Satara Stratton has been found in an L.A. area hospital, and her mother is on her way to California to reunite with her, and will hopefully return home to Tn with her. However this story is far from over... the mother has made several allegations, including that her daughter was held prisoner by a convicted sex offender, forced into prostitution and drug use, and is suffering from several external injuries. She's also made allegations against the LAPD for doing little to nothing to investigate Satara's disappearence, since Satara has unfortunately acquired a criminal record in L.A. (mostly drug charges.) The police have hinted that most of the allegations concerning what Satara went thru were lies and stories Satara told her mother in order to hide her drug habit and criminal activity.

Regardless, the police can't ignore the fact that a convicted sex offender who has been closely linked to Satara's disappearence has suddenly vanished himself, after Satara's disappearence made national headlines. Even if Satara did lie to her mother about some things, it's obvious the pos sex offender was responsible for some of it, and has broken laws, and the police better damn well find him and lock him up before he hurts someone else.

Below is a link to an article detailing her disappearence (before she was found.) However, I'm using this link as it also has a picture of the sex offender, who still needs to be found and questioned.

Paul whats his name (last name is way too long), the sex offender related to this case, has finally been found and was arrested by LAPD earlier tonight. He is being held without bail. Satara's mom is with her daughter tonight in Cali as this case continues to unfold.

Yeah... it seems that, as unbelieveable as parts of her story sound... that it's all true. And you're right, she got lucky that her mom launched a massive, public search for her, even after the lapd basically said she's a druggy, she's got a criminal record, really not worth our time. Here's a link to an interview Satara recently gave:

She did go out to Cali and go missing, just not as quickly as you thought. But because of her history with law enforcement, the police didn't think, at first, she was missing... until they actively began investigating and realized that they couldn't find her, or the sex offender she had been seen with, and then they began to take the case seriously.
