Teens being sold for sex from a room in a St. Louis County Renaissance Hotel, turned out to be missing juveniles from Texas. Court records indicate the 16 and 17-year-old victims are wards of the Texas Department of Children and Family Services, which had reported them missing from the Dallas area.
