Erica goes on to become a private investigator to be in a better position to find Molly. When her daughters’ fingerprint and shirt are discovered in an abandoned house, Erica feels that she is closer to unraveling the mystery behind her daughter’s disappearance.
Erica links the evidence to Lydia, a well-known drug addict. Using her detective skills, Erica traces Lydia only to find her being attacked by someone who seems keen to eliminate her. It is at this point that Erica meets Lydia’s stepbrother Max. Max is also a private investigator, and while he knows that her sister is in trouble, he is sure that she couldn’t have kidnapped Molly.
