In the center of the green grass near the pathways, Karen Matthews pulls out items from the large wicker picnic basket open near her. She's packing up, covering a juice bottle and tucking it into the picnic basket.) (She turns and looks over at the jungle gym set, a small smile on her face. Her smile disappears when she can't locate her son, Jesse.) (She quickly stands up and takes several steps, looking around the area for her son, Jesse.) Karen Matthews: Jesse? Jesse? (She doesn't see him. She looks around the area, her voice getting louder.) Karen Matthews: Jesse... Jesse, can you hear me? Jesse, please! (She looks around.) Karen Matthews: (shouts) Jesse!! FADE TO WHITE: [SCENE_BREAK] [EXT. MESA VALLEY PARK - DAY] (Grissom and Warrick walk with Brass, who fills them in as they head toward the park. Brass holds out a small photo of a small dark-haired little boy.) Brass: Jesse Matthews, six years old. (Grissom grabs the photo from Brass and looks at it.) Grissom: Is this an old photo? Brass: Yeah, it's the only one the mom had. She said one minute, he's on the swing, the next minute he's gone. Grissom: Abduction. Brass: Well, the search radius is over a mile -- no sign of the boy. Warrick: What about the father? Brass: The father is, um... Army Sergeant, uh... (He looks at his notes.)... Dwight Matthews. Killed in Afghanistan four years ago. Grissom: Any other family members? Grandparents? Boyfriends?
