0:18.0	And what was revealed was the shocking case of a child who had been missing for weeks without anyone noticing. I'm Charlie and welcome to
0:25.8	crime lines. Hello and welcome back to Crime Lines.
0:35.0	Welcome for the first time if this is your first episode.
0:41.0	This case is one that I have been following from the start, but it really took a while for all the legal processes that were in effect to finish up.

1:58.9	In order to explore some of her options in life, she hopped onto a dating slash matchmaking website called
2:07.8	Global Ladies.
2:10.2	It's basically women from around the world who are looking to meet men, mostly from the United States.
2:17.0	And a quick look at the site shows that the women are mostly Eastern European, though not exclusively.
2:25.0	These dating sites aren't exactly about romance,
2:29.0	but more of a transactional relationship. In exchange for a relationship of some type, the men provide
