Missing Louisiana Girl Found in Pennsylvania Basement Amid Multi-State Human Trafficking Arrests

A 13-year-old girl from Louisiana was found alive in a box covered with a sheet in the basement of a Pittsburgh home after being missing for a week and transported across multiple states. She met 26-year-old Ki-Shawn Crumity on Snapchat, who promised to get her adopted by a trusted adult but instead allegedly sexually assaulted her daily and gave her edibles and alcohol. Crumity, arrested in Pittsburgh, faces charges including human trafficking, sexual assault, and corruption of a minor, while Ronald Smith, 62, from New Orleans, was arrested in Georgia on kidnapping charges. The girl traveled by Greyhound bus from Louisiana to Pittsburgh, with reports indicating she shared a bed with Crumity and a woman in the basement. Authorities coordinated a multi-state investigation involving the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and local police, leading to the rescue and medical treatment of the girl, with evidence of sexual assault confirmed. Louisiana's Attorney General highlighted the dangers of social media and human trafficking in this case, and further arrests are expected as the investigation continues.
