Woman forced to watch teen's torture slay

OKLAHOMA CITY — An Oklahoma City man kidnapped a 20-year-old woman and forced her to watch others torture and kill another woman so that she would cooperate with a human trafficking ring, police said Tuesday.

Jimmy Lee Massey, 33, was arrested on a warrant for first-degree murder in the death of 19-year-old Carina Saunders, whose dismembered body was found stuffed in a duffel bag in the Oklahoma City suburb of Bethany, Police Chief Phil Cole said. Formal charges are pending.

An affidavit filed in the case said Massey told investigators he kidnapped the 20-year-old woman and forced her to watch others kill Saunders. He also provided details of Saunders' torture, killing and dismemberment and disposal of the body.

Cole said there was no evidence the 20-year-old knew Saunders, but she and Saunders both knew Massey. He said the kidnapping and killing were meant to send a message that the 20-year-old and her friends faced the same fate unless they cooperated with a human trafficking ring focused on prostitution and a related drug ring.

there's not a lot more of this human trafficking in prostitution/drug ring crime in the US.

The facts in this article make me sick to my stomach.

It's actually a world-wide epidemic. One way to get young girls involved in human trafficking is these guys meet them online in chat rooms, convince them to run away, treat them really, really well for a while and then start making them pay for little things. Want those really nice, expensive shoes, blow my friend and the next thing the girl knows she's in love with her pimp and turning tricks for him.

and hung out with a really bad crowd. At 19 she still could have gotten her life back on track... what a horrible tragedy.

They also keep criminals from being torn limb from limb by an outraged public. Jimmy Lee Massey, you vile piece of shit, you'd better hope you're never, ever released from prison.

I am not comfortable with the woman/girl dichotomy when both women described in the headline are adults.
