THE TEAM SEARCHES FOR A COMPETITIVE EATING CHAMPION WHO DISAPPEARS AFTER WINNING A CHILI EATING CONTEST, ON "WITHOUT A TRACE," SUNDAY, JAN. 14, 10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT

"Eating Away" -- The team searches for a competitive eating champion who vanishes after winning a $5,000 prize in a chili eating contest, on WITHOUT A TRACE, Sunday, Jan. 14 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Martha Mitchell directed the episode written by David H. Goodman, one of the series' supervising producers, and Alicia Kirk.

Barry Rosen disappears after his doctor gives him the sobering news that he'll need to stop eating competitively or he'll die of a heart-attack or stroke, and before hearing the test results that say Barry's post-contest collapse was a result of being poisoned with bleach. As the team begins to question his competitors, they also investigate why Barry attacked his brother with a knife days before the contest. Meanwhile, Danny is conflicted when his friend Carlos, who is Elena's daughter's father, asks Danny to write a letter on his behalf for his upcoming custody hearing with Elena.
