Police now believe that it is possible that Madeline may be a victim of human trafficking and that foul play may be involved. She did not take any belongings with her when she disappeared. Her home was located half a block from a [laundromat](https://maps.app.goo.gl/odnXA2TjWnYzA9bp7), and the house was visible from there. Madeline left the laundromat to go home, while her mother was staying behind to finish laundry. That was the last time anyone saw her, to authorities’ knowledge.

She had a tough life. Her mother was in trouble often and didn't make good choices. She has since passed away. Madeline’s grandmother didn’t believe Madeline was gone and said her friends saw her around town. Others swear this isn’t true.
