Missing in Time refers to episode 1 of the Season 6 of the television series Forensic Files which was broadcast for the first time on May 21, 2001.

Plot summary
In 1995 in Orchards, Washington, Carolyn Ruth Killaby was reported missing after a fight with her husband. She was presumed to be dead, and her husband was the prime suspect. Police were suspicious of a secondary suspect, Dennis Keith Smith, when they found evidence of a suspicious fire in his car.

Two tiny drops of blood were found in the burned interior. Traditional DNA testing was difficult, because there was no body for DNA comparison and the man who raised Carolyn was revealed to not be her biological father. But a tiny clue inside the suspect's watchband and a popular television show helped solve the case and catch the killer.
