One thing Toledo-area viewers may want to know if they tune in to NBC's The Wanted Monday night: The show about chasing real alleged terrorists has local ties thanks to co-executive producer Adam Ciralsky.

Ciralsky, who lives in Milwaukee, is the son of Nan and Robert Ciralsky, who attended Ottawa Hills and the former DeVilbiss high schools respectively. The co-creator of the show, who also appears on camera, still has relatives living in the area, including his grandmother, Edith Franklin of Ottawa Hills.

The Wanted debuted July 20. Monday night's episode will focus on Mamoun Darkazanli, indicted by Spanish officials in 2003 for providing logistical and financial support to Al Qaeda in connection with the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 but who still remains free in Germany. It can be seen locally on WNWO-TV, Channel 24.
