Quoting my post 222 that referenced a kidnapping / drugging . Copied post below the link.
Found Deceased - AL - Aniah Haley Blanchard, 19, Auburn, Lee County, 23 Oct 2019 #4 *Arrest*
IF IY was involved in prostitution aka trafficking, it’s quite possible that’s what he was doing in Auburn that night.
At his prior arrest in February he was captured with a female who had prior arrests for prostitution. I would bet that was the “guise” for the crime they committed. Prostitution robbery.
I didn’t realize it but apparently trafficked girls are moved from city to city. I found this article very interesting about the Alabama area specifically and how this happens. It’s slightly off topic. It’s a great in depth article about the issue, how it’s being handled and what needs more attention.
An APR News Special: "Selling Kids: Human Trafficking in Alabama"
For some of the survivors, their trafficker started out as a stranger.
“He drugged me and I woke up in a hotel room, naked, on a bed, and had no idea how I got there or anything,” said “Ace,” who was trafficked along the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
“So, if I can find five girls who are in Atlanta on Monday, and Birmingham on Tuesday, and Chattanooga on Wednesday, that’s something we would consider a strong indicator of trafficking,” said Gary Warner, director of the UAB Computer Forensics Research Lab in Birmingham.
The trafficking roadshow Warner is describing typically starts in Atlanta. From Atlanta, the next step is often interstate 20, which runs from Georgia west into Alabama. It also splits into I-59 running between Birmingham northeast to Chattanooga. Warner said those stretches of highway have already earned a reputation among human trafficking support groups.
If that’s true, the total could be closer to 12,000, just in Alabama, just in 2017. Lim said the point is that authorities know what they know, but that's it.
When it comes to sex trafficking in Alabama, Warner said Alabamians are more likely to use the web to arrange hook-ups. Particularly in larger cities like Mobile, Birmingham and Huntsville.
“[It's] largely because we don’t have the same organized crime structure as some of the larger cities,” Warner said.
Teresa Collier says she concerned familial trafficking in Alabama isn’t just an issue—it could very well be the issue.
