...phone calls about Human Trafficking with a total number of 3,083, followed by Texas with 2,236 phone calls and Florida with 1,722 phone calls. All other states range in about 300 – 800 phone calls throughout the year of 2013. There were 38,889 cases called into the NHTRC and 20,400 cases were solved. Each case called in is evaluated for evidence for potential human trafficking and then categorized by high or moderate. High cases are the cases where victims are more likely to get murdered. Where moderate case victims are less likely to get murdered.
