Hawke is looking in the mountains for a family reported missing and discovers two bodies in the same camping area and that their daughter is not there. He employs the tracking skills he is known for but is often thwarted by the resourceful ten year old who has just lost her parents who seem to have been in witness protection. The due diligence gets even harder when Hawke inadvertently puts friends in danger and it takes all of law enforcement to get it all right. Kept me up all nite!
Larry Gorman (narrator) gives a good performance in the sense that I felt that he WAS Trooper Hawke.
