But Jones and her family have not been content to sit back and wait for police to call with information, said Aurora Police Sgt. Chris Poppe, who is investigating the case.
“Sabrina and her family have taken a really aggressive part in this, a lot of times going out to Colfax to show people pictures,” Poppe said Tuesday.
Jones thinks her daughter is alive, but fears she is the hands of sex traffickers.
On her trips to East Colfax, a number of people have told Jones, and other family members, they have seen the teen on a desolate stretch lined with cheap motels, where prostitution and drugs are rampant, she said.
Those witnesses have told Jones that her daughter’s captors keep her drugged.
Jones shared that information with police, but when detectives searched for the teen on Colfax Avenue, Stine’s captors took her to Kansas City, Kan.
