Just to play the "devil's advocate" here for *just a second*: IF someone were to go so far left as to murder someone else, one would *think* that in disposing of the corpse, one would also dispose of other personal things associated with the corpse (such as a purse.) Granted, that's *not always* the case, but just sayin'....
Also, to play the role of "THE Advocate" here for just a moment (see John 14:26 and 15:26) to accuse another without evidence is to "bear false witness against" thy neighbor, even if one's neighbor happens to be one's relative.
Meanwhile, females captured and sold into sex slavery are typically *never* found. It behooves the lone female ("attractive" or not!) to carry bear repellent at all times, and know how to use it safely. When possible, also to carry a gun, but the bear repellent / pepper spray would likely be easier to conceal in various places / conditions.

No comment here, other than "Judge NOT—" Well, also, there's the second half of Matthew 5:44 which may be applicable.
> There was also incest because my dad's sisters had children by their father."
That would make your cousins *also* your aunts / uncles, right? (Some of your dad's nieces/nephews were also his siblings.) For whatever reason, I keep forgetting what part of the country this might be, but I keep getting the impression of Northwest to possibly southwest/central.
> My dad gave my mother the gun and said if his dad ever showed up for her to shoot him or he would rape her, my sister and me. I never knew my grandfather or grandmother on my [dad's] side. My dad said his dad finally moved to [Louisiana] and no one ever heard from him again.
*Wow.* Sounds like someone may want to notify the Louisiana authorities, just in case.
So taking this all into account of the gun clip (short dream segment) it sounds like your dream is of your father's presence watching over you. Such is exceptionally resonant with "God the Father" watching over His children. Reminds me of Matthew 6:28–30 :>
