SUMMARY
SARA (Joanne Kelly, “Whiskey Echo”) is the beautiful young wife of prominent Georgia Senator JEFFREY COLLINS (John Allen Nelson, “24″), and she has gone missing. But before the FBI can solve the mystery of where she is, they first need to figure out who she really is. Through the eyes of Senior FBI Agent GRAHAM KELTON (Gale Harold, “Queer as Folk,” “Martha Behind Bars”), ambitious reporter JUDY NASH (Rebecca Gayheart, “Nip/Tuck,” “Harvard Man”) and the distraught members of the Collins family, viewers will journey inside a sensational, mysterious national soap opera. Kelton, working with Agent LIN MEI (Ming-Na, “ER”), uncovers enigmatic clues that suggest Sara’s disappearance may be part of a large, sinister conspiracy. Created by Josh Berman (“CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”) and directed by executive producer Mimi Leder (“The Peacemaker,” “Deep Impact”), VANISHED combines the investigative twists and turns of “CSI,” the nonstop pace and tension of FOX’s “24″ and the scope of “The Da Vinci Code.”

TRIVIA

- It was rumored that at some point, Bones would be wrapping up Vanished’s storyline.
- On Bones, a character named Graham Kelton is called “a creep” by Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz). Graham Kelton had apparently the best chair at the F.B.I. It’s unknown if this is a coincidence or a reference to Vanished.
- The V and the A in the title card merge to form a crude Freemason symbol.
- Ratings for ‘Vanished’ started off strong when the series premiered. However, after the show killed off it’s leading man. Agent Kelton, viewership began to plummet, and eventually Fox pulled the plug on the thriller.
