At one point, Colin Barnes (played by Eric Close) rages that if the SVU team isn't capable of finding his missing daughter, perhaps they should turn the case over to the FBI. In "Without a Trace", Eric Close played an FBI agent who was a member of the missing persons team.
James Van Der Beek also played a sociopathic character named Sean in the film adaptation of The Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis. He plays Sean Bateman, the younger brother of Patrick Bateman, played by Christian Bale in the film adaptation, from Ellis' previous and somewhat connected book American Psycho.
Though the characters played by Close and Van Der Beek went to medical school together, Close and Van Der Beek are 10 years apart in age.
In Без следа: Rise and Fall (2008) Eric Close handled the case of Ariana Murphy played by Kelli Giddish.
Tina Benko (Grace Avery) previously played the role of Mrs. Panacek in episode 1.1, Закон и порядок: Специальный корпус: Payback (1999).
This episode mentions GSA (Genetic Sexual Attraction). Even though the young women are thought to be participating in GSA, in actuality they didn't.
