Just found this website re The United Nations Office On Drugs And Crime - it's very comprehensive.
I just read on another site the reason that victims of these trafficking rings are tortured, etc., is to gain the submission of the victim; to, in essence, beat down the victim emotionally so as to control/manipulate the victim into submitting to whatever it is they want the victim to do. This could explain why, if Sherri is the woman that was spotted at the rest stop, why she would not acknowledge who she was to the woman who was trying to help her.
Obviously, not all the details have come out regarding this case, but I'm thinking it's more likely as more information comes out, that this was some sort of sex trafficking issue gone awry. According to the recent interview of the gentleman who handled the ransom issue for the family, it does seem oddly coincidental that the ransom issue came to a head at just the time Sherri was 'released.'
My heart goes out to the family. I cannot imagine the horror Sherri must have undergone. The fact that she survived seems to be a true testament to her inner strength and courage.
