And we hope someone listening may have a clue that could help crack one of these cases. Could that someone be you? Here's Dateline, Missing in America.
0:28It was 12.45 a.m. when Sophie Reeder started her journey. slipping out of her house and into a syrupy Florida night. At 2.16 a.m., a security camera recorded her walking along Davie Boulevard in South Fort Lauderdale. She was wearing a short black dress, a brown fur coat, headphones, and high-top sneakers. Sophie Reeder was 15 years old, and that video is the last known image of her on May 20, 2017, the day she disappeared. Patrick Reeder is her father. Patrick, I can't imagine how difficult this has been for you. Yeah, it's like a living nightmare, a living nightmare. You got to deal with it every day.
1:18Police would later discover where Sophie went on her middle-of-the-night walk. The mystery they have not solved is what happened after she arrived. She got there after that long walk. Yeah. What does that tell you? That puts us in a vicinity to start the investigation. We call it a last seen point. It is not a place for a 15-year-old in the dark at all.

Could that mark on Sophie's calendar be the key to solving her case? Sophie's aunt is on a mission to uncover the truth.
