Also Sacramento is a huge hub for human trafficking. I pray she is still found safe. Fear she was taken and sold or maybe drugged up and being kept somewhere. These older adults had no business going to a young adult/teen party in the woods. It’s weird, I feel like they could’ve gone with the malicious intent sell drugs to the teens and/or look for a teen who was alone to traffic
Respectfully, although there are a myriad of scenarios that may have contributed to or directly caused KR's disappearance, I believe human trafficking is extremely unlikely to be one of them. This seems to eventually find its way into discussion of every missing young woman on this forum, and almost never is. If you make a list of probable candidates for human trafficking, Kiely would probably check zero boxes. A middle-class teen who lives at her middle-class home with parents, and has graduated high school and is college-bound, who has enough community connections that an entire town is going to be looking for her if she disappears, is not going to get snatched out of a crowd, and taken for trafficking, when there are tons of at-risk teens that no one would ever miss. Additionally, typically, victims are groomed over time, and not just snatched off the streets, despite what may be depicted in some Lifetime movie. Does it ever happen? Sure. Is it likely? No. JMO
Although there is no defining characteristic that all human trafficking victims share, traffickers around the world frequently prey on individuals who are poor, vulnerable, living in an unsafe or unstable situation, or are in search of a better life. Trafficking victims are deceived by false promises of love, a good job, or a stable life and are lured or forced into situations where they are made to work under deplorable conditions with little or no pay. In the United States, trafficking victims can be American or foreign citizens. Some of the most vulnerable populations for trafficking in the United States include American Indian/Alaska Native communities, lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender-questioning individuals, individuals with disabilities, undocumented migrants, runaway and homeless youth, temporary guest-workers and low-income individuals.
