What's the story on human trafficking in this area? Not saying it's related, but always worth noting.

It would have been so simple for the investigating officer to ask for the hotel video on January 5th. I am sure the hotel would not have a problem with it and the officer didn't even need any further info from the family to do it. He knew from the initial report that she was supposed to have been at the hotel that night.
If the officer had even bothered to run a simple check on the man who supposedly saw her last when "dropping her off' he would have known what a violent criminal this man was. Background checks are common practice in the area I live in, even when a person is stopped for a minor traffic violation and it only takes a few minutes to run it.
Lubbock has lots of missing person cases. In my opinion, they have no excuse to be poorly prepared for situations such as this one. Something must be done to get police departments in Texas up to speed on how missing kids should be handled. It is just to convenient to blame the victim or the parents instead of conducting a proper investigation.
I'll try to hold my tongue about the delay until Elizabeth is found since complaining won't help. At least she may be found close-by unless he handed her off to someone.
Does anyone know what her boyfriend, (the son), has to say? Where was he during all of this?
Respectfully, BBM. I'm assuming that VE went to the hotel to look for her daughter after being told that she had been dropped off at home and her daughter was not there.
I must have missed the part where VE lied -- please direct me to what she lied about.
Also, please remember that WS is a victim-friendly forum. And, VE is considered to be a victim. Bashing of victims in any case is NOT allowed.
This is so horrifying...I can't imagine how scared EE must have been. I can't imagine seeing video of my daughter being so afraid like this. I hope they are able to find her soon. I'd love for her to have gotten away from him & to be in hiding but I know the odds are against that scenario.
My nearly 13 y/o daughter really wants to start babysitting to earn some extra cash. After seeing this I think I will just pay her to do chores around the house. This is too scary.
It sounds to me like he done or tried to do something sexually to Elizabeth in the hotel room and it scared Elizabeth, so she ran out of the hotel room. Holding her shoes and attempting to put on her coat.
He ran after her because he was afraid if she got away she would tell someone.
He caught her, stuck her and the car and did something awful to her.
