Colorado : LaShaya Nae Stine

Sixteen year old LaShaya Nae Stine had just been awarded an internship at the University of Colorado Hospital and she had an interview coming up for a new job. The aspiring nurse was making plans for her future and her mother was very proud.

When LaShaya went missing in the early morning hours of July 15, 2016, police questioned whether she had run away or she had been taken. Her mother noticed LaShaya had left behind her wallet, phone charger, clothing, and other items she would regularly take with her.

Surveillance footage nearby showed her walking alone, as if she were meeting someone and then her family would never see her again. Tips that came into authorities lead family to believe LaShaya has become a victim of sex trafficking. 

Where is LaShaya Stine?

The Aurora Police Department, Metro Denver Crime Stoppers and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are offering a $15,000 reward.

Anyone with tips can call Aurora police at 303-739-6164 or call Crime Stoppers and remain anonymous at 720-913-7867.
