The mother of a young Texas woman who has been missing for months believes she’s been sold into a sex trafficking ring.
Jonni McElroy – whose 23-year-old daughter, Christina Morris, was last seen Aug. 30 – shared her worst fears with The National ENQUIRER as a grand jury prepared to hear testimony about Enrique Arochi, the last man to see her daughter alive.
The devastated mom said she’d been told that a woman like her daughter would fetch $100,000 in Mexico, just six hours south of where she went missing in Plano, Texas.
“I believe she may have been drugged and sold into sex trafficking,” Jonni said.
“I search eight hours a day looking for her because I truly believe she’s still alive. And I truly believe Enrique knows exactly where she is.”
Christina was last seen on surveillance video with Arochi in Plano around 4 a.m. on Aug. 30.
According to court documents, Arochi lied to police several times, cleaned his car and had a bite mark on his arm the morning after she vanished.
Sources say cops believe he made a pass at Christina and she rebuffed him. While Arochi has only been charged with an unrelated theft, law enforcement sources said he’s the prime suspect in her disappearance.
Jonni said: “We just want our daughter home. I believe she is alive, and I’m scared for her because I know she is in so much pain. Please bring her back!”
