In this throwback Dateline episode from 2015 Andrea Canning heads to a mysterious place called the Quad Cities where a missing persons report has turned into a tragic murder and nothing is as it seems. Including the fact that the Quad Cities appear to be not 4 but 5 cities. Jake joins Katie for this very special recap of WITHOUT A TRACE. A karaoke king, a military vet, a very good doggie and a childhood best friend are desperate to get the word out when Carrie Olson goes missing in the cold December rain. One of those people will show themselves to be her killer but with a little patience will be brought to justice. So let's all take a trip down to Paradise City, I mean, the Quad Cities and please don't cry when you don't know what in the world a triptych is...it's WITHOUT A TRACE!
