Over the weekend I came across an unsettling amount of kidnapping posts on Facebook. I know that kidnappings happen, but most missing persons cases I have followed are mostly due to a few things: someone known to the victim has murdered them and hid the body, drug overdose/suicide in a remote location, or runaway.
Please, please, please, check on your friends and family if you haven’t heard from them in a while.
Also, always be aware of your surroundings.

A woman took to Facebook to try and locate her teen daughter. She said she was dropped off at the airport in Vegas but the teen never boarded her flight. Her mother later announced that her daughter had been kidnapped from the airport and was in California.
