[edit] Plot summary

[edit] Facts
- "In the Wee Small Hours" is the only episode until the second episode of the ninth season in which all four detective characters (Goren, Eames, Logan, Barek) appear and work together.
- This episode was most likely inspired by the disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba.
- The mother of an African American girl, whose disappearance is also tied to the same suspect, observes what has become known as Missing White Woman Syndrome: "I know how it is with you people [TV news]. If she's white, put her in the spotlight. If she's black, put her in the back."
[edit] Name
- The episode title is a reference to both the time the murder (and other crimes) were committed, as well as to Frank Sinatra's album In the Wee Small Hours. Goren, Logan, and two of the suspects are Sinatra buffs. In one scene, Logan interprets a piece of evidence in the context of Sinatra's work, while in the squadroom, Goren interprets a similar piece of evidence exactly the same way. Logan walks in just as Goren is giving an explanation to Eames and finishes his sentence.
