Missing Oakland woman last seen in Stockton believed to be sex trafficking victim
The FBI announced a reward for helping find an Oakland woman who went missing in January and is believed to possibly be a sex trafficking victim, Oakland Police said.
Heaven Desiree McGee has been missing since Jan. 20, 2025. Police said McGee's mother last saw her on Jan. 17 in Oakland. She was then seen in Stockton on Jan. 20 and has not been seen since, Oakland Police Acting Deputy Chief Nicholas Calonge said.
Oakland Detective Bradley Sides said the area where she was last seen in Stockton was a commercial corridor.
"We know that someone in that area saw something. Whatever the detail is, however small it is, it could aid us in our investigation," Sides said.
FBI Special Agent in Charge Sanjay Virmani said evidence has led them to believe she is a sex trafficking victim, and it is the reason why she was in Stockton.
McGee's mother reported her missing to the Oakland Police on Jan. 26, Calonge said. The FBI said she has ties to Oakland, San Jose and Stockton.

Live updates: Sean ‘Diddy' Combs trial closing arguments
Update: Date: 5 min ago Title: Closing arguments are expected to begin soon Content: The jury in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' criminal trial is expected to hear closing arguments this morning. In federal court, prosecutors present their closing arguments first, followed by the defense team. Prosecutors are allowed the final say and can respond in a rebuttal closing argument since they need to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. After both sides make their closing case, the judge will instruct the jury as to the charges they must consider against the defendant and the laws governing their deliberations. Update: Date: 10 min ago Title: Prosecutors took 6 weeks to present their case. The defense team took about 30 minutes Content: Defense attorneys for Sean 'Diddy' Combs rested their case Tuesday after making the decision not to call any witnesses. The nine-person defense team instead focused on its cross-examination of the 34 government witnesses, sometimes questioning them longer than prosecutors to sow doubt in the government's case. Defense attorney Anna Estevao submitted several exhibits into evidence and then read messages from Cassie Ventura to Combs into the record on Tuesday, as well as statements from other witnesses before officially resting. The entire process took about 30 minutes. Earlier on Tuesday, the prosecution also rested its case. Prosecutors called 34 witnesses over more than six weeks of testimony. The government called its first witness on Monday, May 12, and by the time their case was over, there had been a total of 28 days of testimony. Closing arguments are expected to begin around 10 a.m. ET.
