Hi -
Thank you for your messages and thoughts.
The IP search service confirms the message was sent from central Nairobi.It's now been a month - the worse month for all of us! The ISP won't release the address to me without a court order. Although a wonderful lawyer has offered her services, it's tough to get a court order for the ISP to release details without proof of a crime he has committed in Kenya. However, if we can find him, then someone can take pictures of him working illegally. More importantly, my daughter can be rescued. She belongs in school and with her family. I understand young people need life experiences, but not like this, not with someone who abuses her.
My teenager met him while we were living in Hong Kong. He is Indian (I have Indian friends - they are nice - he is dangerous), from Calcutta. He was in HK on UNHCR refugee protection under his scheme to avoid child rape charges in his home country. He already served time for attempted murder, "over-beating" and robber. He's also married. He wed a 14 year old by convincing her to lie on the marriage certificate. His wife and two other girls that he's been with (although nearly 30 -- he only dates teenagers) all say he beat them. Although he went to jail in HK for immigration fraud and was under investigation for human trafficking, now is in Nairobi. He usually works within the mobile phone industry.
He's very short, only 1.57 cm. Considering his height and the fact that he is Indian and my daughter is white, I am thinking that someone might have an idea as how to find them. It's likely they're living in an Indian/Muslim community in the center or business district of Nairobi.
At this time, the police can't do much since they don't have evidence of a crime he has committed in Kenya. But if he is found, evidence can be produced of him illegally working and then he will be arrested. Under Kenya law, because of his criminal record, he would not be entitled to a work permit.
Would it be a good idea to have someone distribute fliers with their pictures? Are there many Muslim Indian communities in the central area? What else can I do?
I would appreciate and help or suggestion.
Sincerely,
A very desperate father!
