She has been a victim of human trafficking in the past, and frequents the South and West sides, and suburbs, police said.

Redman is described as a 5-foot-9, 140-pound black girl with brown eyes, black hair and medium complexion, police said. She has a lip piercing and was last seen wearing a blue and red hoodie, and blue jeans.
