Law & Order Extended Family (1990–2010) Online

Briscoe and Logan investigate a possible abduction of a young girl, Samantha Silver, who disappears from a crowded department when she is out shopping with her nanny. Her father is Gary Silver, a well-known Broadway producer. The case takes a major twist however when they locate the child with her mother, who claims she had taken the child because her ex-husband has been sexually molesting her. Her claim is backed up by several child protection advocates and a pediatrician's report that seems to confirm the little girl was molested. ADA Stone knows however that these types of cases are difficult to prosecute as they inevitably have to rely on the child's testimony.

Based on the Faye Yager case. For at least a decade starting in the mid 1980s, Yager facilitated non-custodial parents in kidnapping their own children and then hiding that parent and the children in another country. She seems to have been very successful at this and she claims to have helped 7,000 spouses. However, the missing children's community who have followed her cases have established that the number of women that she has actually helped are more likely to be in the hundreds. They also found that there was no conclusive evidence that the mother or child's lives were in jeopardy and it is indeed Yager and members of her group that construct false allegations against the left behind parent.

During the hearing about the accusation video tape the judge references the Claus Von Bulow case. In that case, the judge allowed evidence that was obtained by a third party with a vested interest (namely a black bag with syringes and insulin that was found by a private detective hired by the son of Von Bulow's wife, his supposed victim, who wanted Von Bulow incarcerated). This decision was highly controversial and has lead many to question whether Von Bulow did in fact kill his wife.
