While locating the missing 21-year-old woman, police likewise spoke with two girls also located at Marven Gardens Inn. Thus far, this story is still developing; although so many cases like this exist throughout the United States and overseas.
The 33-year-old man is in police custody; however, his methods of preying on victims for human trafficking are far from original.
