Here is mention of the red bag in print.

Here's how you can help find Breasia Terrell
Kness said more than fifty volunteers showed up to the Low Moor Community Center on Thursday July 16.

One of those volunteers was Dewitt pastor Curtis Girod.

"Our responsibility was the east side of 380th Avenue from 230th Street to 220th Street," said Girod.


Christy Stansbury of Davenport said she has been involved in several search efforts since day one of Breasia's disappearance.

"They said that we needed to find a red bag with white writing. Which is something new for me. I have not heard that before," said Stansbury.

One volunteer is using his dog to help in the search for Breasia.

Daniel Melchert says he and Abel have worked for four days.

They started in the credit island area but when police started focusing on a new area the pair moved to Dewitt today.

They also searched mount joy earlier this morning.

I'm wondering if they have evidence she is deceased? like from his place??

Hi, how far away is the new search location from where Breasia was last seen?

Not from the States - that's why I ask

When I punch in the apartment address and the intersection into Google maps, it shows it's a 32-minute drive (LINK)

This is the closest highway cam to that route--it would have been one exit further north than the most direct route (LINK)

 

[Knox]

That would be my guess.

So if Breasia's overnight bag is the red bag with white lettering, that likely means it's missing from the home.

Thinking about possibilities- did Dinkins create some sort of excuse and tell Breasia they needed to leave, "bring your bag"? Or is it simply he took the bag and hid it to make it look like Breasia left the home on her own.

I'm not hopeful this is going to end well, but the possibility he gave her to someone still exists.

IIRC, in a recent pc they did mention routes 30 and 61 as what route they think he took, so maybe IMO they already have camera evidence of that and are looking for other people to check cameras as well.

BBM-when I read about the bag, the first thought that came to me was that he is trying to make it look like Breasia ran away. However, IMO there is no way she could get 30 miles away on her own. Of course, I don't think she ran away at all.

Sorry, was anybody able to confirm who was at the house that night besides HD, breasia and her brother?

Gotta feel for the bro too, his sister is missing and everyone thinks his Dad did something?

Dinkins girlfriend was in the home. No name or details, but I understand she is fully cooperating with the investigation.

 

[Limecat]

I know she had a cell phone cause her mom texted her I wonder if she had it with her or it was left at the apartment.

I’d have to go back to find the quote but I believe it was reported that Breasia texted her mom from Dinkins phone?

 

[Limecat]

I believe one of the articles stated that she used his cell phone to text her mother. So I'm guessing she didn't have her own.

MOO

Sorry Blue Ridge, you beat me to it.

Where did people find any info/accounts of what happened in the early morning hours the day she went missing? Did someone say she went fishing? I just hadn’t been able to find that info anywhere. Was it something the little boy/her brother said?

This is a stupid question, but if he handed her off to someone, could it have been via boat? or not likely cuz they wouldn’t have gotten far on the river without running into a dam?

My guess is he tried to attack her in the middle of the night and when she fought him, he knocked her out and took her in his vehicle somewhere - he would need a shovel to dig a shallow grave and I doubt he had one since he lived in an apartment - so my guess is they are going to find her covered up with branches or debris.

I take it the apartments don't have cameras but maybe the businesses around it might?

On July 9, Terrell went to Henry Earl Dinkins' apartment in the 2700 block of East 53rd Street with her half-brother — Dinkins' son — for an overnight stay, Lankford said.

Terrell texted her mother using Dinkins' phone shortly after 9 p.m. to tell her goodnight.

Lankford hasn't heard from her daughter since.

And didn't she wake up at 3am and that's when she found them both missing? What woke her up I wonder? I'm going to try and hunt up some more MSM - but I've got a busy day today.

Right... like how did she get there? Did she walk? Who saw her? Who has been interviewed? Mom, brother? How long has he been living there? One article says he was in process of moving and it sounds like Breasia’s mom recently moved too. Did she live in the same complex? Did they, by chance, live together?

I also want to go back and look at articles where using dogs was mentioned and determine if we can tell which type of dogs.
