The Disappearance of the Detective’s Daughter | The Case of Denise Lee | UNSEEN

“She planted so much evidence in that car” - On January 17th, 2008, at 3:30 PM, a worried husband calls police to report his wife, Denise Lee, missing after he finds their two young kids alone in their North Port Florida home. Less than 3 hours later, at 6:13 PM, a 911 dispatcher receives a call from Denise herself, who's stolen her kidnapper's phone and is disguising her call as a conversation with her abductor. But, before cops can do anything, the call abruptly ends. Denise's father, Rick Goff, jumps into action. As a seasoned cop, he will do everything in his power to track down his daughter, and Denise will use every bit of her courage and intelligence to leave clues behind in a race against the clock to ultimately bring a killer to justice.
