NC NC - Jalesa Reynolds, 18, Scotland Neck, 22 Feb 2010

[AnonymousD]

I found the search warrant while poking around this morning. I just wanted to add it here incase it disappears from the news website.

It states that there were in excess of fourteen (14) 911 calls made from the area where Jalesa was last known to be (the sex offender's home). Coming from burner cell phones, and a man trying to disguise his voice to sound like a female. One of the phone calls sounded like there were fake gunshots in the background.

They took multiple cell phones from his home. One of them has a pastel colored cover on it......

Remains found in Halifax County, NC (where Jalesa went missing). The article states they don't know if it is a man or a woman, however, then it states the SBI has stated it is not Jalesa.

"I never stop thinking about her, and I never gave up hope. It got me very excited. No matter how long it's been, there's always a miracle somewhere," said Jalesa's mother Bernice Reynolds.

Thinking of you this morning, Jalesa. :rose:

I know it's a bit of a long shot, but could this be you, Jalesa?

The article doesn't state where in Pitt County. From Scotland Neck to the northern most tip of the Pitt County line would only be about 26 miles. Taking that line & making it to the southern most tip of the Pitt County line from Scotland Neck would be about 61 miles.

Deputies said the decomposition was too severe to identify, so officials are awaiting a report from the medical examiner.

Sadly, it was not Jalesa.

The article is updated stating that 3 people are charged with murder. Which is a tad confusing, because it also states they have not been able to identify the victim (remains) yet?

Sheriff Neil Elks says they have not yet been able to identify the victim in the homicide, but they believe the man is from New York.

WELDON, N.C. —

More than 125 people, including volunteers, law enforcement and emergency responders, plan to gather Saturday to search for three missing Halifax County women.

Amy Wells Bridgeman, 42, went missing in Weldon in June. Jalesa Reynolds, 18, was last seen at the Halifax Memorial Library in February 2010, and Shonda Stansbury, 24, disappeared from Roanoke Rapids in December 2006.

So. This morning I was checking up on our local news & ran across this story. Before Jalesa was mentioned, I knew the sex offenders name was familiar to me, but I couldn't place why.

Seems our boy is trying to play "it wasn't my idea" and come off of the sex offender registry.

Rapist Wants Off Sex Offender Registry, Victim Fights Back

She said Reginald Holmes and Dwayne Davis approached her in Halifax County on their bikes, pressed a tool to her back, and told her to walk. She did, all the way to Martin County.

"And when they thought we were far enough away from town and away from everybody, they assumed to rape me in front of church," said Nora. "In front of the church sign. After they raped me, they told me not to get up, don't move, and they took off on their bikes."

Since Davis has been out of prison, he has had a few other run in's with authorities for simple array in 2001 and larceny in 2002. Davis became a person of interest in the disappearance of Jalessa Reynolds, the 18-year-old Halifax County girl who was last seen in 2008 and has not been heard from since. Davis was never charged in that case.

Jalesa was on my mind tonight & I realized I never updated the story above.

Dwayne Davis is still on the sex offender registry. The judge denied his request to be removed! DD's home was the last place Jalesa was known to be alive. We are fast approaching 5 years since anyone has seen her.

http://www.witn.com/home/headlines/...er-Registry-Victim-Fights-Back-256502041.html

Davis served more than six years in prison and had to register for ten years, but now that time is up.

Davis was hoping to get off that list.

On Monday that order was not granted.

Judge Wayland Sermons Jr. signed off to require him to stay on the registry.

****ETA*****
Googling Jalesa's name, it looks like someone at the Halifax Co Sheriff's office is still thinking of her, too. That warms my heart. I'm local to this & don't hear much about her. Glad to see they posted this on 12/21/14.

Jalesa has been missing for six years now.

Scotland Neck Police Department

Remembering The Missing - March 2015

Jalesa Reynolds was just 18 the last time she was seen by her family in 2010. Her mother Bernice Reynolds said she liked riding her bike, talking on the phone and visiting the Scotland Neck library.

The day she went missing, her mother was waiting for her to come home from the library, Reynolds said.

“She didn’t come back that day and I knew something was wrong,” she said. “I knew when she wasn’t home by 8 or 9 (p.m.) something was wrong.”

She said she called the police but they told her she had to wait until the next day. When she did meet with them on Feb. 23, she said she gave police all of the information she could and they went from there.

As previously reported by The Daily Herald, police analyzed Jalesa’s computer activity and social media with help from the State Bureau of Investigation in hopes of tracking her movements the day she disappeared. They conducted numerous searches in wooded areas, down by the Roanoke River and at the home of a registered-sex offender they believed may had interacted with Jalesa. The case still went unsolved.

Detectives seek leads on missing teen

http://www.rockymounttelegram.com/News/2017/03/03/Detectives-seek-leads-to-missing-teen.html

Jalesa Chantell Reynolds, 18, disappeared Feb. 22, 2010. She is still classified as a missing person, but local and state authorities have said they believe foul play was involved.

Reynolds’ family remains hopeful that she will be found safe but said recently their hope diminishes a little with each passing year.

Dwayne Hosea Davis, who lives at 235 Cemetery Road, is the only publicly identified suspect in the case. Reynolds is known to have been in the presence of Davis just prior to her disappearance, according to search warrants.

Reynolds went by the nicknames J and Lesa. She is described as a black female, around 5 feet tall and weighing around 200 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes with dark pigment on her arms. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing khaki pants, a pink shirt, a blue jean jacket with a flower print, black tennis shoes with Velcro straps and bobby pins in her hair.

The governor’s office offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case. Anyone with information is asked to call the Scotland Neck Police Department at 252-826-4112 or the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation at 252-756-4755.

Visitors to the Halifax County Courthouse on Ferrell Lane have a new reminder of the county’s missing. The Halifax County Missing Persons organized the planting of what she called a “remembrance tree” in front of the courthouse, which means every vehicle that passes to the structure will have to pass the tree.

Details of Disappearance​

Reynolds was last seen in Scotland Neck, North Carolina on February 22, 2010. On the day of her disappearance, she went to the Scotland Neck Memorial Library to access the internet, something she had been doing lately on a daily basis. She logged off her Facebook account at the library at 11:00 a.m.

At 1:40 p.m., she logged on again from a computer at the home of Dwayne Hosea Davis in the 200 block of Cemetery Road, about one and a half miles outside of town. Authorities believe Reynolds left that residence between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m. This is the last indication of her whereabouts; she has never been heard from again.

Davis is a registered sex offender; he served almost seven years in prison for a 1994 rape conviction. A photo of him is posted with this case summary. Investigators have named him as a suspect in Reynolds's disappearance, but he hasn't faced any charges connected with it.

In a media interview, Davis admitted he knew Reynolds and that she had come to his house, used his computer and visited his horses, but denied having harmed her and said he didn't know what had happened to her.

Reynolds is described as a shy teenager who was more outgoing online than in person. She was unemployed at the time of her disappearance and attended GED classes at Halifax Community College. Foul play is suspected in her case, which remains unsolved.
