Her mother says that he’s brainwashing their daughter and using her to make money off of a sympathetic public. Sophie Long was last seen on July 12, 2021 in Seguin Texas. Her father has been on the run with her ever since. Is he a hero who is doing whatever he can to protect his daughter from a predator and a broken legal system?
