Climbs stories with Nancy Grace on Sirius XM Triumph channel 132.

In the last hour's investigators released surveillance video in the mysterious case of a young

and you know Nancy a lot is made out of this of the parts of the story that just seem unbelievable you mentioned the two women then you've got the guy in Detroit

somebody that she had been talking to tried to meet up with that the week that she went missing they had had contact but they never did meet up in California

then she goes missing this so-called super mom and I'm not calling into question her character anything else it's just this is a I'm watching the video

that it comes out the surveillance video and to me looks like she's panic running side to side trying to figure out where do I go now

so to me that video actually backs up the idea that she had been tortured and terrorized for a number of weeks the woman lost 20 pounds in three weeks

she was tattooed she was branded her nose was broken and now she finally breaks free she's still binded together and she's just trying to find where do I go now at 420 in the morning

that's what the video looks like to me you know I want to go to Tim Ballard human trafficking expert with the operation underground railroad Tim thank you so much for being with us

everyone is claiming that her story is a lie and I agree that her story sounds far fetched in what what disturbs me the most about her story Tim Ballard are two things one her foot her foot bothers me

and I'll tell you why her foot bothers me because when she was found she stated she fought back against her attackers two women and she cut her foot but when she was admitted to the hospital there was no evidence of any such of an injury

also thanksgiving day why would kidnappers who had beaten her branded her tortured her bound her chained her starved her broken her nose

suddenly decide well it's Thanksgiving let's let her go thanksgiving day would only have significance in that scenario to her

so she reappeared on Thanksgiving day that psychological clue is significant to me what does it mean I don't know and for right now police are standing by her and therefore I will do the same

so Tim Ballard how does human trafficking enter into this equation hi Nancy thanks so much yeah there's a couple thoughts I have notwithstanding some of the strange kind of facts that you point out you know when you're deep

briefing people who have been trafficked from from in human trafficking which I've done so many times it is very difficult they've been they've been through an experience that makes it almost impossible to remember every fact and they get things confused

they've been rewired and so I think we need to give her some time to kind of let the truth come out and consider the mental instability she's probably going through because of potential trauma

the other thing that concerns me and I think has a has a human trafficking angle is where this happened this is an emerald triangle of northern California I worked I worked in that I worked undercover in that area

it's a high drug smuggling area cultivation area for cannabis for marijuana and human trafficking and drug trafficking simply go hand in hand I mean when you have a group of criminals who are willing to break the line they're already doing that I've seen these guys what they realize is it look I can sell I can sell marijuana I can sell a couple kilos of marijuana one time

but if I can get my hands on a on a person on a girl on a woman on a child I can sell that child that product if you will multiple times 20 times a day it's much more profitable and so once they kind of recognize that and they already have a taste for crime we see them cross over so when it's happening in this high drug area I think it's at least something to consider and something to look at as you know a more likely scenario than others when it comes to a potential human trafficking case

you know I'm trying to take in everything that you just said if that were true in this scenario Tim Ballard then why would they have let her go and why was she never sexually assaulted she says she was not and the hospital supports that you know I wish I had more facts on the case I wish I was the case agent in the case so I could I could get into the what the why I would want to ask her to be an attorney who I was for the cause of the case

the what the why.
