Without a Trace
1983, English. Directed by Stanley R. Jaffe.
One morning, Alex Selky got dressed, waved goodbye to his mother, set off for school and disappeared.
English professor Susan Selky lives alone in a Brooklyn apartment with her young son, Alex. When Alex fails to return home from school one afternoon, a frantic Selky contacts the police. Detective Al Menetti, a father himself, takes an interest in the case that quickly turns into an obsession. As a devastated Selky struggles to come to terms with Alex's disappearance, Menetti steps out from behind the badge to continue investigating.
