FBI searching for Oakland woman missing for 5 months, possible victim of human trafficking

The FBI announced a $10,000 reward for information regarding Heaven McGee, a 21-year-old Oakland woman missing since January 17. Her mother, Tamisha, has dedicated the past five months to finding her daughter, who was last spotted in Stockton, California. Officer Bradley Sides from the Oakland Police Department indicated that investigators suspect Heaven may be a victim of human trafficking. Authorities have conducted multiple searches in the Stockton area guided by cell phone data and other investigative leads. Agent Virmani highlighted the brutal nature of human trafficking, which often isolates victims from their loved ones.

Law enforcement is urging the community to provide any tips, no matter how small, that could help locate Heaven. An anonymous tip can be submitted to the FBI via phone or online. The case underscores the growing concern over human trafficking, particularly among vulnerable populations.
