Hey Higgiebaby, not sure how much further you want to go in terms of relationships, but theres:

Rick's sister (Distant Relative)
Elmo Ziller (The Elmo Ziller Story)
Tyler Peabody McKinney (All for One)
Dan Cook & Philippe (aka Le Bull) (The Pilot)
Ron Pennington (Round and Around)

I know they were all pretty much "one and done" characters, but I would like to think that they shook up the "fearsome foursome" to some extent.

Was it actually confirmed in the episode that Elmo died? I thought that his daughter thought that he was still alive and in Mexico somewhere. :?:

Hey Walstasz,

I'm pretty sure it was inferred that Elmo died, and since the body was neevr recovered, it was sort of a "wishful thinking" by Lexi that he was still alive.

I'll have to rewatch the episode, but from what I remembered, it seems like it could go either way, and Higgins, at least, thought Elmo dead

I was always under the impression that Elmo may still be alive. If I remember correctly, toward the end of the episode, Lexi said something about holding out hope that Elmo was still alive and that he may have made it to Mexico.

Yeah, and am I tired. :wink:

There is another to add to the list. Laura Frazier's boyfriend, the Delta Agent, who was shot at the end of "Missing In Action." This is where Magnum shoots him and he falls from a tower and into the water. However, Magnum made no effort to see if he was still alive. Maybe that's because he wanted Laura all for himself. :D

I always felt sort of odd about Laura. She is very pretty, but there is a scene where she is crying on the couch where she has strings of spit on her mouth and the camera is looking right up her nose and she isn't very attractive at all. :oops:

Now don't start saying that I'm insensitive. I've held my wife's hair while she was sick and never found her less attractive after the fact. Maybe it was just weird to see it on TV or something. :?

Wow, that is one impressive list IslandHopper! Bravo!

Yeah, the ending of Missing in Action is really a flub. A flub I think I'll add to the Episode Guide. They spend the whole episode trying to find Eric, and when they do they make no effort to save him. One shot from a handgun and a short fall into the water. Eh, he must be dead. Let's go. WTH?! :?
