Synopsis:
Batman interrupts a burglary perpetrated by private investigator Maxine Kelly who is searching for clues concerning a seven year old kidnapping case in which the victim, a three year old boy Josh Winston, was never found. Having recently lost Jason Todd, Batman is motivated to help solve the case. He breaks into the FBI offices to learn the location of one of the original suspects. That lead fails to pay off, but when he analyzes photographs of the boy, he discovers another clue. He eventually tracks down the real kidnapper, a woman who lost her own son prior to the kidnapping. Batman reunites the boy with his real mother, who is on her deathbed.
