A Michigan woman who had been missing since 2017 was found in a motel room after police heard her screaming and crying.

State Police said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that the woman managed to call her stepmother on Monday and tell her she was being held against her will at a motel in Inkster, Michigan.

Detectives determined that the woman, now in her 30s, was being held at the Evergreen Motel in Inkster. Detectives and troopers responded to the motel, where they heard her screaming and crying from a motel room.

“We’ll kind of look at what’s next, right… interview her if a crime did take place such as human trafficking or is it a domestic violence situation or is it different,” Michigan State Police Lt. Mike Shaw told WXYZ. “I don’t want to use the word kidnapping like somebody grabbed her and took her to that place. It may have started out as a relationship that turns into being held against your will and being trafficked.”
