The trafficking stuff always seemed far-fetched to me and a fantasy.
I also used to support the trafficking theory as a possibility until this year because of the Jazz pictures and reports of Yellow's behavior (I'm now 50/50 on her falling or being pushed overboard). One factor which speaks against her having been sex-trafficked is, she doesn't fit the profile of a typical sex trafficking victim. For example, in rich European countries such as Germany, sex trafficking victims (and the majority of prostitutes in general) come from Eastern European countries such as Albania or 3rd world countries like Nigeria. They are commonly from poor areas of their country and/or in a precarious situation that makes them more vulnerable to becoming victims of trafficking. Oftentimes they don't even speak English and/or the language of the country they get trafficked to.
Most children who are kidnapped by child sex predators are murdered within 24 hours of their abduction. This is very likely what happened to Johnny. The guy who knocked on Noreen's door in 1997 was either a conman or a straight-up hallucination.
Yeah...it does happen to women (and, very rarely, men) from developed countries, but that's more likely to be domestic and still usually involves more vulnerable people. Abducting a Westerner aboard a cruise ship would be possible if the trafficker had the right connections, but it would also be significantly harder than just victimizing a random runaway from San Salvador. Most traffickers aren't brilliant criminal masterminds, just confidence-men/women and street thugs who either entrap or abduct people who either don't know what to look out for or can't defend themselves. Usually, people in one of those two categories who won't be missed or who come from an area without the resources to pursue the case.
Golly, what a way to misspell a name!
The selling into sex trafficking thing is just the fantasies of sex starved True Crime podcast listening women and also what whores say when they don’t want to admit they were junky whores.
To me, the explanation that makes the most sense so far is that Burke caused his sister's death and the parents covered it up so they wouldn't lose not just their second child as well, but also their social status, the image they had built up of their family, basically to keep the rest of their world from crashing down around them as well.
This is the only situation that makes sense to me because I don't believe Patsy would lie to protect her husband if he had (accidently) killed JB, but I can believe that she would lie to protect her only remaining child. People shit on the Ramsey's and maybe they have a point, but I do think Patsy loved both her children very much. Her grief over her daughter was real. Plus it's not that uncommon in cases of missing babies and young children that the child seemingly died by accident or neglect, and the parents and family choose to cover it up so they don't lose what they have left (rarely can this be proven in court, though, without a body). The Ramsey's made the mistake of keeping JB in the home instead of taking the body away and hiding it somewhere.
To be fair, it's not like Russell Greer is pulling Sydney Sweeney when he goes to a brothel.
You say that as though he'd be successful.
