A little more than two weeks ago, an investigation into her disappearance led police to a home in Fort Lauderdale near Stranahan High School, where Sophie once briefly attended. A search warrant was executed.
"Now they're looking at this case as a very, very serious crime, either human trafficking, abduction or possibly murder," private investigator John Rode said. "This is the first indication that I've seen in the case that they're possibly looking into this case as a murder case."
Investigators dusted for fingerprints and interviewed three men inside the home, but no arrests were made. However, police didn't leave empty-handed. Twenty-five cellphones were seized, along with two computer towers, ammunition and a pair of headphones.
"Headphones which, of course, Sophie was wearing," Rode said.
