Texas Teen Details Harrowing Abduction from Dallas Mavericks Game

Natalee Cramer recounts her ordeal of being trafficked and held captive 200 miles from home after being abducted at an NBA game.

Natalee Cramer, abducted at 15, was trafficked after leaving a Dallas Mavericks game in April 2022.
She was lured by Emanuel Cartagena under the pretense of smoking marijuana and transported to North Texas.
Cramer was held against her will, given drugs, and later trafficked to Oklahoma, where she appeared in online sex ads.
Her father reported her missing, but police required him to file a report in their hometown, delaying the search.
Cramer's family has since filed a lawsuit against the hotel where she was held, alleging negligence in recognizing human trafficking.
