History YMMV / WithoutATrace

** Creator/ChristinaHendricks who is now well known for ''Series/MadMen'' was the missing person in the episode "Check Your Head". She kisses a girl. Nor is she the only person in this episode who became famous afterwards, which features a cameo by a certain future [[Creator/MasiOka Hiro]].
** Jack's daughter Hannah was played by Vanessa Marano, who would go on to play [[Series/SwitchedAtBirth Bay Kennish]].
** In the Season 3 finale, a woman named Paige is "missing" and she is played by Anna Belknap. Five months later, a character by the name of Linsday Monroe shows up on Series/{{CSINY}}...also played by Anna Belknap.
** Future member of the British Royal Family Creator/MeghanMarkle appears in season 7's episode Chameleon
* TearJerker: One episode ended with Malone desperately searching for a car with a possibly-dead person in it, expertly edited and backed by Moby's "One of These Mornings". See it for yourself, it's like Tuco looking for the right grave in ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly.'' This is by no means the only {{tearjerker}} though.
** The end of ''Wannabe''.

** [[PaedoHunt Robert Pratt]] from the episode "Stolen". His abducting a young boy is only discovered when his [[TheWoobie son]] runs away and alerts the authorities after having failed to rescue the boy himself. As it turns out [[spoiler: his supposed 'son' is also someone he kidnapped and he even ''killed'' another boy he abducted [[NightmareFuel because the boy fought him off]]. We [[RapeDiscretionShot thankfully don't see this happen]] but the [[NightmareFuel sound,shudder]]]].

** Season 6's premiere had a conman preying on families who had adopted children from Africa; he'd claim to be the kid's birth father and guilt the parents into surrendering the kids to him, whereupon he'd take them and sell them on the black market. He also manipulated a Sudanese war orphan into helping him by claiming that he was only stealing the children to get them back to their birth parents, the young man having lost his own mother to militants. [[spoiler:When the orphan finds out he's been had, he [[TheDogBitesBack brutally stabs the guy to death]] and the FBI quite understandably decide to look the other way]].

** "Neither Rain Nor Sleet." [[spoiler:At first there's the suspect that Rosie Diaz could have even been implied in paedophilia, but as the truth comes out, it's evident she was truly a good and caring person... Which makes her death at the hands of her brother, whom she had always tried to help for her whole life, and who (unknown to her) set up for Rosie to be suspected of children abuse just to have her foster children out of the way, even more tragic.]]

* HollywoodPudgy: One episode had, as the victim, a girl with a noticeable but reasonable amount of heft to her. Needless to say she was treated as though she were morbidly obese: she had only one friend, was constantly terrorized for her weight, and had massive self-esteem issues.
