A woman who appeared in a viral TikTok video could be a girl who was abducted from her hometown almost 20 years ago, police believe. Sofia Juarez was four when she went missing in February 2003 from Kennewick, in Washington state, US. She hasn’t been seen or heard from since but now detectives are trying to trace a woman who appeared in an online video who said she had been kidnapped. The clip was filmed by journalist Oscar Zazueta in a plaza in Culiacan, Mexico. He asks the woman how she feels about her next birthday
