How does a 15-year-old girl go to a bathroom at an NBA arena, never make it back to her seat, and ends up being found a week and a half later being sold for sex in a hotel more than 200 miles away? That’s what the family of the teen want to know -- especially because they say there are so many people, including police -- who could have prevented the incident from happening.
– How does a 15-year-old girl go to a bathroom at an NBA arena, never make it back to her seat, and end up being found a week and a half later being sold for sex in a hotel more than 200 miles away?
While the teen’s family was relieved that she was found alive, they’re angry over how the situation was handled, according to their attorney, Zeke Fortenberry. He sent a letter last week to multiple parties he believes could have done things differently, possibly even preventing the situation from escalating.
The father called North Richland Hills police, but was told by the law enforcement agency that it couldn’t help because the the incident happened in Dallas, Fortenberry said.North Richland Hills police said that they received the report about the missing teen at 1:27 a.m., about six hours after the game started. The department said the teen was entered in the national missing person database by 3:24 a.m. on April 9.
