Greg Tanner

Greg Tanner is the father of Ryan Tanner.

History
Greg was at the scene when they arrested a man during a poker game. He hid in a closet while the other players were asked to give statements. Ryan found him. He'd figured out that his father was there when he saw his father's favorite cigarette at the table. Greg immediately offered to give up any information he had, but Ryan said they just wanted a statement because they weren't after him this time. Ryan was also upset to learn that Greg had been back in Seattle for two and a half months and hadn't contacted him. When Greg then asked for a ride, Ryan tried to refuse, but ended up taking Greg to his next call, where he left Greg in the back seat while he interviewed someone who claimed to have been robbed. Greg told Ryan that the guy hadn't been robbed and explained why. Ryan then revealed he knew the whole time, because Greg had taught him to think like a criminal his whole life. At the end of the day, Greg told Ryan that he wanted to grow a relationship with Ryan, but Ryan said he didn't need one or want one. ("Lost and Found")
