SVU: David Harbour plays with dolls and kidnaps Gloria Reuben's kid

SVU S4 E7 “Dolls”

A grown man who likes to play with dolls? Well, there have been stranger things.

After the body of a mummified child is discovered, Benson and Stabler run out of leads. At a vigil for "Cherish Doe," Fin meets Violet (Gloria Reuben). She's fresh from rehab and fears the unidentified girl is her missing daughter, Nina. The detectives learn the victim is a different girl, but both children were taken from their homes by a man posing as a social services worker.

The trail leads to a handyman with an obsession for expensive dolls (David Harbour). In order to get him to say where the missing Nina is, Violet must convince him she's not a bad mother.

We're talking about Special Victims Unit season 4 episode 7 Dolls. Our returning guest is Lani Diane Rich.

Some plot points share similarities with the 1991 investigation into an unidentified child known only as “Baby Hope.”
