Unlike the stereotypical \"hard-boiled\" private eyes of the era, Craig was known for his calm, methodical approach and professionalism, with his business motto being \"your man when you can't go to the cops—confidentiality a specialty.\" Each episode featured Craig solving various mysteries, from routine missing persons cases to complex conspiracies, often working alongside his police contact, Lt. Travis Rogers. Hope you enjoy this episode of Box 13!
