What happened

Nearly 10 years after a Florida teen vanished in the middle of the night, detectives turn to psychics for help Patrick Reeder’s 15-year-old daughter, Sophie, has been missing for just over nine years.

Why it matters

Since then, the case has gone cold and there have been few developments, he said.

Common ground

Desperate for answers, Reeder is depending on detectives investigating his daughter’s disappearance to crack the case.

Perspective signals
