Missing Brookline Girl Could Still Be Alive

Alivia Christine Kail of Brookline could still be alive, according to a report by WPXI.

WPXI has reported that Alivia Christine Kail, a Brookline teenager who has been missing for nearly two years, could be alive.

The television station reported Tuesday that the FBI is investigating whether Alivia could be a victim of sex trafficking in Florida.

Alivia has been missing since March, 5, 2011. She was living in Mt. Washington at that time, when she told her family she planned to move to Florida with her boyfriend. Kail, then 19, picked up clothes from her brother’s West Mifflin home on March 5, and hasn’t had contact with family or friends since.
