While talking to the adult bookstore owner, Hooker mentions his 8 year old daughter riding by on the bus, and he also mentions his son walking by going to school. Presumably the 8 year old daughter was Chrissie, played in the series by Nicole Eggert, who was about 10 years old in 1982. He made no mention of his other daughter Cathy, a teenager who appeared only once in God Bless the Child (1982) (about 7 months earlier). While Chrissie reappeared over time, Cathy mysteriously disappeared from the series after one appearance.
Even in 1982 basic police procedure when dealing with a victim of sexual assault would be to have a female officer interview the victim, who had just been traumatized by a man.
