Authorities are worried about nine women whose photos were released by the Windermere Police Department on Tuesday.
The department needs help identifying the women in the images, which are still pictures from videos taken between 2008 and 2013. The women appear to be unconscious or asleep.
Chief Dave Odgen told WFTV.comin Orlando on Tuesday that he is concerned because it has not been determined whether the women are alive or not.
"Our investigator has followed all of his leads. We've followed up on everything we possibly could, and at this point we haven't been able to identify anybody and we need to do that, as we put out in our release. We are concerned for their safety and well-being," Ogden told WFTV.
