Disappeared

A Father's Quest

Leah Peebles recently moved from her parents’ home in Texas to Albuquerque, NM, for a fresh start after years of struggling with drug addiction. Though she came from a supportive, tight-knit family, Leah had turned to drugs to cope after being molested as a toddler and raped as a teenager. Clean for the first time in years, Leah is eager to start her career as a hairstylist and get her life on track. But just a few weeks after arriving in Albuquerque, she steps out one night for a date and never returns. When the Peebles family feels the police are too slow to respond, Leah’s father decides to take matters into his own hands and hunt for her himself. He discovers Leah has fallen back into drugs and, worse yet, has turned to prostitution to support her habit. Rumors abound and the Peebles fear Leah has fallen victim to foul play. As he traverses Albuquerque’s underworld, seeing things he never thought he would, Mr. Peebles remains determined to search until he can bring her home.
