This compelling episode of Dragnet follows Sergeant Joe Friday and his partner Ben Romero as they unravel the mysterious disappearance of Juanita Lasky, a young woman who vanished from her Los Angeles residence just weeks before Christmas. With no immediate clues, the investigation takes them from her hotel room to a series of dead ends, including a missing handbag in Pomona and a job application at an Army airbase in Riverside.
As the days pass, tension mounts, and hope begins to fade. The detectives piece together Juanita’s movements and finally locate her in an unexpected turn of events. Suffering from temporary amnesia, Juanita had wandered for nearly two weeks, her memories lost in the haze of her condition.
Set against the backdrop of a bustling holiday season, this case highlights the painstaking work of the LAPD’s Missing Persons Unit and the emotional stakes involved in finding a loved one.
