A LITTLE girl who vanished from a homeless shelter in Washington, D.C., may have been sold into an international sex-trafficking ring.

Investigators tell The National ENQUIRER they haven’t abandoned hope of finding Relisha Rudd, whose disappearance sparked a full review of social services in the nation’s capital.

She was last seen March 1 with 51-year-old Kahlil Malik Tatum, a janitor at the shelter where she lived with her mother and three brothers.

Sources say cops are focusing on two theories: Relisha was drugged, raped by Tatum and died accidentally, or she was sold into sex trafficking.

According to an official report, Relisha’s mother, Shamika Young, gave her to Tatum Feb. 26 to take home temporarily. Young has been investigated numerous times for abuse and neglect, authorities say.

Officials noticed Relisha was missing on March 19. Tatum’s body was found March 31 – an apparent suicide.

Derrica Wilson, president and CEO of Black and Missing Foundation, said: “I think her mother sold her to Tatum, and Tatum sold her in this worldwide industry of trafficking.”
