Ausstrahlung: Jun 25, 1999

Adi Asimovic knocks on Maxine's door in the middle of the night. His daughter Vildana has not returned home, he is frantic, hoping she is staying with Simone at Maxine's house. Realising both daughters are missing, Maxine plays a phone message back, hearing an hysterical cry for help. Bill and Charlie locate the cab driver that picked up the girls that night and after much questioning, they find out the description of a car that was in the area. The investigation takes a sharp turn, when it turns out the brother of the owner of the car is a man with a prison record for sexual assault and malicious wounding. Bill and Charlie go on a hunch and track down the suspects, Troy and Gavin Cunningham. News comes of the discovery of the body of a young woman—Bill and Charlie rush to the crime scene reluctantly with Maxine and Adi in tow—they find Simone's handbag and ID. But the body is Vildana's. Maxine's nightmare has just begun, realising that her daughter has most likely suffered a similar fate. Bill breaks all the rules to make the suspects reveal where Simone is. He is obstructed by Troy's loyalty to his older brother Gavin who has absconded. Bill senses that Gavin killed Vildana, maybe Simone as well. Bill and Charlie go to extraordinary measures to obtain a confession and try to get Gavin to concede the whereabouts of Simone.
