GUILTY IA - Breasia Terrell, 10, found deceased, Davenport, 10 July 2020 *arrest*

[Knox]

Thanks for the response btw
I only ask, due to the main purpose of the AMBER Alert, its there for cases like this isn't it? - to alert the public to cases of worrying/life threatening disappearances of children, maybe LE felt that an immediate alert would put Breasia at more risk? Particularly if they suspected that she had been passed onto someone else? Like you say though, time to sort through HD's story etc. would take time, but not the length of time it took to issue the Alert....

Amber Alert Criteria- Guidelines for Issuing AMBER Alerts | AMBER Alert
I thought at one time the criteria was to have a vehicle description, but now I think that's wrong. Off to read the linked info.

Summary of Department of Justice Recommended Criteria

• There is reasonable belief by law enforcement that an abduction has occurred.
• The law enforcement agency believes that the child is in imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death.
• There is enough descriptive information about the victim and the abduction for law enforcement to issue an AMBER Alert to assist in the recovery of the child.
• The abduction is of a child aged 17 years or younger.
• The child’s name and other critical data elements, including the Child Abduction flag, have been entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) system.

I can only remember 1 Child Rescue Alert being issued here in Wales, and that was in 2012 in Machynlleth.

Early on Breasia's Mom said HD mentioned "Mother Goose" to someone. IIRC that was linked to a park in the area and it was searched. Not sure if that is close to the river?

Mother Goose Land is about a mile away from the river, as the crow flies. About 1.5 or 2 if you're driving to the closest accessible areas.

Certainly has a lot of cases - more than 60 (I stopped counting) in Iowa and two dozen in Rock Island County Illinois across the river.

One of those cases is likely this one:

https://www.mywebtimes.com/articles/2019/05/03/6aab2766184b48a39cb8102805d25b09
and Henry Dinkins, 46, both of Davenport, were charged with possession of a controlled substance after Illinois State Police stopped their 1998 Ford van in Bureau County on April 25.


I wonder who owned that?

Poor April Jones. I had just moved away from Mid Wales a few months before that happened. So so sad.

In that court case his trial was scheduled to begin on 07/27/2020 with a final pre-trial scheduled for 7/22/2020. He was present in court in Bureau County with his Public Defender on 07/08/2020.

‘You’ll never get a sleep in that cell until she’s home’: Breasia Terrell’s mother remains hopeful daughter will come home

Lankford is remaining hopeful her daughter will come back home.

“I feel it. I know it. I mean, we’re walking through the woods, but I still feel that she’s located in someone’s house. I do know that much. If she is anywhere out here in these woods or something, that’s because they had to let her go because the tension is getting a bit too hot out there for them, because she is everywhere, and it’s going to be that way until she comes home.”

Lord, I hope Breasia comes home to her Mom.

Quoting myself to keep his cases together.

According to this article , he was indicted for a substance containing meth in October 2019.

BC Indicts Three on Meth Charges

And the Grand Jury indicted 47-year-old Henry E. Dinkins and 21-year-old Craig L. Davis-Sims of Davenport, on charges of unlawful possession with intent to deliver meth. That’s a Class X felony. They’re accused of possessing 900 grams or more of a substance containing methamphetamine with the intent to deliver. The two have bonded out – Dinkins with 10 thousand dollars, and Davis-Sims with 75 hundred dollars.

Based on what I read was he looking at 15 years for this? Since it was 900mg? Did he just say what the heck I'm going away for a long time?

Also makes you wonder what kinds of people he might have been involved with. Makes the trade for a drug debt theory a little more plausible, IMO.

I hope this is ok to post. I took a screenshot and now for the life of me I can’t find the specific link because of too many pop ups. I will continue to try to find the link.

I wonder if he had maybe assaulted her before when she was younger but now is old enough to fight back? Especially in light of learning he was convicted for sexually assaulting a 5 year old previously. Just thinking out loud...and my opinion only, of course.

Rumor: 5y.o. Was his cousin and there are more that were too scared to come forward.

Then two days later, he is involved in Breasia's disappearance? Interesting, do we know if he was found guilty what kind of time he would have to serve?

 

[diggndeeperstill]

I mean, he is really just despicable. It angers me when career criminals get this many chances at any day outside of prison.

Driver with multiple offenses sentenced


Thomas Geyer
Oct 26, 2011
A Davenport man who crashed his car by driving the wrong way on Interstate 80 and then was caught a week later by Davenport police driving while lighting a crack pipe has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Henry Earl Dinkins, 39, must spend a minimum of three years in prison before becoming eligible for parole, in accordance with his plea agreement.

....
When Dinkins saw police approaching his vehicle, he floored the accelerator but the vehicle did not go forward because he had placed the transmission in park.
...
Dinkins also pleaded guilty to a charge of driving while barred and sentenced to two years in prison.

All of the prison sentences will run concurrently.

Remember he was quoted saying he was supposed to report to Illinois to serve 4 years.

Why on earth would this man have any access to children . DEVASTATING!

From earlier articles it mentioned Dinkins was supposed to report to Illinois to do 4 years. It was saying he had been moving his things. The article has been updated now and doesn’t show that except in the cached version.
