This month’s case is the disappearance of a young woman in suburban Cincinnati who disappeared when she was 21 years-old. Typically, a case like this can receive widespread local, state, and even national news coverage. But the Jade Humble disappearance wasn’t covered at all. Partly because nobody knew she was missing for a period of time, but also the type of victim she was, meaning: parts of her life which are less appealing and that the public see as high risk. In this dossier, we explore the world of heroin addiction whilst discussing the key stages of reporting a missing person in Ohio and the possibility that human trafficking could be a factor in Jade's case.    Special thanks to Brooke (Jade's childhood friend) for speaking with us about the person Jade was.Special thanks to Jessica (Intensive Care Probation Officer & former Forensics Case Manager in Cincinnati) for speaking with us about drug addiction and human trafficking.  Treatment Help & ResourcesSAMHSA - Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.SAMHSA’s National Helpline, 1-800-662-HELP (4357), (also known as the Treatment Referral Routing Service) or TTY: 1-800-487-4889 is a confidential, free, 24-hour-a-day, 365-day-a-year, information service, in English and Spanish, for individuals and family members facing mental and/or substance use disorders.
