Sam, what've you got?
They're speaking Albanian; based on their accents and dialects, they must be from a town called Tropojë. Place is ground zero for scummers like this. Even the Russians give these guys a wide berth. Um, the one you spoke to, his name is Marko, and we have information that a mobster boss by the name of Marko Hoxha moved to Paris about six months ago. If he's the one, he's a big fish. And, uh, the tattoo, by the way is group ID. Am I on speaker or are you by yourself?
Lenore's here.
Hey, Lennie.
Hello, Sam.
She needs to hear this, Sam.
The specialty of the groups coming out of this area is trafficking in women.
Keep going.
Their previous MO was to offer women from the emerging East-European countries - like Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria - jobs in the west, as maids and nannies. Once they smuggled them in, they'd addict them to drugs and turn them into prostitutes. Lately, however, they've decided that it's more economical just to kidnap traveling young women. Saves on transportation costs.
Not my little baby...
What else?
Based on what they know about the way these groups operate, our analyst says you have a 96-hour window from the time she was grabbed.
To what?
To never finding her.
