A 15 year old girl disappeared from American Airlines Center while attending a Mavericks game with her father; the venue is also home to the NHL's Dallas Stars.
She went to use the restroom and never returned to her seat. Upon investigation, security cameras captured her leaving the venue with an unidentified male.
After a few months, the girl's parents finally discovered her whereabouts after seeing her in nude advertisements for sex trafficking online in Oklahoma City.
Thankfully, this story has a positive ending, as law enforcement was able to track down the girl and eventually find her over 200 miles away from the venue from which she was kidnapped, as well as make arrests of eight people involved.
"The family was frustrated," Fortenberry said. "After days of not getting any information from the Dallas Police Department and Dallas Police not taking any action, the family sought out the help of this agency in Houston.»
«That agency was able to help them locate the photograph of their daughter online within the same day," Fortenberry said.
«This girl was being sexually assaulted in a hotel room multiple nights," Fortenberry said. "Any time she could have been rescued from that sooner would have been better.»
"When a 40-something year old man walks in with a 15-year-old girl and rents multiple hotel rooms and then there is traffic coming in and out of those rooms, those are red flags," Fortenberry said.
