A woman was kidnapped from a day care in coastal Georgia by Javier Sanchez Mendoza Jr. and taken to a cemetery where he planned to kill her. The day care worker fought back, leading to a police chase that ended with her rescue. Mendoza was part of a human trafficking network that exploited workers through the H-2A visa program, profiting over $200 million. He recruited the kidnapping victim and over 500 others, forcing them to work for free to pay off illegal fees. The woman was threatened and forced into a fake marriage with Mendoza, who controlled her every move. When she tried to escape, Mendoza kidnapped her again, planning to kill her as a sacrifice to the patron saint of death. The woman was rescued by police officers when she called 911 from Mendoza’s truck. The case highlighted the widespread issue of human trafficking and modern-day slavery in the United States, with many victims living in fear and forced into exploitation. The extensive investigation and prosecution of Mendoza’s criminal network shed light on the dangerous and manipulative tactics used by human traffickers to control and exploit vulnerable workers. Through the courage and quick thinking of the victim and law enforcement officers, a potentially deadly situation was thwarted, leading to the dismantling of a large and dangerous criminal operation.
