"Committed" -- When it comes to light that an elderly woman who died of natural causes had used the identity of a woman who disappeared from her son's life, Lilly re-opens the 1954 case, on a rebroadcast of COLD CASE, at a special time, Sunday, Jan. 14 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.  Alex Zakrzewski directed the episode that was written by Liz W. Garcia.  (Originally broadcast 10/23/05)

            The team searches for clues to find out what happened to the woman whose identity was stolen.  The son, Otis Petrowski, last saw his mother when he was 9-years-old on a visit to a local mental institution where she had been committed after being diagnosed as bipolar.  When Lilly interviews former patients and staff from the mental institution, she gets a disturbing picture of the way mental patients were treated in the 1950s, as well as how easily women were "diagnosed" as mentally ill, and now must put the pieces together as to why one woman would steal another's identity.
