An Illinois family's monthlong search for its missing daughter has brought them to the Bronx. Shamari Brantley was last seen in late August. Her family says she struggles with her mental health and has disappeared before but never for this long. After weeks of searching, the family got a lead when Brantley's phone turned up at the Zerega Avenue train station in The Bronx.  However, there are still many unanswered questions about how that phone ended up more than 800 miles from their hometown in Wheaton, a suburb outside Chicago.
