While the case of missing student Cindy Song has been in Penn State news since her November 2001 disappearance, the case remains unsolved. The Song case, along with two other cases, will be highlighted at 10 tonight during ABC's Primetime Thursday. All three cases include supernatural elements.

Song disappeared after returning home from Players Nite Club, 112 W. College Ave., on Halloween night in 2001.

Friends and co-workers became worried after not hearing from her the following day and alerted police of the disappearance, which evolved into an investigation that continues today.

The disappearance also garnered extensive media coverage because of the Song family's efforts to find their daughter and the use of a psychic by the police.

The majority of the interviewing and filming for the ABC special was done last October.

ABC spokesman Adam Pockriss said producers began researching missing-person cases and learned that victims' parents often contacted psychics in hopes of finding additional clues.

"This is one of the few cases where police were openly talking," he said.

Carla Baron, the psychic profiler who has worked on notable cases, including the Elizabeth Smart case, became involved with the Song case in August 2002.

Though Baron has been working on several other cases recently, she remains highly involved with the Song case, keeping in close contact with Detective Brian Sprinkle of the Ferguson Township Police Department.

"He and I are on top of this the whole time," she said.

Baron has also kept in touch with Song's friend Youngjoo Kim and keeps a Polaroid picture of Song, although it is currently in the possession of ABC studios.

"Cindy was the first case where I got emotionally involved," Baron said.

Since Song's disappearance, the case has been featured on TV shows Without a Trace, Psychic Detectives and Unsolved Mysteries.

Additionally, the Pennsylvania State Police held a press conference on Oct. 29, 2002, asking for help in the case.

Despite the attention, there is still criticism that the case has not received the same amount of attention as other notable cases, such as Elizabeth Smart's, because of Song's Korean heritage.

"Some get in the press more than others," Baron said. "She's just as American as all of them to me."

Tysen Kendig, Penn State spokesman, said the university has been doing anything it can to keep Song's name in the news and in people's memories.

"Cindy Song is still missing, so I think any program or publicity aimed at solving the case and locating her should be viewed as a positive," he said. "Anything that keeps this case fresh in people's minds is a good thing."

Last October, new evidence pointed investigators to Hugo Selenski's Wilkes-Barre property, where five bodies were found buried.

One of the bodies was originally thought to be Song's, but that was not the case.

Baron said at this point in the investigation, authorities need to start eliminating suspects and explanations.

However, she said that there is a large amount of information to filter through.

"There's information sharing that has to go on," she said. "We hope that each faction will deliver their part of the puzzle, including me."
