This true story type television film has a poor script but is highly charged to manipulate your emotions regarding perverts or child killers.
It wants to be a social issue movie but a television series like Quincy used to do things better.
Shelly Long is a loving mother whose mother disappears suddenly one day. We are presented with a city where danger lurks at every corner from the opening shot as she goes to pick her daughter up when she is out with her friends.
The film gives us a very obvious, leary villain so we can rule him out immediately but there is another more helpful suspect which turns out to be a person of interest later on.
It is a good job that Long's husband is a former policeman, because every time she rings up the police with any wide eyed theory, the police turn immediately even many months after her daughter's disappearance.
This is just a poor film with a horrible script.
