A missing girl was found inside a tractor-trailer at the U.S.-Mexico border near Texas in late August, officials said, adding that she might have been the victim of sex trafficking.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection said agents in Laredo, Texas, were able to “locate a missing female juvenile concealed inside a tractor-truck at the [Interstate-35] checkpoint.” The missing girl was reported missing in Odessa, Texas, and the Webb County Sheriff’s Office took the juvenile and driver into custody, officials said.
