“I know she’s crying for me,” Mark Hamilton said. “It’s been almost a month."
His 16-year-old daughter Alecia left to visit with friends one April night and never came home.
"I want no parent to go through what I have felt and am still feeling,” Hamilton said.
Hamilton said Alecia loves her horse and grandparents and would never abandon them by choice.
"I know my daughter has to be held against her will or worse.”
He fears she may have been lured away by someone preying on young girls.
"I don't know what they're doing to her mind. I don't know what they're doing to her body."
Over the past month, Alecia has been spotted several times near some of the motels along FM 1960. And while the sightings haven't led to anything so far, they give her dad reason to hope.
"I go every day searching for my daughter until I drop from exhaustion. I cry myself to sleep. I wake up crying. I find my new hope and I head out to search for her again."
Angel Garcia, the founder of 1st Priority Search and Recovery, works undercover to try and rescue kids from Houston's burgeoning sex trade. He agreed to talk if we hid his face.
"All these kids are to them is money,” Garcia said. “And if you try to bring them back home, they will hurt you."
But Mark Hamilton is on a mission. "And I will not quit searching until I have you home."
