Wow, those are some scary stories Nudeyorker and Luka. Luka, what ended up happening?
It was in the early 1990`s when all the shit in the Balkans started. I don`t know the whole story but there are pieces my cousin has told me. Story goes like this...The girl briefly dated a guy before he had invited her to party. At least that`s the story her parents know. She went there, got kidnapped and taken by her "bf" away to Italy. Her parents spent years and lots of money trying to find her and take her back. At that time they didn`t even know where she had been taken to. Years passed and they got a phone call. It was her and she was in Italy. She was safe at last. They never talked about the horrors she went trough. The only time I have seen her she looked really well, really beautiful. She still lives in Italy, she has a job and all. She somehow escaped, I don`t know how. She frequents her country often and it seems she is ok. But those years she was away without a call, not even knowing where she was, I mean, I know her family and they were really, really lost. Oh, I do think they hooked her on drugs, someone mentioned how they were glad she didn`t use it any more. Drugs are a great way to control their victims. I have heard stories about Moldavian women who become heroine addicts on their way from Moldavia (where they were usually kidnapped) to their destination, usually the EU!
EDIT- Actually those women get kidnapped when they cross the border and they have their passports taken away. The kidnappers usually use the " you are going to be model" or "you are going to be a babysitter for the rich" lines. And believe it or not, people fall for it. It`s simple, where these women come from everything but home sounds like Hollywood!
