15x58 - Cold Calling

September 21, 1999

Rawton is furious when Meadows pulls her OBBO on convicted rapist David Trigg, due to budgetary reasons. She is quickly put on a series of robberies, then onto the case of a missing teenager. She is determined to prove Trigg could be involved due to the proximity of his home to the missing girl. However, Trigg comes forward as a witness and gives a description of a man that the missing girl's friend identifies as Paul Myers, who is brought in due to a suspicious bruise on his knuckles. The girl is later found as the victim of a serious assault, but Trigg's relationship with a local suddenly returns him to the top of the list of suspects, but the biggest shock is that he has abducted a woman he wrote to whilst in prison. As the ramifications of Trigg's actions come to light in the fallout, Rawton clashes with Meadows about financial planning taking priority over people's safety.
