Police are saying she is in Texas and a possible victim of human trafficking. 


From KHOU News:

A woman missing from North Dakota since November 2019 may be a human trafficking victim in North Texas, her family said Tuesday.

Kara Mauai was last seen in either Carrolton or Dallas, reported KFYR.

Sheridan Seaboy-McNeil, the Mauai family spokesperson, said they learned earlier this week she may be a victim of human trafficking and a trail of leads led them to believe she is in North Texas.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs/Office of Justice Service is working with detectives in the Dallas area, reported KFYR.

Kara has been listed as an "endangered person," police said. She hasn’t been seen since Nov. 8.

Her family posted on Facebook they are suspending searches in North and South Dakota and are instead focusing on Texas.

“Kara may be seeking shelter at homeless shelters, churches, soup kitchens, etc. in that area. Kara is a 30-year-old Native American and Polynesian with a light complexion but may have the appearance of a younger white female. PLEASE SHARE. Thank you so much for your help to bring Kara home.”

Passing Judgement on a Missing Person

I have been guilty of this in the past. I've learned over the years that its not the persons character I need to look at. I try to think of them when they were a baby, growing up, playing in the yard, watching cartoons and living a once normal life. Somewhere in life, some of these people made the wrong decisions, mistakes were made. Arent we all guilty of that? 

It makes me sad to see a missing person poster. I try not to think of the circumstance of their disappearance, but rather look at them living day to day, growing up, eating dinner, hanging out, doing normal stuff. I sit and wonder what caused that person to say use drugs, turn to prostitution, go to jail. I have to check myself when I come close to judging that person.  It hits my heart when I think of just the daily life this person was living and now they are missing and presumed dead in a field or in a river or something. The families left to only hang onto hope that they will soon call or come to the door.

This is why I do what I do. I wont stop trying to find them. 

Anyone with information regarding a missing person or a cold case please feel free to email me. You will always remain anonymous. Its not my job to convict the person, just find the person or the body so the families can have some semblance of closure. I tell folk, you can show me the gun, tell me you killed them and I honestly dont care about that, I just want the person found and buried if need be properly. 

Anyway, just my thoughts tonite.
