“We just want, at minimum, a phone call, knowing that she's still OK, or hopefully a location if she isn't OK, so that we can come get her," said Trisha Wade, Tasia Keaton's aunt, told us on April 17.
The Dearborn Heights Police Chief, Ahmed Haidar, said they believe she was later picked up by someone, assaulted and taken to a local hotel before being brought back to the area of Stout Street and Joy Road.
