Missing girl feared trafficked
Meas Bopha, 47, sits in an outdoor pagoda over a lotus-filled pond on her property in Kampong Speu, home to 10 of her 12 children, and wipes back tears as she talks about her missing teenage daughter, Bophea, who vanished one morning last week. … Bophea was well-behaved, seemed content with her relatively secluded life in their large household in Kong Pisei district’s Snam Krapoeu commune, her mother said. But she had mentioned going off to work in the past, to help her mother out. … Young women going missing is a familiar story, though it is less common for it to occur without any knowledge from the family, says Eric Meldrum, an operations director at anti-trafficking organisation Sisha, which is investigating the case along with local police. …
