Tennessee in General. Is that the closest large airport servicing elites with drivers and limos to the Derby? Also logistics and conditions may be just right. Hotels, transport and LE that are all willing to comply. It is the same with organ harvesting. All conditions are sought out ahead of time. Close proximity is the solution.
Lousiville has a good sized airport right there. And Lexington KY airport is about an hour away too, where they frequently ship horses to/from Keeneland, so...?
Yeah, so is right. No what? There has to be some reason. Remember the C2C shipping containers? The Ohio River is right there and would provide a perfect transport for trafficking. What do you think?
The linked story says that Knoxville is en route to Atlanta, I guess it must be a hub of a ratline. I guess extra kids are brought up from Atlanta for the derby.
"Certainly that environment does invite the space for more people to be exploited than normal, but we have to remember that it's an every day issue," Trudell said. THIS we must also reflect upon. It will not go away when everyone goes home. So they probably ARE being brought in from Atlanta but I think shipping is much easier for them than flying them in. Harder to detect. There would be a huge elite customer base to satisfy for the Derby and many must be brought in, imo. We know now why Elton John and his hubby have a place in Atlanta.

Seems odd they they are specifically mentioning Knoxville, even though it is 4 hours away. There must be a lot of trafficking going on in Knoxville
