Law and Order: SVU season 26 episode 20, titled Shock Collar, delivers a complex case as Captain Olivia Benson is joined by former detective Amanda Rollins to investigate the abduction of a young girl, Haley Greene. The case begins as a frantic search for a missing child but soon unravels into something far more disturbing.
The SVU squad initially suspects a typical custody dispute or a crime of opportunity. However, the truth is that Haley was kidnapped to replace another child who had died under suspicious circumstances. The perpetrators, Dennis and Nicole Carwood, had previously exploited their own daughter by filming and distributing abusive content online.
After her death, they abducted Haley to continue their twisted operation. Through meticulous investigation, digital forensics, and canine units, the squad uncovers the truth. Haley is ultimately found alive, but the episode poses difficult questions about what evil looks like in the digital age.

In Law and Order: SVU season 26 episode 20, when Haley Greene is kidnapped from her mother’s car during a brief breakfast delivery stop, SVU launches a full-scale investigation. With no immediate leads and the child’s father unreachable, the detectives begin to suspect foul play.
Surveillance footage reveals a masked woman calmly stealing the car and driving away with Haley in the back seat. Meanwhile, Sergeant Rollins and the Intelligence team uncover disturbing footage of Haley being abused online, forced to wear a shock collar for the gratification of viewers.
This confirms that Haley was abducted as part of a twisted online operation. The true motive is rooted in what Rollins calls “delegated sadism,” where anonymous users pay to witness abuse without directly participating.
Haley was chosen to replace a previous victim whose identity remains unknown. The content creator uses encrypted systems and VPNs to avoid detection, but the team narrows down the location of the audience.

Olivia and Amanda focus on the footage's surroundings, spotting aggressive dog breeds in the background. That clue leads Curry and Velasco to local breeders of Rottweilers, Dobermans, and Cane Corsos.
At one facility, they learn that the girl in the earlier videos was the daughter of Dennis and Nicole Carwood. They were Rottweiler breeders with a secluded home and a history of avoiding attention. A raid is swiftly organized.
As authorities move in, Nicole shoots Dennis and threatens suicide, but Olivia talks her down. Inside their home, SVU finds the basement studio used to film the abusive content. Tragically, the body of the Carwoods’ daughter is discovered buried nearby, confirming she was the first victim.
Nicole eventually confesses and leads authorities to Haley, who is rescued from a greenhouse. The Carwoods reveal that after the death of their daughter, whom they exploited for their dark enterprise, they abducted Haley to continue their abuse-driven online business.
To them, Haley was a replacement in a perverse, transactional scheme. The SVU team manages to bring them to justice and save another innocent victim in Law and Order: SVU season 26 episode 20.
