Two missing girls found and rescued
Agents in an undisclosed country helped police track down a missing 14-year-old girl, her trafficker was also holding an 18-year-old girl in a locked room.
14-year-old Adya went missing in March and her father pursued every avenue to find her, including reaching out to our agents for help in April.
After extensive efforts to locate her, our agents alongside local police, rescued her earlier this month. The rescue lead to information about another girl being held by the same trafficker.
The next day, the 18-year-old was found in a house near a large brothel district being held in a room that was locked from the outside.
Both girls were being sexually exploited. Adya has been reunited with her father. Our teams are working with the other survivor to locate and reunite her with her family. She is being cared for by the country’s child services department.
