StolenEpisode: 03x03 (Season 03 Episode #03) Originally Aired: Oct. 12, 2001 Plot: When a baby is stolen from her mother in a grocery store, Detectives Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Stabler (Christopher Meloni) soon discover that the kidnapping is only the tip of the iceberg in a baby snatching and selling scheme. The detectives are led to private adoption lawyer Mark Sanford (guest star Bruce Altman, "Nothing Sacred") who had brokered an adoption over ten years ago of a child kidnapped from his mother who was murdered. Captain Cragen (Dann Florek) renews his pursuit of the case, opening old wounds with the parents of the murdered woman (Celia Weston, "The Talented Mr. Ripley," and John Seitz), and creating new wounds with the adoptive family and biological father of the long-ago stolen child. Cragen and A.D.A. Cabot (Stephanie March) struggle to serve the best interests of the child while seeking justice in a complex case. |
