Jessie's case has attracted international attention as an endangered missing woman and the victim of human trafficking. On May 13, 2005, just two weeks before her 21st birthday, Jessie was brought to Las Vegas by Donald Vaz, a man she befriended while still in high school in Canada, where she was born and raised. Prior to coming to Las Vegas, Donald Vaz, a man later identified by Jessie's family as a recruiter of young, beautiful, naive, innocent white girls, had taken Jessie on trips to Florida, New York and New Jersey.
Upon her arrival in Las Vegas, Jessie was given (or sold) to Yvonne Hubrechtsen, a woman from Merced, Calif. - better known in the obscure world of the sex-slave market, local escort businesses and street prostitution as “Angel” - and to her partner in crime, Richard Barrington Walcott.
Impressed and fascinated by the beauty of our 24-hour town, Jessie called her parents in Canada to tell them she wanted to stay and celebrate her 21st birthday in Las Vegas. Little did anybody know that it was just the beginning of a very drastic future.
It wasn't long before the partners “Angel” and Richard sold Jessie to Peter Bertrand Todd, a Jamaican national born in London, England, and at the time living in North Las Vegas. Jessie moved in with Todd, naively thinking that this man out of the blue had fallen in love with her.
Todd, a supposed rich man living in an expensive home - which was foreclosed on by the bank holding his note some years later - and driving several expensive cars (according to neighbors) was nothing but a pimp, using and abusing this young girl with no relatives in the United States to support or protect her.
Coincidentally, and something people in Las Vegas should be made aware of, Jessie Foster was living in the same house with Peter Todd's twin brother at the time of her disappearance. His twin brother, James Andrew Todd, is a PE teacher and coach with the Clark County School District. James Andrew Todd was well aware of everything happening inside that household in regard to the abuse of that young girl. Yet North Las Vegas Police never contacted or interviewed James Andrew Todd after the disappearance of Jessie Foster. Can we entrust our children to this school teacher? I don't believe so.
On or around June 25, 2005, Jessie got arrested for solicitation of prostitution in Clark County. Sometime around September of 2005, she was again arrested under the same charge.
After March 29, 2006, the day Jessie officially vanished, Peter Bernard Todd never had the interest or concern to communicate with the family of his supposed girlfriend; instead, he avoided them, and he refused to answer all phone calls from the distraught mother of Jessie Foster.
Approximately a year ago, the Las Vegas Tribune contacted the Public Information Officer of the North Las Vegas Police Department and was informed that Jessie was arrested by Clark County and that there was very little North Las Vegas could do.
Her pimp was operating from North Las Vegas, Jessie resided in North Las Vegas, and the fate of this young woman should be a concern to that North Las Vegas department.
Jessie Foster was due in Canada on March 28 for a wedding celebration, which never happened. North Las Vegas Police never conducted a highly detailed investigation of the house where Jessie was living. True, Jessie was sold from pimp to pimp (Vaz, Angel/Walcott, and Todd), but what proof did the police department have that something sinister did not happen to Jessie at the house located at 1009 Cornerstone Place in North Las Vegas since they never conducted an investigation into the house or the occupants of the place?
There is a strong possibility that Jessie has been sold to a better bettor, and there is a stronger possibility that the seller was no one other than Peter Bertrand Todd.
