In March 2006, 21-year-old Jessie Foster who was from Kamloops BC, vanished from North Las Vegas under circumstances that point to a disturbing pattern of trafficking and violence against women. Nearly two decades later, her case remains unsolved—but her story is far from forgotten.

In this episode, we partnered with Jessie's mother, Glendene Grant, whose tireless advocacy has kept Jessie’s name alive in the public eye. Glendene shares insight into Jessie’s life, the red flags that surfaced before her disappearance, and the unrelenting fight to bring her daughter home. We also explore the broader issues of exploitation and the systemic failures that allow victims to fall through the cracks. Glendene has become a powerful advocate for victims and families through her organization, Mothers Against Trafficked Humans—a group she founded in Jessie’s name: https://www.facebook.com/MothersAgainstTraffickingHumans/

If you have any information about Jessie Foster’s disappearance, please contact the North Las Vegas Police Department at (702) 633-9111 or Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555.
