13-year-old vanishes after trip to VivoCity
Sofea’s mother made a Facebook post on Monday (29 Sept) morning appealing to the public to help her find her daughter.
She shared that the 13-year-old never made it home after meeting her friends at VivoCity on Sunday.

Sofea’s last recorded ez-link transaction was at HarbourFront MRT station around 4pm.
She was expected back home by 5pm, but by 7pm, she had still not returned.
Her parents searched late into the night — from VivoCity to Sentosa and even East Coast Park — but found no trace of her.
By midnight, they lodged a missing person report.

Sofea’s mother is convinced that her daughter did not run away from home.
“If she did, she would never leave home without her personal essentials — her travel facial products, her braces brush, her power bank, and her favourite hoodie,” she wrote, adding that all these items were left behind.
“This is why we know something is not right.”

13-year-old becomes uncontactable via phone, friends blocked
Attempts to call Sofea also failed.
By 10 to 11 pm, her friends discovered they had been blocked from her phone, and her phone location tracker was also switched off.
The family, who described this as completely out of character, remain desperate for answers.
“Please, if anyone has seen her or has any information, help us bring her home,” her mother wrote.
“She might be out there in a state of helplessness, and every second counts.”

Just a day after Sofea disappeared, another case emerged.
