MONICA REACHES OUT TO THE FAMILY OF A MISSING WOMAN ON AN ALL-NEW EPISODE OF ABC FAMILY'S "MONICA THE MEDIUM," AIRING TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6 AT 8:00PM ET/PT

Burbank, CA (September 16, 2015) - Monica feels compelled to reach out to the family of a missing woman to see if she can help on an all-new episode of "Monica the Medium," airing Tuesday, October 6th (8:00 PM -ET/PT) on ABC Family.

Monica finds a missing-persons flier in town and feels compelled to meet the family to see if she can give any help. But because she's never done this before, she calls her medium mentor, Maureen Hancock, to come join her. Will they come up with leads to provide the family hope or closure?

Plus, Monica has to go against her own feelings to relay a message to two girls who lost three friends in a drunk-driving accident. Later she reads Krista's date and has a disastrous one on her own.

Monica the Medium follows Monica, a college junior, navigating friends, family, relationships - and the fact that she's a medium and can talk to dead people. Her uncommon vocation provides an endless supply of emotional and engaging stories, with a unique millennial perspective. The show is produced by Dave Caplan's Trooper Entertainment in association with Lionsgate TV. Caplan will serve as executive producer alongside Malachi McGlone. It's in production in State College, PA.
