Court and police records show truck driver Darien McKinley directed the teen to have sex with at least one unknown truck driver at a truck stop. The teen told police McKinley, 31, also made her solicit customers using his truck’s CB radio...
The 17-year-old girl from Louisville, Ky., evidently did not attract much attention when she wandered through a truck stop in Georgetown, Ky., looking for customers for prostitution. Police in Highland Park, Mich., saw the girl with McKinley days before she was rescued, but they said it was hard to tell what was going on.
“The lack of understanding of what goes into this crime and this victimization sometimes makes it easier to overlook,” said Staca Shehan, director of the case analysis division at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
