Hello listeners, I'm your host Amara and this is Black Girl God, a true crime podcast.

On this episode of Black Girl Gone, we tell the story of Natanalie Perez,

who was 19 years old when she disappeared from Miami, Florida on June 1, 2012.

Natanalie had gone to Miami from her home in Central Florida to pursue her dreams,

but not long after her arrival in Miami, she became the victim of a sex-traveling ring

that serviced rich men at five star hotels.

Natanalie's life had gone out of control and she was afraid something bad was going to happen to her.

Ten years later, Natanalie is still missing and her family wants to know where she is and what happened to her.

This is Natanalie's story.

If you follow me on social media, then you may have seen my post about help you find me.

For those who don't follow us, help you find me is a database where you can create an if-I-go missing file,

where you can store personal information that can only be accessed by someone that you trust.

When this company approached me about a partnership, I was really 100% in from the beginning

because the surface that they're providing can be a game changer when someone was missing.

Over the past 53 episodes of Black Girl Gone, I wonder how many times something like help you find me

could have helped in the early hours of an investigation.

I mean, life insurance and wills, it can be hard to make plans for when something happens to someone that you love.

And no one ever wants to be in the position where they're looking for someone that they care about.

But when that does happen, you want to be able to have as much information about their last movements

and their last communications as possible.

And most of the cases that I cover, it's way more than 72 hours before the police will even get involved.

And so being able to access personal information quickly can make a huge difference in the investigation.
