PORT HURON, Mich. — Federal agents said they found a teenage girl who had been missing for more than a year hidden inside of a closet.
A U.S. Marshals fugitive team found the 14-year-old girl in a Port Huron, Michigan home on Tuesday and took her to the hospital, where she was found to be pregnant, The Associated Press reported.
“She was crying,” Deputy U.S. Marshal Robert Watson told the Detroit Free Press. “She didn’t know where she was going to go. She was pretty terrified. And she was afraid of losing her baby.”
The victim, who was not identified, was initially reported missing in September 2021 by the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office, WDIV reported. Watson told the station that his office only received a referral to the case on Feb. 7, and successfully recovered the teenager within hours.
“Information was that she may be being trafficked,” Watson told the station. “There was some evidence of sexual abuse and the belief that she was pregnant and in danger. She’d been missing since September 2021, so I got the case (Tuesday), began working on it immediately, and we recovered her about 5:30 that same day.”
The teenager was found hiding in a hallway closet behind some clothes, and the four adults inside the home acted surprised, according to the Detroit Free Press. Watson told the outlet that the victim was estimated to be four to five months pregnant.
Investigators are planning to file parental kidnapping charges against the teenager’s biological mother, who did not have custody, the AP reported. Investigators said the mother found the teenager and moved her from house to house.
The 14-year-old was reunited with her biological father, the Detroit Free Press reported.
“She was ecstatic about that,” Watson told the newspaper. “She was just afraid that if she was found she would go back in the system.”
This is when birthing person is appropriate, since a real mother would never pimp out her child.
“the victim was estimated to be four to five months pregnant..”
“There was some evidence of sexual abuse”
Some stellar detective work there.
Some people need some real punishment.
Some people are not fit to love on this planet
That would be the system that lost her over a year ago.
I bet the acting was stellar.
If it were me, I would have gotten her out of the house, kept those other four adults in, and then took a flamethrower to the place.
Got a seventeen-month-old case and solved it the same day. I’d say that was pretty decent detective work, myself.
Local link with more info.
Very bizarre.
Amish?
Pwrhaps, but this may not fir the case either. I know a man who was employed by the US goverment on the logistic side of the war with the communists in Central America. He was stationed in San Salvador. He rented a small two story house that came with a full time house keeper. maid and cook. She was a friendly, attractive Salvadorian woman in her thirties. Her young teen daughter lived with her, After a couple months the mom straight up told the American she wished him to have a physical and emotional relationship with her daughter who was now near to 16. She said her daughter was becoming involved with ‘young criminals’ and she wished her daughter to be educated by a real man as to what a man was and how men and women should relate to each other. If pregnancy resulted that was fine as Americans made good healthy babies and her daughter with her aid would learn to be a mother and raise her child so she would not have time for hanging out with ‘bad elements’. And yes the Americano did as asked and yes a child did reult from the mentorship.
Mormon.
They need to be SHOT !!!
The local cops are “disappointed” that the US Marshals didn’t notify them they had a search warrant and were going back to the house.
The fact that it took the Marshals six hours when the local talent failed for six months means telling them would have been a bad idea.
Michigan cops. Oh well.
They are really nice.
Well, who the hell had been working that case previously?
“Information was that she may be being trafficked,”
Take a bow Biden it’s some of your handy work and she’s one they found.
She’s been missing since Sep 21, and was thought to be pregnant.
They rescued her this Tuesday, and she’s worried about the pregnancy?
How long has she been pregnant?
