Eventually responding to this
I watched the SVU episode weeks/months ago
. She was in quite a bit of the episode/one of the main ones. She played one of the mothers of the child who was missing. The other mother (She played a gay character) blamed her but then the detectives found that neither knew where he was. She wasn't like Merri but I also found some similarities if that makes sense? It was a good ep so if you do get the chance to watch it I'd recommend checking it out
