Do you know the identity of this young woman? This girl was found a month ago in what police describe as a “distressed state.” Despite having been taken into custody, in an effort to get her help, the girl refuses to reveal her identity. Now, after gaining rare permissions from the courts, authorities have released her photos in an effort to gather any information they can.
The Daily Beast reports, “Irish police said today that they had spent over 2,000 man hours trying fruitlessly trying to identify her. After getting special approval from the courts, they today took the unprecedented step of releasing these pictures of the girl, who has since been taken into state care, in a last-ditch attempt to find out who she is and how she came to be found, alone and abandoned, on the streets of Dublin.”
While authorities don’t have many leads, she may have been a victim of sex trafficking, though no one is certain of anything. She reportedly has a limited command of the English language and, after police followed up on a few possible leads, their efforts led nowhere. She’s described as “five foot six inches tall, of slim build, with long blonde hair. When she was found, she was wearing a purple hooded top, tight dark coloured jeans, flat black shoes and a grey woolen jumper.”
