"Birthday Boy" - Jack Malone and the team search for an 11-year old boy who disappears from the subway en route to Yankee Stadium for what was to be his birthday celebration, on a rebroadcast of WITHOUT A TRACE, on a special night and time, Sunday, July 6 (8:00-900 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. David Nutter directed the episode from a script by series creator Hank Steinberg. (Originally broadcast 10/3/02)

When they get separated in the station, the boy's frantic father, Bob Feldman (David Paymer), watches his son, Gabe (David Henrie), board a subway train. He assumes that Gabe will get off at the next stop but that doesn't happen and the father searches the ballpark before he calls the police. By the time the team learns about the case, the boy has been missing for 16-hours.

As they begin their investigation and gather information for their "Day of Disappearance" timeline, what initially seemed to be a case of a missing child and possible abduction turns into a very different scenario: the boy may have ditched his dad on purpose.
