He Saw An RV Swaying Back And Forth, Then He Saw A Little Face Look Out The Window That Made Him…

Again, not all heroes wear capes…they sometimes drive trucks.

It was an ordinary working day for truck driver Kevin Kimmel. He stopped for a cup of coffee in a parking lot in New Kent, Virginia, when he suddenly noticed a strange detail in the car parked next to him.

Kimmel, a father, and grandfather was inside his rig, parked at a Pilot station when he caught a glimpse of a young, distraught woman through the window of an RV. The woman disappeared behind a black curtain and Kimmel’s gut reaction told him that something was amiss.

“Saw what looked like a young girl looking out the window, the black drapes didn’t make it look like a families’ RV, you know,” Kimmel told WTVR. “I saw a guy come up and knock on the door then go inside the Pilot — then quickly came back and knocked again, all of the sudden the thing was rocking and rolling.”

Judging from the woman’s facial expressions, there was something wrong and Kimmel felt she could be in danger. Instead of shrugging his shoulders and moving along, the truck driver decided to go with his gut feeling.

“When I saw the young girl’s face, I said that’s not going to happen, I’ve got daughters and granddaughters,” Kimmel said.

He grabbed his phone and dialed 911.

Within five minutes, four police cars were on the scene and it turned out that Kimmel’s instincts were correct. The woman in the car had been kidnapped and forced into prostitution.

Investigators searched the RV and found a couple from Iowa and a young woman who appeared disheveled and malnourished.

Aldair Hodza, 36, and Laura Sorenson, 31, were arrested and charged with the federal felony offense of sex trafficking by force, fraud, and coercion.

The female victim, 20, had puncture wounds on the top of her feet and numerous burns on her abdomen, groin, and back. Hodza allegedly tortured the woman by burning her with keys heated over a stove and hammering nails into her feet.

The victim told police she was abducted on Christmas Eve and forced into prostitution by the couple, who was traveling from Iowa to Virginia.

Sorenson and Hodza allegedly threatened to kill her family if she told anyone.

Had it not been for Kimmel’s heroic actions, this story could have had a very different ending.

Now, almost two years after the event, Kimmel travels around the United States, speaking about human trafficking and sharing useful information on what a trucker can do to help if they suspect something while

“That person is alive today and two really bad people are where they’re supposed to be,” Kimmel added. “Do the right thing, if you see something say something.”
