^ I'm aware of that, but sex trade is the primary trafficking industry in Michigan (metro-Detroit) and Toledo.
I saw this report on local WDIV (Channel 4) last week. I know that Chelsea's family believes that human trafficking is a possibility to explain Chelsea's disappearance (and the potential for her to still be alive), but Chelsea doesn't fit the typical prototype of the very young women (pre-teens) who are inducted into sex slavery. :moo:

Traffickers look for vulnurable people. This can be homeless teens, or women from other countries traveling alone looking for a better future, etc.
I am not sure if they would look for victims at parties like the one Chelsea attended. I think it is possible. Being injured, without transportation,
separated from her friends, she was vulnurable at that moment.
But I am not sure how this scenario would fit with the clothing that has been found (if it is indeed Chelsea's).
Re: The fire. Would all residential fires be investigated, i.e. for insurance claims? I wonder if there was a thorough investigation of the house fire mentioned earlier. Suppose the fire was deliberately set to get rid of evidence of a crime. Do all municipalities have resources to investigate suspicious house fires? Were the premises of that fire thoroughly searched, or was the incident simply regarded as accidental and didn't require serious investigation?
