THE TEAM SEARCHES FOR A MISSING MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER WHO MAY BE HAVING AN INAPPROPRIATE RELATIONSHIP WITH A STUDENT WHO HAS ALSO DISAPPEARED, ON "WITHOUT A TRACE," THURSDAY, JAN. 26

"Rage" -- While searching for a missing middle school teacher, the team begins to suspect that she may be having an inappropriate relationship with a 14-year-old student who is also nowhere to be found, on WITHOUT A TRACE, Thursday, Jan. 26 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Kate Woods directed the episode written by Scott Williams, one of the series' co-executive producers.

Claire Hunter goes missing after losing her cool and punching a man in the face at the gym after he hit on her disinterested colleague, Angela. The team members initially wonder if the bloodied and humiliated man may be involved in her disappearance, and they also question what motivated the never-married Claire to legally change her surname prior to moving to her current town and job. Additional theories abound once her ex-boyfriend reveals that he recently showed up at her apartment and, despite Claire's insistence that it wasn't how it looked, saw that her young student, Ray, had just showered there.
