When Crisp met with Miss Schlowski...


Why didn't Kimble or O'Hara give Miss Schlowski a mugshot or picture of Crisp, so that she would know what he looks like...did they not have photo of him?

I understand that it was needed to set up the finale...but it seems weird they would go through all that trouble to catch him without letting Miss Schlowski know what he looks like...

That's a great point. Didn't think of that. They definitely would have given her a mugshot. Weird.

reply

I don't think they told her about Crisp. As far as they were concerned he was contained. Didn't they just tell her they were looking for a missing suspect or something?

reply

Oops. I forgot about the day after the revelation to Rachel when they asked for her help to set him up after they found out Crisp had been released.

reply

They wouldn't tell her why an undercover police officer was needing to work in that school. It was mentioned at the beginning. Plus they didn't know til the previous day that Crisp was free. Perhaps they thought they could handle him on their own.

reply

Exactly, this was explained in Kimble's first meeting with the principal.

Miss Schlowski: My superintendent told me I had to replace Mrs Hagley, a kindergarten teacher, of 25 years' experience, with an undercover police officer and he wouldn't even tell me why. I don't suppose you would do me the courtesy of filling me in?

Kimble: I can't do that.

reply

There was no need to, Crisp was in jail, also they weren't allowed to give her too much information about the case.
