In an April court filing, a special agent for the State Department laid out the case against the couple. When asked about the girl, the couple would say that she was a niece and had finished high school, according to the filing. The witness called a friend who let the young woman stay with her for a week, but she then returned to the Toure household. That August, the young woman reached out to a former neighbour. The two met at a Starbucks where the young woman explained that the situation at home had worsened, according to the filing.
