Corinna Paige Slusser was 18 when she left Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, for New York City in the summer of 2017 hoping for a fresh start. Known as a cheerleader who wanted to become a makeup artist, her life grew unstable after the move as she bounced between locations in Queens and the Bronx and struggled with emotional distress and mental health challenges.

Corinna was last seen on September 20, 2017, leaving the Haven Motel in Rego Park, Queens. Her family had last heard from her regularly until that date; they reported her missing on September 12, 2017, after she failed to attend her grandfather’s funeral and said her identification had been stolen. Earlier that summer she reported to police that a man she identified as her pimp, Yhovanny Peguero, had assaulted her and taken money; a temporary order of protection followed and Peguero was arrested.

Investigators later found evidence linking Corinna to trafficking networks. Records show she and a man named Ishi Woney exchanged more than 800 text messages in the ten days before she vanished; Woney was arrested and later sentenced in 2019 for the sex trafficking of another woman. Despite multiple inquiries and arrests connected to the trafficking ring, no definitive information about Corinna’s whereabouts or fate has been found and the investigation remains active.

Did anyone in Queens or the Bronx see Corinna or notice her after September 20, 2017?
