The
Case of Kadijah,
16 years old
from
Denver, CO
Missing
Since
November
8, 2002
A
15 year-old
girl, Kadijah,
was discovered
missing from
her home after
she informed
her mother
she was going
to the mall.
Kadijah was
lured by the
promises of
a young male,
he was going
to buy her
clothes and
CD’s
while being
her boyfriend.
After a few
weeks of
communication,
Kadijah left
with the “boyfriend” who
was later
identified
as a pimp
that was traveling
the country
and luring
other girls.
Later, Kadijah
was taken
to Los Angeles
where she
was immediately
placed on
the street
with two
other girls.
According
to the pimp,
Kadijah was
to be prostituted
to “make
the money
she borrowed” and ‘to
show her
love” for
him. Kadijah
was prostituted
all along
the West
Coast and
later sent
to Florida
to meet
another
pimp. While
in Miami,
Kadijah
escaped
from
the associated
pimp, and
with no money,
clothing
or food,
she became
vulnerable
and so was
discovered
by an older
female pimp
who had no
association,
and this
woman made
her promises.
Kadiajh
was then
transported
to Chicago
and prostituted
on the streets.
After a
few weeks
in Chicago,
Kadijah
was approached
by a “john” to
commit
rude
sex
acts, whereas
she refused
and was
physically
assaulted
and struck
by the “john’s” truck
causing
severe
fractures
in her
hips.
Kadijah
was hospitalized
and a
titanium
rod cast
supported
her fractured
hips.
A few weeks
later,
the missing
girl was
found
and recovered
in Chicago
and
reunited
safely
with her
mother
in Denver.

and REUNITED).

CASE
FILE #002
The
Case of
Kevin,
20 years
old from
Encinitas,
CA
Missing
Since
August
6, 2003
A
20-year
old male
named Kevin
from the
Encinitas,
CA area.
Kevin had
been raised
in a middle-class
family and
was a gifted
student
with near
perfect
SAT scores
(verbal
780 and
math 800),
and while
Kevin was
always compassionate
and kind
to his family
and friends
he disappeared
after a
short argument
with his
parents
in August
2003. Kevin
had recently
been diagnosed
in the prodromal
stages of
schizophrenia
and had
never experienced
an episode
of psychosis. |
Despite
the
argument,
Kevin
met
with
his
friend,
David,
then
they
both
traveled
to meet
with
another
friend
just
inside
the
border
of Mexico
in Tijuana.
At approximately
9pm
that
night,
Kevin
and
David
returned
to the
border
of Mexico
to return
to California.
At the
entrance
point,
and
as a
safety
measure
for
a missing
adult,
INS
temporarily
detained
Kevin
because
his
parents
had
filed
a missing
persons
report.
The
report,
filed
with
the
San
Diego
police
department
earlier
also
included
a psychological
notice
that
Kevin
was
recently
diagnosed
with
Schizophrenia.
After
a few
hours
of waiting,
Kevin’s
friend
David
gave
him
$20.00
for
a trolley
fair
to return
to San
Diego
and
then
departed.
A few
hours
after
David
departed
the
San
Diego
evaluation
team
arrived
to the
border
office
and
spoke
with
INS
and
Kevin,
and
the
evaluation
subsequently
released
him.
The
parents
then
contacted
myself
in October
2003
to request
investigative
services
after
their
fruitless
attempts
in attaining
further
cooperation
from
the
San
Diego
PD and
US Embassy
in locating
their
son.
After
Kevin
reportedly
never
contacted
his
friends
or family,
the
family
had
become
terribly
distressed
about
his
possible
whereabouts.
Therefore,
in December
2003
I traveled
to Tijuana,
Mexico,
and
spoke
with
several
people
in the
area
where
Kevin
was
last
seen.
The
witnesses
provided
information
that
placed
Kevin
back
to the
scene
where
he was
seen
earlier
in the
evening
in August
with
his
friend
David.
On the
third
day
of the
investigation
our
findings
directed
us to
the
Tijuana
Police
and
then
to the
Tijuana
morgue.
A clerk
at the
morgue
had
identified
Kevin
as a
murder
victim
based
on the
flyer
we provided
to her
earlier
in the
afternoon.
Evidently,
the
same
night
after
Kevin
had
left
the
border
crossing
he had
met
his
fate
somewhere
in Tijuana.
Kevin’s
body
was
found
two
days
later
in a
small
village
outside
of Tijuana.
Unfortunately,
details
of the
murder
are
horrific.
Then,
most
disturbing,
is that
the
family
was
forced
to exhume
their
son’s
body
to transport
for
burial
in San
Diego
because
he had
been
buried
months
earlier
in a
John
Doe
gravesite.
Granted,
this
all
may
have
been
circumvented
had
the
US Embassy
in Tijuana
or the
San
Diego
Police
Department
conducted
periodic
inquiries
to the
morgue
for
information.
Yet
Kevin’s
mother
provided
months
ago
a detailed
flyer
from
our
office
for
both.
In fact,
the
US embassy
repeatedly
informed
Kevin’s
mother
they
were
checking
the
morgues,
jails
and
the
border
on a
daily
basis.
However,
as a
family
struggled
for
months
to find
answers,
there
is now,
at best,
closure
for
the
family.
