Yeah, it's not a problem.
We hear you have a possible abduction.
Yeah, we found the car
early this morning.
Registration came back
to a pizza place in the city.
Apparently, both the car and the driver
were reported missing late last night.
What do you know about the driver?
-year-old delivery girl
named Chloe Rogers.
Guy who called it in said
she went out for her last run
a little before midnight.
Never made any of her stops.
Pizzas are still in the car.
All of her delivery addresses are within
two miles of the pizza place.
So why the hell'd she end up
an hour outside the city?
Uh, you find any personal effects?
Phone, ID, wallet?
No bag or wallet,
but her cell phone was
left in the cup holder.
Okay, let's get a K- unit

We could find a body
somewhere out there.

OA, there's a secondary set

Okay. Thank you.
All right, folks. Let's get into it.
We have a missing persons case...
-year-old Chloe Rogers,
delivery driver for
Luna Pizza in Chelsea.
She left work driving the company car
at around : p.m.
Uh, the car was found
this morning an hour away.
The question is, where's Chloe?
Was she with the car
when it was abandoned,
or was she carjacked
before it even left the city?
Carjacking isn't a bad theory.
ERT found damage on the car's
passenger side door handle.
Thinks someone was trying
to break in with a screwdriver.
All right, that's... that's something.
Although how many
car thieves do you know
wanna steal a pizza delivery vehicle?
Right. Have we heard from Maggie and OA?
Yeah, just talked to them.
The area is pretty deserted,
so they're not having
much luck with witnesses.
But they did send over
footage from the gas station
- up the road.
- Ooh.
Check this out.
Timestamps puts this at : a.m.
Can you zoom in on that car?
Well, that confirms
the abduction theory.
Can we get an ID from that?
Uh, no. It's too dark for facial rec.
Can we find another angle?
Get him coming back the other way?
No, I checked. Wherever
they went after ditching the car,
they didn't pass the gas station again.
Okay, well,
if the evidence won't help us,
maybe the victim can.
- What do we know about her?
- Uh, not a lot.
We're actually having trouble
finding information.
We don't have an official ID yet,
and there's no online presence.
Well, somebody's gotta know her.
Who reported her missing?
Uh, a coworker from the pizza place.
Ben Miller.
Scola and Tiffany
are talking to him now.

My dad hired Chloe to work
with us about six months ago,
and we started dating
pretty soon after that.
But she's a great girl, you know?
I mean, she wouldn't
just disappear like this.
Yeah. We're not doubting that.
Can you tell us what
happened last night?
Um, I don't know.
She was supposed to be back
after her run to drop the car off.
When she wasn't back by : ,

Yeah, I get it, but I would never.
Look, we haven't been

Good. Help us find her.
You know anything about her background?
What do you mean?
Well, we're having trouble
tracking down her family, for one,

I think it was just her and her dad.
But she didn't really
talk about him a lot.
I got the feeling they didn't
have the best relationship.
- How so?
- I don't know.
Any time I'd mention him,
she'd just change the subject.
I think she came to New York

Where was she from, originally?
Upstate, around Poughkeepsie.
You know her dad's name?
No. Sorry.
We're gonna do everything

I mean, she worked for your dad, right?
He must have some paperwork on her.
A W- or a driver's license?
I don't... I don't think so.
She was an employee here, wasn't she?
Yeah, but she didn't have
a bank account set up yet,

All right, you know anyone else

Lyman was her neighbor.
He was in his s at the time

And according to this, even
before Annabelle went missing,
Lyman served time for child pornography,
molestation, luring of a minor.
Right. Annabelle's mother had
reported him for being creepy.
You know, loitering, leering,
trying to start conversations
with young girls.
Checked his phone.
Cell records showed him near the daycare

was an alcoholic,

on Lyman, right?
What, the... the cell data.
Yeah. I had Ian look into it.

come a long way since then.

JOC just got a lead on the ring

That had nothing to do with any of this.
Seems to me we were
either fighting, or...
No.
If anything, us being together helped us
deal with the stress
and the late nights.
Izzy, we were good together. We were.
We followed the leads that we
had, and they didn't work out.
That's just what happens sometimes.
Hell, this guy Whalen,
he wasn't even on our radar back then.
So do yourself a favor and let it go.
Let it go?
Only thing you can do.
No.
The only thing we can do
is find Annabelle.
This time, anyway.

All right, I wanna know everything
there is to know about Jeff Whalen.
Who he is, what he's been doing,
who his childhood best friends are.
Whalen was born in Poughkeepsie in .
Only child.
His parents moved him to Staten Island
when he was in junior high,
but they were both k*lled
in a car accident
a couple of years later.
Whalen bounced around foster homes
for the rest of high school
until he turned .
From there, he started working odd jobs
as a carpenter on Staten Island
up until early .
He pretty much falls off
the grid after that.
What do you mean? What... where'd he go?
No clue.
Last employment on file
was terminated four months
before Annabelle disappeared.
After that, he's a ghost.
Well, he's supposedly been
living out in the world, right?
Well, not under that name
or Social Security number.
You said he was
from Poughkeepsie, right?
Mm-hmm.
Well, our victim was
living up there with her dad
under a fake name.
Maybe Whalen's using a fake name too.
That's a good idea.
Let's run his photo
through the DMV database.
Okay, I got something.
Jim Wilson, years old.
Lives in Fairview, minutes
outside of Poughkeepsie.
Yeah, yeah, yeah! That's him.
Is this address current?
I think so. Property records
still list him as the owner,
and he's still paying utilities.
All right, let's check it out.

Yeah. I knew him as Jim Wilson.
He's lived in town as long
as I've been around.
At least years.
He live alone?
No, he's got a daughter.
Probably college age now.
That her?
Yeah, Tasha. Nice girl.
A little quiet, but they both were.
What was their relationship like?
Tasha and her father,
based off what you saw?
They were a little strange,
to be honest with you.
Very insular.
Got the feeling he was
kind of overprotective,
but I guess she broke out
on her own eventually.
- What do you mean, you guess?
- I don't know.
The rumor was that she ran away.
Left in the middle of the night.
No note. That kind of thing.
Wilson was pretty broken up by it.
I figured that's why he
left town, to track her down.
You know how to get in contact with him?
No, that was a part of the deal
when he agreed to rent me this place.
I'm paying a reduced rate,
but the upkeep of the house is on me.
Where do you send the rent?
I can get you the address.
It's a PO box in a town
called Nelsonville.

Any leads on where he's going?
If he's going to the
post office regularly,
he's gotta be living nearby.
We've been looking at recent
property sales in the area.
There was one about five months
back that stands out.
A small cabin way back in the woods
on the outskirts of town.
Buyer paid cash the same day
Whalen emptied his accounts
and left Poughkeepsie.
- Was his name on the deed?
- No.
House was purchased under
the name Joe Woodman.
So we're into a bit of guesswork there.
Okay, but we know Whalen has
changed his name in the past,
