Speaking of foul play - it is quietly believed that there is an active human trafficking ring here in Utah right now. Women in Jerika's age bracket have gone missing the most, followed by young tweens (boys and girls). The women who have gone missing in the last 3 years are between 21-25, usually single with no children, attractive and pretty. They usually go missing when running, out doing errands (like groceries or putting gas in the car), and are rarely ever dressed for weather in the cold months. Like they've just gone out for a bit and are planning on going home or to work after a quick stop somewhere.
Emilie Rains is one of these I've noticed.
Emilie Rains
I do know that one of my friends was almost taken from her backyard while sunbathing this summer, by a man in black and a mask - but her dog got in the way and took a chunk out of his arm. The dog saved her; she was able to get into the house and call the police while the man got into a van. They were able to pull DNA from the dog bite, but he wasn't in the system.
She is in the same age bracket and has the same look as Emilie and Jerika - fit, attractive, single, no kids.
Any other patterns that have been seen? I've been monitoring the Utah Missing Persons page, and I've also seen flyers up in grocery stores and on poles with a couple of other women that aren't on the page. There's a dark haired woman I saw a poster for the other day, 23-years-old, not native to Utah. She went missing in the fall 2018, I believe. I'll try to find more information on her, maybe get a pic of the flyer when I'm out this week.
