Details of Disappearance
In 2017, Slusser dropped out of Bloomsburg Area High School one class short of graduation and moved in with living with friends in her hometown of Bloomington, Pennsylvania. She had been a cheerleader in school and dreamed of becoming a makeup artist. She didn't get along with her mother and hoped to move in with her aunt in Massachusetts in January 2018.
In the summer of 2017, she met a 32-year-old man, Yhovanny Peguero, who told her he could give her a place to stay in New York City. She traveled to New York in August, taking only her cellular phone and identification; she didn't even take any extra clothes.
After her arrival she kept in touch with her family and friends, contacting them on a near-daily basis. She indicated everything was going well, but after her later disappearance, her family found out she'd been working as a prostitute, advertising on the internet to get clients.
At 1:00 a.m. August 25, Slusser called 911 from the Harlem Vista Hotel in Manhattan and said Peguero, a man whom she identified as her pimp and called "daddy", had stolen $300 from her and that when she confronted him, he grabbed her by the throat, choked her and slammed her against the wall. When police arrived at the scene, she was still very upset, shaking and crying.
Peguero was arrested and charged with harassment, third-degree assault and criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation. A temporary order of protection against him was issued by the court on Slusser's behalf. When her family in Pennsylvania found out about the attack, she downplayed it and told them there was nothing to worry about.
In September, Slusser's grandfather died, and Slusser agreed to go to his funeral in Florida, but a day later she called her mother and said her Social Security card and driver's license had been stolen and so she couldn't fly. She did, however, want to return home to Pennsylvania.
Slusser's mother went to Florida for the funeral on September 19, and Slusser was supposed to arrive home in Pennsylvania the next day, but her mother wasn't able to get in touch with her, and upon her return, she found out Slusser had ever arrived in Pennsylvania. Her mother reported her missing.
Although Slusser's family last heard from her on September 9, according to her family, she was last seen in the early morning hours of September 20, eleven days later, leaving the Haven Motel on Woodhaven Boulevard by 68th Avenue in the Rego Park neighborhood of Queens.
Slusser had been very active on social media prior to her disappearance, but after September 20 all her posts stopped completely. Her family fears she has become the victim of sex trafficking and is being held against her will; the think Peguero was her pimp. She is considered to be in danger and her case remains unsolved.

Thoughts? I am placing Corinna's case in the "Missing on TV" section since her disappearance was discussed on "Primetime Justice with Ashleigh Banfield" on HLN and NBC News did a story on her disappearance as well (reference links below):
