*The week of November 15, 1973, for Jerry Lee Lewis was one of the worst of his life. On November 2, 1954, Jane Mitchum gave birth to Jerry Lee Lewis' son, Jerry Lee Lewis Jr., and on November 13, 1973 [same week that this episode of 'Police Story' aired], his beloved son, and drummer in his current touring band, at the age of 19 [two days before his 20th birthday, while making his way back to the family ranch, Nesbit, Ms.], died in the jeep his father had given him as a present.
