Plot Outline:
The team searches for a family man who has been emotionally and financially haunted as a result of the horrors of living through and being displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Aaron's wife, Sherise (Hamilton), says she last saw Aaron (La Salle) the previous morning when he left their Queens, N.Y. motel room for a temporary construction job in New Jersey, after just being let go from his cousin's (Beach) construction site job. However, the team learns that Aaron, whose truck was found abandoned and burned, actually quit his job and lied about having work in New Jersey. Wondering what else Aaron may have been hiding from his wife, the agents entertain theories of foul play and suicide as well as the possibility that he chose to run away from his mounting financial woes.
