This particular SVU story marks one of the strangest perpetrators they ever encountered. They also get to close the coldest kind of cold case.
Tamara Tunie comes in for some big kudos here. The medical examiner notices a similarity in the pattern of restraint marks on a living victim whose case they just catch and those of on the torso that was found in the Hudson River a few years ago. No head, no limbs, just a torso that was found off the Chelsea piers and hence named Chelsea Doe.
The living victim is teen age Rachel Bella, daughter of Titus Welliver and Cynthia Ettinger. At first glance these people look like a normal happy family. But we gradually learn what a sickie Welliver is and how his warped values are imparted to his family.
And we learn who Chelsea Doe was and how she met her end. I can't say more, this is one to see for yourselves.
