Carisi can't declare Murray guilty without due process.
She calls Langford (Mariska's real life husband). She will get Ian released and she knows what lawyer to call. They kiss but the sitter texts next so Benson has to go. Burton can't believe all those years didn't matter. In a flashback, Benson talks to Stabler about how girls with absent fathers often have attractions to older men and it happened to her.īenson is in bed and Burton is pouring a drink. Burton wants to go on a walk with her.īurton loves New York and says his ex ruined Paris for him. She says it's a lot but she spends time with her son, walks, etc.
He wants a lawyer (now?)īurton thinks Roger was aroused by kidnapping Haley. He says Haley was afraid of Ian and he wanted to protect her. He says he doesn't remember if it was on the field or at the dance. Roger admits he might have touched her corsage and her arm when he pulled her away from Ian. The cops interview Roger, who says he loved Haley and tried to protect her but let her down that night. Roger's wife wants him to do whatever they ask. They pretend to agree that Ian is guilty and ask for a DNA sample to rule him out. She wants to be left alone.Ĭarisi goes to talk to Roger Murray with Amaro. She says she told Burton that Haley's death wasn't entertainment. Roger Murray tutored Haley and helped her with college planning. The detectives go to see Haley's mother, who has preserved Haley's room as it was the day she died. He had no reason not to believe Murray, who was like a second father to Haley. He says Murray wasn't a suspect but was a chaperone at the prom and saw Ian and Haley get in a fight and that he said that Haley found Ian creepy. Murray loved Haley.Ĭragen talks to Amaro and Rolllins on video chat. They have a suspect - the girls' tennis coach. They found a relative on a genealogical website. Benson says this is pretty old school even if it's higher tech. Amaro says they can search ancestry sites now. So the DNA is inconclusive, which does nothing for Ian. Rollins thinks Burton is still into Olivia and that's why he's here. He loved Haley.Īnother flashback (fantasy?) where Benson recalls saying she said yes to Burton because she wanted to get away from her mother. He ran home and his parents took him to the hospital and he was so messed up he thought he did it. He heard footsteps on the gravel and someone hit him over the head and kidnapped Haley. He lit a cigarette and then they kissed and started making out. Ian jogs down the track, worrying the cops guarding him. He looks upset as he stares out at the track. Anyway Ian arrives for a cognitive reenactment - favor from Carisi. It turns out that her mother interfered, telling her that Burton had another girlfriend and Burton that he'd be expelled if he ever contacted Olivia again. Amaro understands the science and by the way is working on a biophysics degree.īenson talks to Burton. The kit has been in freezer purgatory all this time. Amaro says all he needs is 15 cells of DNA. Ian could have been out on parole but he refused to apologize when he was innocent. But Ian had a concussion and was knocked out before Haley was killed. the case? Benson said she called Cragen and that Ian had confessed. In the present, Burton says Serena would have been proud. There is a flashback of younger Benson telling Novak that her mom set her up with someone when she was 21 who wanted to marry her. He walks in and it turns out that he and Olivia know each other. Amaro is looking into the case.Ī crime writer named Burton Low comes to see Amaro. They had arrested someone who recanted his confession. He now works in forensic science, solving cold cases (hah!) He has a case from 1996 he wants to reopen. She doesn't really want to talk about Serena.Īt work, Amaro is there to surprise her. After a flashback of Serena telling her not to be a cop, Benson answers Noah's question about how old she would be.
