OH OH - Cierra Chapman, 30, meeting ex bf to exchange items, Trotwood, SUV found in Middletown, 27 Dec 2022

[Ann99]

I am somewhat familiar with this area.
If I understand correctly
The location where her vehicle was found is near two parks which would be dark and unoccupied at night.
(From early reports, area of Jewell Avenue, Shelly Street, and Tytus Avenue of Middletown) check this on Google maps.
MO
The closest bar is walking distance across the smaller park near where the car was found.
The Great Miami River flows along the banks of the other much larger park, but one could not confuse the 2 parks at night as the second park is across a larger 2 lane with median strip roadway. A different direction entirely.
Even though the larger park along the river is a walking/hiking biking trail, at dark it is a desolate area.
My theory is unfortunately centered around the River.

The family is currently caring for Chapman’s son. “He wants his mom, he's used to having her there every day,” Gillard said. “He's used to being able to pick up a phone, and call her or see her or text message her. To have that just snatched away from you in a twinkling of an eye. It is devastating.”

The family continues asking the help from the public.

“Call the Dock Ellis hotline, call the Dayton police Department, just let us know anything,” said Gillard. “We want to bring this, this baby's mom home, and give him some type of peace.”

Dayton Gets Real: Missing Minorities

When Black and brown people go missing, do they get the same kind of media coverage that white people do?

www.whio.com

[...]

Jasmine Ellis, CEO and Founder of the Dock Ellis Foundation said, “The media can work better in helping push a positive story. There’s, oftentimes, that you will see somebody reported missing and it’s you know, mother reports son missing, mother believes that son is missing, and then a day later, here comes their criminal record.”

Jasmine, along with Hjordis Ellis, are the co-founders of the Dock Ellis Foundation.

“Everyone deserves the same exact type of attention. If I’m going to give it to little Johnny over here that lives in Beverly Hills that comes up missing, then we need to give the same treatment to little Susie that lives over here in South Central LA when she comes up missing,” Hjordis Ellis said.

[...]

As the search for Cierra Chapman continues, her family and friends have appreciated the local media coverage.

“They kept the story alive. They kept people informed on what was going on. And, we want to keep that, we don’t want it to die down,” Gilliard said.

"We do have leads," Dayton Police discuss missing woman, six months after her disappearance​

Thursday, July 27, marks six months since Cierra Chapman disappeared.

“Not knowing is rough,” said her Aunt Sandra Roundtree.

Dayton 24/7 Now’s Mamie Bah asked, “Six months later, how do you keep hope alive?”

“Trying to keep that alive is hard for us, not knowing what is going on, what’s happened to her,” answered Roundtree.

 

[GoBuckeyes]

Yeah, I live in Middletown (I usually say Cincinnati, because no one has heard of Middletown), and Trotwood is a ways away. The articles I've read haven't said where they found the car. If someone dumped it here to get rid of it, they had to have someone drive them back, there isn't a bus or any kind of public transportation between Middletown and Trotwood.

Maybe they can check Uber, Lyft, etc.?

“Has her ex-boyfriend been cooperative?” Bah asked.

“We did ask him to come in for an interview and he failed to come in for an interview,” said Maj. Johns.

There have been multiple searches including with Texas EquuSearch, the Dayton Police Department, and the Dock Ellis Foundation, which has been supporting the family.

“It’s very emotional up and down like a roller coaster, anytime they find remains or a body, the family is hoping to find her but don’t want to find her that way, waiting or not knowing is the hardest part,” said Michelle McCown-Luster with the Dock Ellis Foundation.

Thursday, Dayton Police Department said they are continuing to investigate who is responsible for the disappearance of Cierra Chapman.

Dayton Police Major Brian Johns previously told News Center 7 that her disappearance was ‘suspicious’ and appeared “well planned out.”

“No phone contact with her, we don’t have any financial records, where she had used any money, which is very, very odd,” Johns said.

I read that she was seen around J-Rocks bar on Tytus and her car was found down the road from there in the area of BCB Complex/Dixie Heights Park. J-Rocks website states the close at 2:30 am and her car was seen leaving the apartment complex at 4:30 am. Was she seen at that bar that night she went missing? I'm kinda confused as to when she was seen at the bar. Did she go to the bar, then drive to her exes apartment? If surveillance is showing when her vehicle left the apartments, when does it show her entering the apartments? Why would she go to Middleton to the bar, drive up to Trotwood, then drive back to Middleton? How long was her vehicle parked on Jewell Ave before it was reported?

What is the ex-boyfriends name? What apartment was she at? I would totally understand police withholding information if they knew it was a homicide, but as of now, she's missing. You would think they would release all information in the hopes of finding her. Why the secrecy? Why aren't they releasing any of their "leads" instead of regurgitating the same information that's already known?

My heart breaks for this family and I hope they get answers sooner rather than later. Maybe if a little more information was released, she could be found.
