Description

"Jessie vanished in 2006 from North Las Vegas, like a drop of rain on the desert floor. In May 2005, she had come from Kamploops to the Las Vegas Valle. A month later, Jessie moved in with her boyfriend, Peter Todd - a man Jessie's parents, Dwight Foster and Grant, barely knew. When Jessie went missing - she last spoke by phone with her mother on March 24, 2006, and was last seen by Todd on April 2, 2006 - Grant filed a report with North Las Vegas Police. After learning Jessie had been arrested in June 2005 and had an outstanding warrant for prostitution, Grant was certain their second-oldest daughter - a former honor roll student - was a victim of sex trafficking. Police searched Todd's home. They interviewed him twice. He said Jessie took her belongings and drove off. Authorities didn't find anything suspicious, North Las Vegas Police Lt. Tim Bedwell said. They tracked down every lead they could, even tips from psychics, but all the police ever found were aninal bones in the desert. They even got two retired officers to search every recent missing-persons case for a link. They found nothing. Grant and Foster insisted Todd was a pimp and blamed him for Jessie's disappearance. With no evidence to indicate otherwise, police cleared Todd of wrongdoing. Jessie's case grew cold."
