SVU: Is that girl on the phone in trouble or a hoax?

SVU S7 E3 “911”

“So, he’s married and a little toxic and I’m not sure how I actually feel about him. Some distance might be good. Not working together. Maybe his wife gets killed in a car bomb. I don’t know. You’re such a good listener, Maria.”

Benson takes a 911 call from a little girl locked in a room without food or water. The squad is frantically searching the city, but the cell signal keeps changing locations and some details the girl provides don't add up. Cragen worries the call is a hoax, but Olivia believes it's real and won't quit until the girl is rescued. 

We're talking about Mariska Hargitay's Emmy-winning performance in the highest ranked episode in the Law & Order franchise: SVU season 7 episode 3 "911."  Our guest is Sarah Devin from the Special Survivors Unit podcast.

This episode takes some cues from the controversy around a fake 911 call made to New Jersey police in 2004.
