Michigan State Police Lt. Mike Shaw told WXYZ: “We’re going to take a look at what’s next: Did a crime like human trafficking actually occur, or was it a domestic violence situation? I will ask her if this is the case,” he told WXYZ. “I don’t want to use the term her abduction to mean someone grabbed her and took her to a place. What started out as a relationship ended up being held against her will and trafficked. It might turn out like this.”
