You have names and you're an eyewitness. Go to law enforcement. We're able to uncover information, but we can't act on it. You already have the information, you need to give it to law enforcement so they can act on it and arrest people, and do it the proper way so that everything is documented correctly. I actually suggest NOT releasing this information publicly, as it could mess up the chances of police being able to gather further proof that could be used in a court of law.

don't go to law enforcement until you have irrefutable evidence of crimes. Police will botch the case if you're relying on them to build out the evidence. I've been through it personally and seen it happen again and again. Find out if the DA is taking these type of cases (or how many they have declined) it's up to their discretion..no matter how much evidence you have. Ignore the SJWs that insist you must report- they have no idea what the system is really like- go with your instincts, take care of yourself, do what you feel like you need to do for you.

what about going to the Nebraska Bureau of Investigations or the FBI instead of local police?

good question. I don't have personal experience with federal cases so I cannot say one way or the other. I really hope it would be better. Just understand once you have someone else on the case (FBI or police) they may consider any personal investigating interference. This means you need to trust them to do a good job investigating or arrive with enough compelling evidence in hand to give you a fail safe if they don't do a good job. I've literally seen video surveillance disappear because police missed deadlines for requesting it when they had ample time and knew it was the only physical evidence- if the victim had collected the evidence herself (and the business at the time was willing to give it to her) then her case would have had legs, as it was the surveillance was automatically deleted over 2 weeks after the crime was reported. I've also seen DA's decline cases for discretion on the basis of consent which would have any reasonable person's stomach turn (and could be relevant to this situation) i.e. if you 'consent' to be trafficked now you are considered as voluntarily working with a trafficking ring and possibly committing acts of prostitution. If you are in the car when they pick up another girl now you may be considered an accomplice. The system effectively silences trafficking victims.

oh my God, there is so much red tape and loopholes and just plain protecting criminals... it makes my stomach turn too. our system is backwards.

....You know... I never thought of that. ._.

Flaaffy, since your experience so far with local PD hasn't turned into anything, it is something you should at least consider. But read what notdivided wrote- you can't do personal investigating once it is turned over. Perhaps you should find a lawyer and go from there.

A lawyer can help especially with pursuing a civil suit (usually a lower standard of evidence is required than criminal) if they dig up enough evidence it can reignite a criminal suit it just all depends. It's tough to find lawyers to take these types of cases though.
