Really services like Backpage make the work if finding kidnapped people much easier. This has been going on long before there was a backpage.com site, but before the internet these women were forced to walk the streets and the likely hood of this woman finding her daughter back in the 1980s would have been almost nil. It's a double edged sword but if I were in law enforcement I would see Backpage as a valuable intelligence asset.
