She's currently producing the documentary Where is Janteyl, the story of a pregnant teen who mysteriously vanished in New Castle County, Delaware in 2010. Unlike other cases of missing pregnant women that received extensive local and national media coverage, Janteyl's story went unnoticed. With help from the Johnson family, The Black and Missing Foundation, and The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the documentary highlights the case and the family's desperate search for answers.
