What do we get from telling her? I want to see her reaction
His name is Patrick Kent. 43, married, no children.. Vice President of N.J. Ridder & Associates investment banking firm.. He checked in for a flight headed home to New York.. Got his boarding pass, wandered off, and never came back.. We pulled his bags off the plane. People were pretty freaked out.
Did you notice anything unusual about his behavior?
No. He was late, as always.
But friendly. So you saw him quite a bit? Twice a month, like clockwork. And nothing like this ever happened before? Excuse me a sec. Here are the bags he checked. Three-day business trip, two empty suitcases. Maybe he never intended on going to New York. Maybe he just wanted it to look that way. So what we have here is Patrick Kent. Son-in-law of a wealthy New York financier. I was expecting a ransom note. He's been missing for 40 hours.
So why are we even on this case? I mean, adult male, free to come and go as he pleases. Other than a couple of empty suitcases, there's no sign of foul play. Like I said, we have the missing son-in-law of a wealthy New York financier. And when Noah Ridder calls, we mere mortals jump.
Where are we with this? Danny just checked in. Kent's got a company car that he keeps out there. He usually takes it to the airport. Haven't located it yet. 5:00 a.m. Danny's up early. That's assuming he went to bed. Where are we with Kent's cell phone? Records show he received a call at 1:55 p.m.
Three minutes after he checked in. Five minutes before last call for boarding. We traced the call to a conference room in his New York office. Whatever happened on that call stopped him from getting on that plane. So far, no one in his office is copping to making the call. I'll head there and see what I can find out. Martin, you're on your way to San Diego to liaise with Danny. Don't forget your surf gear. Should we send a referee? No. Let them duke it out. By the way, your wife called. Twice. I don't understand. If you're here, who's looking for him? We have two agents on the ground in San Diego. They'll coordinate with the FBI office there. How often did your husband travel to California? Once a month, for about a week each time. Father sent him to open the San Diego office five years ago. Tell me about the last time you saw your husband. It was the morning he left for San Diego.
Did he say what he was upset about?
We had a fight. Well, not a fight exactly.. Is the car here yet? In a big hurry to leave?
Traffic's backed up on the Van Wyck. I don't wanna miss the flight.
Did he say what he was upset about?
Between your problems at the office and your California trips. It seems like you're never here. You know, I'm doing the best I can. I've heard that before. What do you want from me, Katherine? I gotta go. I'll be back soon. I spoke with Father. He's taking you off the San Diego account.
He agrees it would be better if you spent more time in New York. You always call your father to help with your marital problems? How long you been married? Fifteen years. When did it get strained? I don't know. I didn't mark the day on a calendar. How would you describe your husband? He was very focused on work, on the company. He was under a lot of pressure lately. And how does he get on with your father?
Marital stress, trouble at work. He might have just run off. In which case, it's not my problem. If he did, I would like to at least know that he's safe. Do you think he's in some kind of danger? I don't know. I don't know what to think.
