Human trafficking: Hungarian woman hides in bathroom of Houston Airport for ten days

A Hungarian-speaking woman has fallen victim to kidnappers. However, she managed to escape from them at George Bush Intercontinental Airport Houston. The woman spent ten long days in the bathroom.

Telex reported that a 52-year-old Hungarian woman was probably abducted by kidnappers in the United States. She was found and later identified by the staff of the George Bush Intercontinental Airport on the 7th of June.  Ten days before that, she managed to break free from the two men who she was travelling with. Local authorities treat the case as human trafficking.

Strong suspicion

Monica Philips, who found the woman, had the first inkling that something was wrong on the 2nd of June when the airport received a suspicious call. The caller was allegedly looking for his 52-year-old mother, who flew from Lubbock, Texas to Houston on the 28th of May. He was worried as he had not heard from her since she boarded the plane. The staff member found it odd that he reported the case five days after she went missing. Philips forwarded the call to the police. She later found out that the man had refused to report “his mum” as a missing person. That was the point when her suspicion grew stronger. She thought that this might be a case of human trafficking.
