Sad news: body identified as young escort

[Zach M]

The man went to jail for year or two. Cannot remember correctly.


Condolences to her family.

Sad news; No one deserves it.

R.I.P. Kera.

Are you sure? If so, that's a big steep considering she admitted to providing him with false ID......(not to hijack the thread or anything).

So incredibly sad and heart breaking. At 20 yo, she had her whole life ahead of her with so many things to learn and experience. I hope she has found peace.

 

[Erika USAF Mom]

That's a possible motive.

 

[mom of 2]

The article mentions that she told or texted her friend about certain 'drama'.

Does that mean a confrontation with a john or bf who fathered the unborn child?

I can't imagine a suicide with her being found in a ditch by the road.

So said in any event. May she RIP. God bless her.

Let's hope it has nothing to do with her being an escort. To think that there could be a serial killer (killing escorts) on the loose is scary.

Wow, normally I don't even post in the "Lobby" section, but this is so sad.

Can anyone surmise if her death was due to a "Bad john" (I haven't read every single detail posted here or publicly).

 

[Killua]

They maybe .... CTV evening news reported that Cachet's lawyer gave a statement that this gal started in early December and claimed she left their employ before Christmas. Her friend who reported her missing claims to have called Cachet after Jan17 only to be told by Cachet that "Yes she was working and that they could have her there in half an hour"

Both statements can't be true.

100% all irrelevent to the judge. Hire an underage and you pay. That is when Daphne and and Amanda jumped ship to Mirage.

 

[saffrondoula]

but the roommate said they" would just send a different girl." So they may have just been trying to not loose a call by sending any girl and hoping she would be acceptable.

Tragic story, such a shame to have a life ended so young. Rip and God bless her and comfort her loved ones left behind. Lets hope the authorities get to the bottom of this quickly and find the lowlife coward behind it.

Holy crap....talk about jumping to conclusions. One young lady died, who worked at some point as an escort and all of a sudden there's a serial killer focusing on escorts on the loose?

*backs slowly away from the screen...."

 

[aronbayarea]

Sorry If I scared you, just fearing the worst :shock:. I hope it has something to do with her BF or EX BF and not a bad John. Only the police will know.

The police are investigating... why should we speculate, when even THEY aren't? :shock:

 

[Pompal 09.]

Lets follow through your line of thinking ... this was at least a month after cachet claims the person left. Ok I buy the fact that they have been playing fast and lose with the call but a month after is kind of pushing it. In addition Cachet claims she left the City ... clearly she didn't ... so the question is What was she doing for money? Also lets consider why Cachet felt it necessary for it's lawyer to come out and make a statement about it's connections to this young woman ... public relation's, damage control ... Why would a notorious outcall need this?

I really don't know ... my suspicious nature maybe getting the better of me ... I look at the area she lived which is spitting distance of the Paradise Club which had a previous scandal with the Jaffer/Cachet girlfriends/coke/money and Paradise club.

Smells like she may have stepped into a hornets nest she couldn't deal with.

Wow, very good points dude.

A pimp landed her a job with Cachet Ladies in 2007 when she was 17, said Stephanie — not her real name. Soon after, she became hooked on cocaine, and routinely found herself having to meet men — paying customers — in hotel rooms.

Many of the other 40-or-so girls were also controlled by pimps, plied with drugs and pressured into providing sex to men paying high fees, she said.

“Ninety percent of the girls work for a pimp, (because) the pimp’s trail is less traceable through the agency,” Stephanie insisted.

She alleged that escorts at the agency engaged in drug use. Josh Mfizi was sentenced to eight years in prison in 2008 for his abusive manoeuvring of Stephanie into prostitution. Court also heard it was Mfizi who introduced Stephanie to Cachet Ladies.

The agency’s lawyer, Gregory Leslie, said Stephanie’s accusations simply aren’t true.

Illegal drugs are not allowed at Cachet, said Leslie. The agency protects women from pimps, and only hires women who are of legal age with valid identification to prove it. “They don’t allow drugs at all at work — or on calls,” he said. “Numerous women have been fired for partaking in drug use ... Absolutely no drugs are allowed.”

Many escort agencies prey on “vulnerable” young girls, many who have fled abusive homes and turned to life on the streets, or have addictions, said Kim Snow, a professor at Ryerson University’s school of child and youth care.

“Kids in this situation are very often victims,” said Snow. “They lack natural connections and community supports, whether that be parents or caring next of kin ... And then once they’re on the street, they often turn to drug abuse to cope with the victimization and use (prostitution) as a way of supporting that habit.”

Yeah, that's a load of crap.....of the agencies I know of the women come to THEM for work, not the other way around......

I have no doubt that there are pimps plying the streets looking for women to lure into the lifestyle hence why I only deal with reputable agencies.

The drug use rule is commonplace and I know many agencies who have fired women who are using while on the job.

 

[Chrystal]

I doubt that cachet is one of them since they are well known as the "Party Girl" agency.
