THE TEAM SEARCHES FOR A STRUGGLING YOUNG SINGLE MOTHER WHO VANISHES AFTER LEAVING HER 3-YEAR-OLD SON IN HIS BABYSITTER'S CARE, IN PART ONE OF A TWO-PART EPISODE OF "WITHOUT A TRACE," TO BE REBROADCAST THURSDAY, JULY 21

"Nickel and Dimed -- Part 1" -- The team investigates when a young, struggling single mother disappears after imploring her 3-year-old son's babysitter to watch him as a last-minute favor, in part one of a two-part rebroadcast of WITHOUT A TRACE, Thursday, July 21 10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Martha Mitchell directed the episode written by David Amann. (Originally broadcast 11/4/04)

Though none of the acquaintances of the missing Colleen McGrath seem to know a great deal about Colleen's life, the team soon pieces together a profile of a loving mother who, despite working two jobs as a housecleaner and a retail-outlet clerk, has been barely able to afford her motel room or the babysitter. At first, Martin wonders if Colleen has simply run away from her troubles. However, further revelations about Colleen's nervous demeanor on the day of her disappearance, her suspicious short-lived windfall the week prior, allegations of illegal activities in her motel room, and a disclosure that Colleen had suddenly felt uneasy about cleaning for her current employer, leads the team to question how clean a life she's been living -- and if she's been victimized.
