This thread is at page 47 now it will go to 48. Websleuths moderators usually close the threads at page 49 or sooner. Maricela's story is very important IMO because there are so many things involved like how people went out of thier way from Websleuths to help this girl and the things those peple who tried to help find her went through and the emotions that the rest of us felt reading it all. So I hope Maricela's thread is not closed for good, because no one is contributing to her story only the occasional person with somehing to discuss. And unfortunately there have been no developments in her case in years. Anyways here is a news article that shows some horrendous lengths traffickers will go to keep thier victims from getting away. This resonates with me because of what happened to Maricela, IMO her situation was like HA's in the article where as she harrowingly and luckily escaped where as Maricela could not.
A young woman made two harrowing attempts to escape her vicious pimp -- including jumping out a third-story window -- before being rescued by a ride-share driver who engaged in a gunfight with the man, prosecutors in Seattle said.
