1. I just drove through that area. I wonder if that's why I saw a lot of police cars?

Jessup is a big trucking area. It's right off of I-95, and is a major warehouse district. I'm betting that someone kidnapped her for sex trafficking purposes.

And happy to see that she had the presence of mind to alert someone in the parking lot.
