The Complete Third Season of Warner Home Video's hit TV drama Without A Trace will be released onto DVD on 24th July 2006. All 23 episodes of the tense crime series will be presented as a stylish 4 disc box set.

The third series from powerhouse executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation) offers a further dramatic glimpse into the search for people who vanish inexplicably. Fast paced and with the clock continuously counting down the missing minutes, Without A Trace is a gripping drama with twists to keep you guessing until the end.

Starring Anthony LaPaglia (Murder One), and Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Secrets and Lies), Without a Trace: Season 3 airs on C4 and T4. LaPaglia won a 2004 Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Drama for his role in the show and is also an Emmy and Tony award winner.

Some of the challenges faced by the FBI's Missing Persons Squad in season three include tracing a blind girl who has disappeared along with her mobility instructor - suspicion naturally falls on the instructor, but further investigations reveal a surprising number of men have reason to be treated as suspects. A woman's secret past as an abortion-clinic vigilante is revealed, a man with an overwhelming fear of alien abduction goes missing in bizarre circumstances and one of the team is required to go deep undercover as a volunteer drugs mule in an effort to find a missing woman embroiled in heroin smuggling.

Supplementing the stellar cast regulars in season three are a host of guest stars including Talia Balsam (L.A. Doctors), Timothy Busfield (The West Wing), Emmy Award winner Chad Lowe (Life Goes On), Evan Handler (Sex & the City), Martin Landau (Mission Impossible) and Anthony LaPaglia's off-screen wife Gia Carides (My Big Fat Greek Wedding).

The FBI Missing Persons Squad headed by dedicated senior agent Jack Malone (LaPaglia) hunts for missing persons by applying advanced psychological profiling. Malone's team peels back the layers of the victims' lives to trace their whereabouts and discover whether they've been abducted, are missing by choice, were murdered, have committed suicide or are simply accident victims. They reconstruct a DOD (day of disappearance) timeline that details every minute of the 24 hours prior to the victim's disappearance, following one simple rule: learn whom the victim is in order to learn where the victim is. Still, despite their best efforts, the agents are only human, and sometimes their mistakes come back to haunt them.

Members of Malone's regular team include beautiful Samantha Spade (Poppy Montgomery), an agent whose good looks complement a tough, complex approach to work; Vivian Johnson (Jean-Baptiste), a driven investigator with a special insight into victims' families; intense and private Danny Taylor (Enrique Murciano), whose sensitivity is often covered up by his street smarts; and Martin Fitzgerald (Eric Close), who earned his stripes last year as the newest member of the team but still has a lot to prove. As the agents continue to work on varied and complicated cases, more details about their own lives unfold.
