Kaylee’s daughter, Amanda, had been missing for two weeks. Despite extensive efforts by both Kaylee and the police, there was no trace of Amanda. One day, after putting up more flyers, Kaylee stopped by her neighbor’s garage sale and was horrified to see Amanda’s jacket—the very one she had been wearing the night she disappeared.
Kaylee had been tirelessly posting flyers around the city, hoping for any leads. Amanda had run away from home, her phone was off, and her friends had no information. Initially, Kaylee thought it was just teenage rebellion, but as days passed, her concern grew into panic.
