Texas girl trafficked from Dallas Mavericks game listed as a 'runaway' before nude photos surfaced
Fox News
The teenage girl from Texas who was trafficked from a Dallas Mavericks game last month was first listed as a runaway before Oklahoma City authorities became aware of her naked photos online.
The event and location were searched that evening, a spokesperson for DPD said, though noting that Texas Family Code (51.03 b. 3) "dictates that missing juveniles are investigated as runaways unless there are circumstances which appear as involuntary such as a kidnapping or abduction."
Per code, police said those cases are to be filed where the juvenile resides. A report was generated by the Dallas Police Department, which assisted the North Richland Hills Police Department, which became the lead agency to investigate the girl’s disappearance because she lives in their jurisdiction.
