IMO, she is more likely to have been abducted by a RSO than a trafficker. However, with California leading the country in trafficking crimes; I don't believe it can be ruled out. Sadly, we really have no idea what happened to SP. But I have to respectfully disagree. The culture of trafficking is changing and there is no single profile. Younger victims are more susceptible to grooming and often times drugs; whereas adult victims can be forced into trafficking with no prior drug use. I posted this earlier, but really feel that it warrants again. Myths regarding trafficking can contribute to a false sense of security. It really can happen to anyone. The prevalence of trafficking in California (first link is specific to Shasta County) and the close proximity to the college, could have made SP a target given her youthful, attractive appearance. MOO (supported by a few facts below). BTW, the FBI is now involved. Prayers for SP's safe return to her family.
Human trafficking is the second largest and fastest growing criminal enterprise - just below drug trafficking. Criminals realize this is a more profitable business because drugs can only be sold once, and humans can be sold over and over and over...
Children under the age of 18 induced into commercial sex
Adults (age 18 or over) induced into commercial sex through force, fraud, or coercion
Children and adults induced to perform labor or services through force, fraud, or coercion
There is no single profile for trafficking victims; trafficking occurs to adults and minors in rural, suburban, or urban communities across the country. Victims of human trafficking have diverse socio-economic backgrounds, varied levels of education, and may be documented or undocumented. Traffickers target victims using tailored methods of recruitment and control they find to be effective in compelling that individual into forced labor or commercial sex.

Traffickers almost never go for women like Sherri, not that it isn't totally unheard of. If they kidnap anyone, it is usually in the course of being lured or with other factors involved (like drugs.) Sherri's disappearance generates too much media attention and with the trafficking busts in California recently, it is just unlikely that was her fate. If LE thought there was a chance, the FBI would have the case by now.
