00:03my sister was taken when's the last time you saw her when i was eight they believe her
00:09disappearance is linked to sex trafficking you believe it on your sister a man contacted
00:15the tip line marine said she was working a corner told him she thought her name was charlie
00:22half the time i think if i turn around fast enough the light's just right i'll see her
00:28always right there over my shoulder and she still is you want my help
00:44hey
00:47hey where we headed today about three new red x page ads for potential working girls
00:53that's the same site where that marine said he met shari they're all east side
00:58none of them look too good for her but it could be a match
01:01all right so east side
01:03east side
01:26this is her at six
01:33she'd be 28 now
01:56i mean it's been 22 years since she was taken it's possible she's still with her abductor or
02:02she could have been sold working for a new pimp
02:06she's still being sold
02:08she did not touch her
02:09she's still with him
02:13she's still with him
02:14she's still with him

02:15so what do you
02:16that shari
02:17her
02:28oh, like
02:41or she could have gotten lost again drugs alcohol the likelihood that she was abused
02:46further by someone else is high
02:52she could be anywhere anything
03:01but i swear i'd know her if i saw her
03:22you sure this is it no i'm just guessing
03:28she goes by lila on the site can't really see her face clearly but

05:39jimani
05:40this herself is shari
05:42the girl on the left
05:44that's my sister
06:00Prince popped in the system
06:02her real name is Laura Kerr
06:03multiple priors for solicitation
06:05and possession, no family
06:07I don't understand, you were here running her?
06:09what? we're eliminating her as possible
06:12in the missing persons case
06:16it's Imani's sister
06:18the name is Shari, she went missing
06:20at 6 years old from Imani's family home
06:22recent tips suggested
06:24she was in Chicago, had been sex trapping
06:26Imani and I have been working on the side
06:28it's not a match obviously
06:30but there may still be a connection
06:32okay, we're taking the homicide
06:34there is a connection, that was Shari
06:36on her phone
06:36all right, so, run Laura's phone contacts
06:39all her movements last night
06:41start building a timeline
06:42run all the DNA inside that trailer
06:44Shari's will pop
06:45they were definitely friends
06:46they might even have the same pimp
06:47all right, that's her trailer right there
06:49no one set foot inside
06:51except us
06:51let's do a full sweep
06:53witnesses
06:54well, patrol's already started
06:56knocking talks
06:57but I want us to take over
06:58we run this ourselves
06:59I want to know everyone who visited Laura
07:01if she worked tricks at home
07:05Dante
07:07just find out who she was with last night
07:09come on
07:23police, I need your camera footage
07:25what the hell are you doing?
07:26what do you mean what footage?
07:28what are you talking about?
07:30you've been loud all morning long
07:32I already told them
07:33ma'am, there is a camera in your window
07:35where does the footage go?
07:37what?
07:38where does the footage go?
07:39is it a link to an app on your phone?
07:41what is it?
07:45I don't think you're supposed to be in my house
07:47ordering
07:48ma'am, ma'am
07:48we just
07:49we just need the footage
07:54please
07:54please
08:13ah
08:36I'm still running the rest of the footage, but this is the cleanest image.
08:39Can't see the vehicle clearly, but there's no vehicle registered to Aurora's name,
08:43so my best guess is it belongs to a John R. Pimp.
08:45All right, anything on Laura's last movements?
08:47No.
08:48We could rerun these images by the residents to a second knock and talk to see if anyone remembers the
08:51vehicle.
08:52All right, we got our phone records?
08:56Uh, we should have those soon. Ruzix on it.
08:58And me?
08:59Still working on autopsy. Preliminary suggests that the cause of death was due to sharp force injury.
09:04We're gonna learn more from the ME soon, but they think the knife was either a stiletto or a switchblade
09:08based on the shape and size of the flat guard indentations.
09:12All right, shout at me when you get those phone records, Imani.
09:17Hey, Imani?
09:18Yeah?
09:19Give me a minute.
09:21I also ran the address for all in-service calls.
09:24No pops for solicitation, which doesn't mean much because police doesn't frequent that park often, so...
09:28We're gonna work everything.
09:29I know.
09:30Every lead on your sister.
09:31I know.
09:32Look, I need you to tell me that you also know we're working a young woman's homicide.
09:40I need you to tell me.
09:41I know what you're asking me.
09:43Okay? I can work it.
09:49Saliva sample from a beer bottle in Laura's trailer matched Shari's DNA.
09:55You were right. She was there.
10:00Hey, I got the GPS data from Laura's phone. It's good.
10:03So there's not much in context. No Shari listed, but Laura's last tower ping came back to a complex on
10:09West 109th.
10:10Place has multiple vice complaints priors for solicitation, and it was the site of Operation Angel, which unfortunately went nowhere.
10:18Habitual prostitution site.
10:20It's the site of last place for Laura's phone ping before her trailer left.
10:23Let's hit it.
10:49Hello...
11:00What?
11:04Chicago PD!
11:10Clear!
11:11Clear.
11:16Laura was attacked here.
11:17But
11:18All right, we found the kill site unit 2D roll the crime lab
11:26Taking anyone you see
12:13All right
12:22Oh
12:49Excuse me, sir. Can I talk to you for a second?
12:55Hey, hey!
12:58Police, stop!
13:07Stop!
13:09No!
13:14Are you kidding me?
13:16No!
13:17Stop! Stay down!
13:19Do not resist!
13:20Do not!
13:22Stop!
13:34I'm not going to keep asking you, all right?
13:35It is a simple question. Give me a simple answer.
13:37Why did you run?
13:39I panicked.
13:39Because of how you got those injuries on your face?
13:41How did you get them?
13:43We're going to find out one way or another.
13:45Hermione, the ambulance area should get your legs chipped.
13:46You were here last night.
13:48You saw a girl that went wrong.
13:50So what? You hurt him? You killed him?
13:52You killed her, didn't you?
13:54No, of course! I didn't kill anyone!
13:55Then why does your face look like that?
13:57Why did you run?
13:58I didn't hurt them.
13:59They attacked me.
14:00Okay.
14:00I didn't touch them.
14:02They did this.
14:04Okay, how is that?
14:05I met them here.
14:07Yes.
14:07Working girls.
14:09Yes. Okay, fine. Yes.
14:11But once I got here, they jumped me.
14:13They attacked me.
14:14They took my wallet.
14:15I couldn't report it.
14:16Of course not.
14:17All right, so why'd you come back?
14:19I thought my phone was here.
14:21But I didn't touch either of them.
14:23I ran from them.
14:23I left.
14:24And then they were fine.
14:25Was this them?
14:26Yes. Yes.
14:27Yes?
14:28Yes.
14:29Lila and Sable.
14:33He's lying.
14:35He's lying.
14:36He knows more.
14:36He's probably good for it.
14:38You get anything else?
14:40Fowler's in with that water now.
14:42He gave us a timeline
14:43since he left the unit at 1.30 a.m.
14:46His GPS says the same.
14:47So does his wife.
14:48He also claims that he saw them
14:50get dropped off by a black BMW.
14:52Male driver, white, 40s, 50s, tough looking.
14:56Could be their pimp.
14:57We're processing the vehicle right now.
14:59We're running it.
14:59He didn't get the girls off of Red X.
15:01He got them off a different site, Ambrosia.
15:05He said her name was Sable.
15:07Sorry.
15:11He could still be lying.
15:13He could have killed Laura
15:14and had their pimp disposed of her body.
15:18Well, either way, we need more.
15:21Let's dig into Ambrosia.
15:25All right, there's no page for Shari.
15:27Sable either.
15:28We're in her picture.
15:29It's not there.
15:30All right, Laura is...
15:31This might be something.
15:32This girl, Kat, she's got the same profile as Laura.
15:35Same language, same codes.
15:37Doesn't pop in any other pages.
15:38Okay, so it probably means
15:39she's got the same guy on her.
15:40Same pimp.
15:41This could be her man.
15:42What, uh, what's that number?
15:44She's got an SMS number used to book.
15:46Does Laura?
15:47Laura?
15:49No.
15:50Where does the SMS go?
15:51If there's a phone, we got a location.
15:57So what am I looking at?
15:58We tracked the SMS to a burner.
16:00The burner's still on.
16:00It's pinging inside that house.
16:02The place is abandoned,
16:03but it's been indexed to hell
16:05by narcotics vice area central.
16:07It is an unknown trap house.
16:08Yeah, it sounds like it's just a junkie crash pad
16:10known for deals and small-time trafficking.
16:13It's owned by nobody in particular,
16:14so we could just walk right through the front door.
16:17Then Bernard is a lead.
16:20If the phone is pinging inside,
16:22then our pimp could be there now.
16:25Shari could be there.
16:28And if we move and she's not there,
16:31there's zero chance she'll ever come.
16:34We can sit on it.
16:36Yeah.
16:37Let's set up surveillance.
16:40We'll see who's there.
16:58Two hours.
16:59No one in, no one out.
17:01Whoever's there is there for the night.
17:03We don't know that.
17:05What, because junkies got late-night errands to run?
17:09We're not burning it.
17:10If the phone is in there.
17:11If, if.
17:12You know why you keep saying if?
17:14Because there's a margin for error.
17:18Well then, let me go UC.
17:22Look, I'll go in there, I'll search for the targets.
17:24If they're not in there, I'll slip right back out here
17:25and sit here again.
17:30I'm not going to burn anything.
17:38Tori, is you good to go UC?
17:4010-4.
17:4610-4.
17:54Yo.
17:5510-4.
17:5710-4.
18:02What up?
18:02What's up?
18:12Hey, who the hell are you?
18:16I'm just here to pick up, man.
18:18That ain't no answer.
18:19That's the best you're getting.
18:21I don't know you.
18:22Are we supposed to know you?
18:29What you picking up?
18:31That is none of your business.
18:41Bro, I'm messing.
18:42Look, I don't care what you pick up.
18:44Just don't fool with nobody except who you picking up from.
18:47Ain't none of the drinks here free.
18:49Go on up.
18:49All right.
18:50Hey.
18:51What?
18:52Go on up that way.
18:54Uh-huh.

21:28I haven't seen them in months
21:29Like I said
21:30I don't have numbers
21:31Or addresses for them
21:32I got Brock now
21:33Okay
21:34I'm with him
21:35So I don't run with those girls no more
21:36Okay, your picture was still on the site
21:38Yo, there's girls from 10 years ago

21:50What did you mean by that?
21:53Hmm?

22:28They were cool
22:31And I needed some cash
22:32So I
22:34I let Shari's man run me for a bit
22:37And then
22:38You know
22:39When the girls wanted to take things
22:40Into their own hands
22:41I thought
22:42Okay

22:44And then I might proc
22:45So I don't do that no more
22:46You honey trapped your johns

23:42Did Kirby know you were robbing johns?
23:45Hell no
23:45If he knew he'd kill us
23:51Cat's description of Kirby
23:52Matches Fowley's description
23:53Of the man at the scene
23:54To a T
23:54Hands around the neck
23:56Same injuries as Laura
23:57So Kirby

24:00Were beating their johns
24:01He got pissed
24:02And he killed Laura

25:56But
25:58No luck
25:59Why's that
26:05I'm her sister
26:11Look
26:12Kirby used to pimp her out
26:14In the parking lot
26:16Right
26:17I know I should have tried to
26:18Shut it down
26:19And
26:20I just didn't know what I was supposed to do
26:22Okay
26:25And you haven't heard from her
26:25No
26:27No
26:27No
26:29She just didn't clock in one day
26:30And then it was radio silence

30:49Take pictures.
31:00Money.
31:23They had the same last names when she was a kid.
31:26He was pretending to be her father and then he went from father to husband.
31:34It's him.
31:35He's the one that he took her at six and he's had it so much.
31:38All right, we gotta go.
31:43Money.
31:44Come on, let's go.
31:54All right, Atwater's holding anchor with Tack.
31:56Hopefully they come back.
31:58Kev will move on him.
31:59The rest of us, we dig into Kirby.
32:01Look, he would have needed help getting all those fake IDs and passports.
32:04There's gonna be a trail.
32:06It could be running.
32:07We're getting a new identity.
32:09So let's dig fast.
32:10Come on, let's go.
32:11Come on.
32:17Seven identities over 20 years.
32:19It's a lot to sift through.
32:26All right.
32:27One of these aliases does have a car registered to him.
32:29It's outdated, but it's worth a bolo.
32:32I've seen this hologram before.
32:35Where?
32:36South Side Hustlers.
32:37Do you remember that credit card scheme?
32:39The raid I joined up in OT?
32:40They made fakes.
32:46Detective Albini, this is Torres Intelligence.

34:08We like to hold them in our cheeks to see how long the sweetness would last.
34:16She had a pack of these in that house.
34:18She was in that house. She was.
34:25She's been with that man all her life.
34:34I got to find her.

34:46Oh, yeah.
34:47Okay.

34:57All right.
34:58I got a name. Marius Palmer.
35:01Pusser used to steal the bank plastic to make fake credit cards.
35:04Marius Palmer. M-A-R-I-U-S?
35:06Yeah.
35:06He served two years in state law for felony fraud.
35:08Got out of bail six months ago.
35:13He's still got a place that's not far from Kirby's house down the south side.
35:17What if they're still in touch?
35:18What if he knows where Kirby is and how we can reach him?
35:21It's a long shot.
35:22What's what we got?
35:23Yeah, a blueprint void.
35:31What's up, man?
35:33What's going on? Who are you?
35:34I'm just the guy who wants to put some cash in your pocket.
35:37Yeah, we heard you got some digits for sale.
35:39Yeah? Where you at that from?
35:40Your boy T. W. He's my cousin at Stateville.
35:43Mm-hmm.
35:44Yeah, you've been missing for him.
35:45And as much as I would like to help you, little sweet ass, yeah, I'm retired.
35:49Come on, man.
35:50Yeah, come on, man.
35:50Look, we're in a jam.
35:53We'll go fix your jam somewhere else.
35:55Move along.
