L&O: Hey! Who stole my kidney?!
1Description
Police discover an unconscious man in Central Park who's been the victim of a theft - of his kidney! Det Sgt Max Greavey and Det Mike Logan learn the daughter of wealthy Phillip Woodleigh suddenly withdrew from the organ transplant list. They discover surgeon James Reberty rented portable surgical equipment and find bloody bandages at his nurse’s apartment.
ADA Paul Robinette says Reberty didn’t sew off the renal artery, suggesting he wanted the victim/donor to die. EADA Ben Stone believes Woodleigh paid the surgeon $2 million to get a kidney for his daughter…by any means necessary.
We're talking about Law & Order season 1 episode 21 "Sonata for Solo Organ."
Our guest from our May 22, 2019 episode is Dan Taberski, from "Missing Richard Simmons," "Running from COPS," and “Hysterical.” The episode was inspired by the 1989 organ scandal involving Amhet Koc.
