This is Sydney Loofe. She is a 23 year old from Lincoln, NE. She was last seen on November 15th when she went on a second date with a woman she had known as Audrey Trawell.
She sent out a Snapchat to various friends about how she was excited for the date. This is the last communication she had with any friends or family. The next day, she failed to show up to her shift at Menards where she was a cashier. She is a responsible girl who always showed up for work on time, had a great relationship with her family and contacted them 3-5 times a week. Noticing that this is completely out of character for Sydney to not call in sick or not show up for work at all, her manager at Menards decided to call her parents. When her mother tried to reach her, Sydney's phone had been shut off. Her mother contacted LPD to do a wellness check and upon arriving at her apartment, her car was still there as well as her cat, but Sydney was nowhere to be found. At this point, her parents reported her as a missing person. The authorities found that Sydney's phone last pinged in Wilber, NE, about an hour's drive from Lincoln where she lived. After searching through social media, they found that Audrey lived in Wilber, so they got a warrant and searched Audrey's house, but unfortunately found nothing. At this point, LPD, the US Marshalls, Saline County Sheriff's department, and the FBI are all involved in the case.
This is where the story gets especially weird.
On November 28th, Bailey Boswell, 23, and Aubrey Trail, 51, are named persons of interest in Sydney's case. Bailey Boswell had been going by the name Audrey Trawell (a combination of both Aubrey and Bailey's first and last names) on various dating apps and websites. They were on the run.
On the morning of November 29th, both Trail and Boswell uploaded a video to the Facebook page "Find Sydney Loofe" detailing their side of the story and proclaiming their innocence. Boswell is seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and sunglasses while Trail barely shows his face at all. Bailey says that she used different names on social media because she had warrants for her arrest, but claims that she has nothing to do with Sydney's disappearance as Sydney had asked Bailey to drop her off at a friend's house after their date the night she went missing. They are in a vehicle presumably on the side of a major highway as you can see lots of cars drive by in Bailey's sunglasses. The video was up for about 30 minutes before being deleted. Luckily many people recorded the video and it's since been posted on YouTube. The video is about 9 minutes long, but it's very interesting and definitely creepy.
https://youtu.be/gTFj5X3vQf8
The next morning, they release another video stating that they are going to turn themselves in. These videos are also almost immediately deleted.
On December 1st, both Trail and Boswell are arrested for their warrants and questioned by authorities. They are then transferred to the Saline County jail in Wilber. As of now, no more details have been given and the authorities are asking for any information related to this case
There have been many searches through wooded areas in and around Wilber and authorities are doing all they can to bring Sydney back. They have said that they have no reason to believe that Sydney isn't alive. Sex trafficking is a big deal in Nebraska with the interstate running through the state and a few cities along the way. The family and many other people are concerned that she may have been sold into this horrible business by Trail and Boswell. As for now, all the public can do is report anything related to this case and keep sharing her photo in the hopes that someone may recognize her. Please be on the lookout and help bring her back to her family and friends.

I’m scared. I hope she’s ok.

I'm not one for allegations, but look at their faces. They fucking KNOW what happened to her.

TasteOfNoise
ain't it huge, doe? If that's how desperate sex traffickers are I'd guess business is in decline. WOOF
icantbelievemynamewastaken
Wait. Wait. waaaaaaaait. that's not a filter? I was sitting here thinking "I wonder why they'd use a distorted picture"

Oh come on, that's clearly a snapchat filter. Don't be a dick
ITradeNewds
THANK YOU, nobody was commenting on it and i was wondering if i was crazy
NATA5
We made some dark humor comments in the last post.
RipOffTheBandAid
She sure looks surprised
csullivan
These people obviously did something with her. Whether they sold her for sex or organ harvesting or something else. Or murdered and dumped.
wilkins1952
My biggest worry is that if they did sell her the buyers saw all press and just decided to dump her would make finding them nearly impossibl
booploop
Remember https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandra_Levy. Sometimes what is OBVIOUSLY true isn't ACTUALLY true.
Tver937
Fuck. Organ harvesting. That's awful.
Nova5269
Agreed, I don't even want to think about someone's baby girl being harvested... Humans are truly an awful species...
Tver937
Terrifying. The more research I do on human trafficking/organ harvesting the most disgusted I get with the human race.
MakeCuntGreatAgain
Did they try looking at the place this "date" occurred to see if they did go on one or if something else didn't happen. (1)
MakeCuntGreatAgain
Clearly her phone would have pinged on the date or when/if she got to her friends house. (2)
Noob3rts
Fuck sake. I hope this turns out positively rather than how my mind is thinking..
Totallycasual
I've seen way too many episodes of Forensic Files to know this isn't going to have a happy ending :(
TheFrodo2
Living in Lincoln it's scary seeing this case unfold. In class talking about the new pieces of the story every day. I really hope she's okay

Going through my old saves, ones like this I google since a lot of time went by, very sad to see how it turned out :/

I hope she's found soon.

With that forehead, any second now
headloser
wonder if they was the "only" date Old lady and Pervert have done? police need to check how Sydney Loofe contacted them in the first place.
420noscope420
I'm sorry I did not clarify, she met Bailey on Tinder
IamJustinSane
Old lady? Are you 12?
headloser
Sorry not talking about the victim here but that pervert and old lady of his. They may have done this to other victims. Serial killers?
IamJustinSane
The “old lady” is in her early 20’s.
TasteOfNoise
you must be young
Ladrene10
I really hope she is found
HyggeDimsen
I hope that too. I'm a mother and my girl going missing would all buy kill me. I hope, by God in Heaven, that she's found. Genuinely.
TasteOfNoise
why do you hope that? Do you really give a shit?
Thatawkwardwhitepeoplesmile
Yes, some people like us have a heart and empathy
TasteOfNoise
I have a heart and an am empathetic but I don't give a shit about this story.
Serverdamager
I've heard a rumour that if you say 'massive cunt' three times you appear.
mondanmondan
While I hope this girl turns up alive and well, I recognize I'll likely not hear about her again, and not think about her again, nor will I
mondanmondan
ever likely find myself in Nebraska, and this event will probably not affect my life going forward in the slightest.
elyk26
Honestly, oftentimes I find myself not caring as well and it worries me. I know I'm supposed to feel something for them but I just can't.
TasteOfNoise
you are not alone!
elyk26
I used to think people would lie and say they were empathetic to make them feel better, but I realized at some point it might just be me
elyk26
Does anyone else feel a lack of empathy for strangers or is this actually an issue? I wouldn't say I'm sociopathic but I just don't care...
elyk26
Especially since it doesn't affect me in any way. I do feel sickened by these sorts of things, just never empathetic

Velosiraptor
i wonder why the "friends" house they dropped her off at isn't in suspicion
tflorio19500
Valid question. That went through my mind as well.
Anthraxwastaken
Possibly already cleared
420noscope420
It was, apparently Bailey said she couldn't remember where the house was
okaydotjpg
I’m pretty sure there is no house...
theslowestsloth
They they have to contact all the friends' houses?!?
AllTheUsernamesILikeAreTaken
They should. I’m sure it’s not that difficult to figure out which friends does she hang out with. And at least question them.
Velosiraptor
if i was under suspicion i would definitely figure out where it was
IamJustinSane
I don’t think memory works that way.
420noscope420
Also, please do not contact me about any tips, of course. The phone number listed is an FBI tip line.
ElfSIut
Man chances are you arent about. But. Any news on her?
gigsra
Her body was just found...the FBI is having a press conference tomorrow at 9AM to discuss it :(
HyggeDimsen
Poor girl. I hope the family pulls through.

Google the FBI tip line though, op may have faked the number
420noscope420
If you're unsure if the number is real or not, I encourage anyone to use Google. It is a wonderful resource and easily accessible.
killmanatees
First thing on google is Omaha FBI office, not fake
mechanicalhemiola
you should research your own stupid suggestion, perhaps.
spiciestmemelord
Give me one good reason why’d they do that
ClaireAugustus
You're on a thread about a girl being kidnapped, do you have even one good reason why anyone would do *that*? People are fucked up man
TheFoxKit
People also create fake rape claims. While we all hope it isn't fake, it doesn't hurt to do your research before calling a number you see.
ClaireAugustus
I think you misunderstood what I was saying. We're agreeing.
thurstythurst
There's all sorts of fucked up people out there

I hope they find Megamind’s daughter

I work in Lincoln and live in Omaha. I hope they find her soon. I've been keeping an eye out for her. Such a sad case

I like how you shit posted about being sexually frustrated. Nobody wants to hook up with a pretentious douche canoe
TasteOfNoise
thanks for stalking me. You must really care. If you read my post you'd know I don't actually give a shit. Now leave me alone, peasant.
AlligatorLoki
Lol how about you leave me alone.. calling me a narcissist for looking for a lost girl who is in danger
gigsra
Nah I just wanted to see if you were joking or just a jerk by looking at your posts. Seems you truly are just a piece of crap.
TasteOfNoise
I'm actually a swell person.
