Hi, I'm Josh Mankiewicz with a preview of Dateline Missing in America. In our podcast's fourth season, we share six new unsolved mysteries.
00:00:11
And we hope someone listening may have a clue that could help crack one of these cases.
00:00:17
Could that someone be you? Here's Dateline Missing in America. It was 12.45 a.m. when Sophie Reeder started her journey, slipping out of her house and into a syrupy Florida night.
00:00:38
At 2.16 a.m., a security camera recorded her walking along Davie Boulevard in South Fort Lauderdale.
00:00:46
She was wearing a short black dress, a brown fur coat, headphones, and high-top sneakers.
00:00:55
Sophie Reeder was 15 years old, and that video is the last known image of her on May 20, 2017, the day she disappeared.
00:01:07
Patrick Reeder is her father. Patrick I can imagine how difficult this has been for you Yeah it like a living nightmare A living nightmare You got to deal with it every day Police would later discover where Sophie went on her middle of the night walk
00:01:23
The mystery they have not solved is what happened after she arrived. She got there after that long walk.
00:01:31
Yeah. What does that tell you? That puts us in a vicinity to start the investigation.
00:01:35
We call it a last seen point. It is not a place for a 15-year-old in the dark at all.
00:01:43
That's a reporter who dug into Sophie's case. I just always think about how she had that date circled on her calendar.
00:01:50
A May night in 2017. Could that mark on Sophie's calendar be the key to solving her case?
00:01:58
Sophie's aunt is on a mission to uncover the truth. If she's alive, she's against her will somewhere.
00:02:04
And I feel like somebody needs to do something, interview the people that we know have information to find her.
