Reward of $15,000 announced for information leading to capture of fugitive human trafficker in Hou

Thaddeus Allen, 34, was midway through a trial that would end with him being sentenced to 75 years in prison when he stopped coming to court, according to prosecutors with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.

Police would like to find him.

And now, a $15,000 award is being offered for anyone who can provide detectives information that might help them find the absconded pimp, officials said at a news conference Wednesday.

Anyone with information about Allen's whereabouts is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS (8477).
