LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT: HAYSTACK
The episode I watched was based on a kidnapping of a child named Kendell George, who was stolen from his crib. The police were called immediately by the mother who discovered the child was missing from his crib four hours after putting him to sleep. The former husband of Laura Kozlowski, Dan Kozlowski, a gambler and a drunk. After being tracked down they find that his alibi is accurate and he could not have taken Kendell.
The prime suspect is now the mother who had discarded all of Kendell’s things. After a crude and biased interview from a heartless reporter Laura Kozlowski hung herself. The DNA gathered from the crime scene proved to not be Laura’s but someone else. The forensic team tried to match the DNA to Dan and discovered he was not the father.
The police began to question Laura’s friends and Dan to find out who the biological father may be. The Detective, Elliot Stabler, found out that Laura’s former Husband was called Patty and he was very abusive. After tracking down Patty’s relative he was able to locate his mother who flatly denied that her son was involved in any kidnapping. The child was found a couple hours later clean, healthy and fed outside the fire station. Patty, who is the biological father tries to claim the baby but is assaulted by Dan. Patty sues Detective Elliot for violating his human rights and civil rights.
In the courtroom in a plea to show that he loved the Kendell from the moment of his existence he provided a sonogram. Later on Patty was convicted where it was later revealed that the only way he could have gotten the sonogram was if he stole it from the house when he kidnapped Kendell. He was found guilty of kidnapping and was convicted for eight years. Dan Kozlowski was given custody of Kendell. If I were a part of the jury I would have also convicted Patty because the DNA test and the items Patty had match what was stolen from Laura’s apartment.
