THE TEAM SEARCHES FOR A MISSING X-RAY TECHNICIAN WHO BELIEVED HE WAS ABDUCTED BY ALIENS AS A CHILD, ON "WITHOUT A TRACE," THURSDAY, OCT. 14

Timothy Busfield ("The West Wing") Returns as Jack Malone's Divorce Attorney

"Light Years" -- While searching for a missing 37-year-old x-ray technician, the team discovers that the man has long believed that he was abducted by aliens as a child, on WITHOUT A TRACE, Thursday, Oct. 14 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Craig Zisk directed the episode that was written by Greg Walker, one of the series' co-executive producers.

Timothy Busfield ("The West Wing") returns as Jack Malone's divorce attorney.

The team is intrigued when the missing Teddy Cota's pregnant ex-girlfriend explains that she broke up with him when he told her he feared the extraterrestrials would return for him and their baby. After a friend at Teddy's alien abductees' support group claims they'd recently been trailed by two menacing "Men in Black," it seems the team's only normal lead is from a neighbor who saw Teddy let an agitated man into his apartment the night he disappeared. Meanwhile, while dealing with the awkwardness of displacing Vivian as the team's leader, Jack's lawyer tells him that his estranged wife is planning to use his affair with Samantha to prove he's an unfit parent in their custody battle.
