VALLEJO, Calif. -- (KRON) -- Police are contemplating a new theory in the case of a missing Vallejo teen.
Authorities are now considering the possibility that Pearl Pinson is being held against her will as a sex slave.
The 15-year-old girl left for school in May of 2016 and never came home.
A witness reported seeing Pinson bleeding and yelling for help as she was being taken by an armed man.
The prime suspect in the case, 19-year-old Fernando Castro, died in a shootout with police in Santa Barbara County.
