home to find out that his teen aged daughter has killed her little brother, that she's been raped by her uncle (his brother in law) and is pregnant by the creep, and what does this father do? He puts his son's body into a foot locker in the garage, stages their disappearance and sets up housekeeping in another town where he pretends to be her husband? Ludicrous. I'm all for suspension of disbelief for entertainment but c'mon! First things first, he'd want to kill the brother in law, or at the very least turn him in. No self respecting father would just let that pedophile off scott free. Why wouldn't he call the cops to report his son's death? It was an accident by a traumatized teen who had just been raped. She wouldn't have done any time and again, pedophile bro in law goes to jail. And playing house in Reno acting like his daughter's husband is seriously creepy. They had changed their names, assumed new identities, why not just say he's her father in the new life? Sad, sad, sad and lazy writing. Did the writers take a vacation and leave some daytime soap wannabe writer to take the reins? My husband and I could write better than this poor rip off of an episode of Maury. We were incredulous at how low this great show has sunk. Just horrible.

Emily Marsh should have done time. Maybe not much, but certainly SOME time.

Emily had it rough, no doubt. Raped and impregnated by her uncle and too estranged from her mother to report it. Awful indeed. But nothing she experienced excuses her for caving in her brother's skull with a flashlight. It may have been in a hysterical panic, but it wasn't an accident. She swung the flashlight directly at his head, screaming for him to shut up. She should have given birth behind bars. Little Andy got no justice whatsoever. And to think, earlier in the episode, Langston and the ME were saying the murderer of a child should be tortured and executed. But since the perpetrator was helpless, distraught little Emily, the murder of an innocent young boy is supposed to be somehow excusable.

Horrid episode.
