This subject is especially close to my heart as we personally feel our granddaughter - who has been missing for almost 3 years - may have fallen to become a victim of human trafficking. She lived in an area overrun with gangs and drugs and was "in love" with a boy who could have easily lured her into this lifestyle. The last confirmed sighting of her was at an apartment where a "Sugar Daddy" pimp lived. Now we believe she could be anywhere from Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Columbus to Detroit.
