Trivia[]

  • The episode was named after the song "Solitary Man," which was sung by Johnny Cash. The same song was featured near the very beginning and end of the episode.
  • During the episode, a victim named Bobby Lainsford is shown with the last name "Langsford" on Garcia's computer screen, despite being credited differently everywhere else. This was likely a mistake on the editor's part.
    • In addition, Lynn Clemons, a resident of New Mexico, is shown to have an Arizona driver's license issued in 1965, over forty years prior to the episode's airing. This was most likely a mistake on the prop designer's part.
