There's a case locally where a teen girl vanished into thin air after leaving work. Her car was found backed into an abandoned house. No body or trace of her has ever been found. There have been some possible sightings of her over the years, and there's been suspicion that she was taken and put into a human trafficking ring in NYC. It's scary yes, but it can happen anywhere.Sarahhttp://onlinedegree.botw.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056075368630933905.post-53173638013394933952012-07-03T19:10:54.619-05:002012-07-03T19:10:54.619-05:00I've traveled to several countries before.

Liam Neeson’s character has a daughter that vacations abroad, and she gets kidnapped by sex traffickers. And that gives him an excuse to raise all sorts of chaos upon the people that take his daughter. She wasn't studying abroad, though. It’s just a movie. Its events didn’t actually happen. I mean... I’m not terrified to research things simply because I saw Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.Sarahhttp://onlinedegree.botw.org/noreply@blogger.com
