From CBS EntertainmentLos Angeles, Jan. 31 - On Thursday, Feb. 3, CBS's top-rated drama WITHOUT A TRACE (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT on the CBS Television Network) starring LaPaglia, Poppy Montgomery, nne Jean-Baptiste, Enrique Murciano and Close, will feature a storyline in which the FBI team searches for a 12-year-old boy with autism who vanishes from a Manhattan museum while on a school field trip.In addition to being a very moving and accurate story that depicts a family with a child affected by autism, as well as some of the varied traits of the affected child, the actors who play the parents, Tucci and Angell, are really married and are themselves the parents of a 3-year-old son with autism. According to and , this is probably the most important role of their lives, considering their connection to the topic, and they applaud the writer of the episode for the accuracy of their portrayal.Also, and taped a PSA that will run at the end of the episode encouraging parents to seek out early diagnosis and intervention.Press Contacts: Diane Ekeblad 323/575-2029 diane.ekeblad@...Barbara Abseck 212/975-4637 beabseck@...
