Police said this weekend they weren't discarding the possibility that human trafficking played a role in the disappearance of a former Miss Brazil who hasn't contacted her family since September.

"At this moment we can't rule out anything, not even the possibility she was a victim of human trafficking," police investigator Marcos David Salem told Brazilian TV.

Police began investigating the case Friday, after Thomsen's family reported her missing the previous day. Police said they had no leads.

If any British authorities try to institute an inquiry into this woman's disappearance, the Saudis will cancel that fighter jet contract.

Another hint at human trafficking ping.

I'm not very skilled at posting pictures. Thank goodness others here are.

She's a beautiful woman.

If they find her, will she be the formerly missing former Miss Brazil?

she's almost as beautiful a person as I am- which is saying a lot- she should be honored that she's almost as handsome as me.

The same Missing Person alert was once issued when I was hiding the entire Brazilian Beach Volleyball Team in my bedroom.

MI5 should cross-reference private or chartered direct flights out of the London area airports to countries that don't ask many questions (likely Africa or the ME.) She probably was drugged in some London disco and tossed in a limo and whisked off to an outbound jet headed overseas.

Human trafficing sounds so nice, neat...clean even. Like they're all sitting round in cars being driven around.

It's slavery with the only escape being death.

I've always suspected human trafficking is a huge industry. There must be many bad things going on that we don't know about. Like Hitler making lampshades out of human skin.
