GUILTY NY - Destini Smothers 26, found inside a car trunk, Queens, 3 Nov 2020 *Arrest*

[Dénouement]

Any word from LE yet?

Not yet but her family and loved ones are still looking for her. The father of her children isn’t.

 

[Dénouement]

I wonder if her phone has been pinged. She didn’t take it with her. It would be interesting to see how far from the bowling alley it got and where it travelled to.

Yes, it would.

It's disheartening that she hasn't been found yet.

JMVHO.

Nope but family spoke to Dateline


Her friends told police and her family that Destini had left with her boyfriend of 13 years, who was also the father of her children. He told Destini’s family that they had gotten into an argument while in Destini’s black 2011 Toyota Camry on the Grand Central Parkway and Destini got out and walked away, leaving her purse, wallet, keys and ID behind.

“She would have never walked away without her things,” Destini’s aunt, Shareen King, told Dateline. “And in the middle of the night. It’s not like her.”

Destini’s family told Dateline they knew something was wrong when she didn’t arrive at her mother’s home in the Bronx to grab her clothes for the funeral on November 5. Her two children were also staying there.

Destini’s family told Dateline that the Toyota Camry Destini was last seen in is also missing, but Detective Clements told Dateline there are discrepancies with the whereabouts of the vehicle and would not release further details.

It doesn’t make sense that she would leave literally everything behind.

Her mom live in BX so I’m hoping that she wasn’t completely unfamiliar with the boroughs.

I wonder what the discrepancies with the car are. I know I read a comment about the car on FB but surely LE would check that out.

Could anyone realistically snatch her that quickly?

“She would have never walked away without her things,” Destini’s aunt, Shareen King, told Dateline. “And in the middle of the night. It’s not like her.”

Shareen, along with Destini’s cousins, are crushed over her disappearance. And frustrated that 27 days have passed without any answers.

“It’s been 27 days and nothing,” Destini’s cousin, Dominique Fowler Washington told Dateline. “It’s draining. We’re tired. We just want to know where our cousin is.”

Destini’s family told Dateline they knew something was wrong when she didn’t arrive at her mother’s home in the Bronx to grab her clothes for the funeral on November 5. Her two children were also staying there.

“She loves those children and would do anything for them,” Shereen said. “She wouldn’t just leave them. And there’s no way in hell she’s not calling her mama. My sister is just devastated.”

Detective Russell Clements with the Troy Police Department told Dateline that officers conducted a wellness check at her home in Troy, but she was not there.

“We’ll continue to follow up on any tips and leads we receive,” Det. Clements said. “But this is mainly the NYPD’s case. But our hope remains that someone who knows something will come forward.”

Destini’s family told Dateline they are worried she is being held against her will or that someone has hurt her.

A rally will be held on December 17 at the bowling alley in an effort to spread awareness of Destini’s disappearance and to gain the attention of local elected officials. They hope the case will then be turned over to the FBI.

“It’s been 27 days, but it feels like we’re still on day one because we don’t have any answers,” Shareen said. “We need to find her. We need to find her now.”

She has a tattoo that reads “Kareem Junior” on her right wrist. Destini was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with yellow and white lettering on the front, green camouflage jeans, light brown boots, and gold hoop earrings in both ears. She was last seen carrying a green handbag.

Anyone with information on Destini’s whereabouts is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or on Twitter @NYPDTips. bbm

No, I really don't think anyone could snatch her that quickly.

I feel so badly for her Family and Friends.

Prayers DS is found soon.

 

[kelsie]

She's been with this man since they were just kids. I wanna give him the benefit of the doubt, but like everyone else has said, it also doesn't make sense for her to just ditch her whole life, and I don't know if it is very likely for her to be kidnapped so quickly either.

 

[crhedBngr]

Continued prayers for Destini.

Hoping and praying she is found soon.

[Dénouement]

I don’t understand how she hasn’t been located yet

 

[Dénouement]

Which pd is working on Destiny’s case?

I harp on about CCTV in most cases that I follow. It’s very important. Where is it this case? Where is the boyfriend?

i hope the children enjoyed their Christmas despite this

 

[Acorunadepor]

This reminds me of the Sheryl Sheppard case (Hamilton, Ontario) were the boyfriend supposedly dropped her off near an alley, because she wanted to dance in a strip club that night. A thing Sheryl did on occasions. Well Sheryl still hasn't been found.

A certain narrative used by the last person who had upclose contact, which falls in line with previously established behavior of the missing person. That's usually bad news.

 

[crhedBngr]

Still no word.

Continued prayers that she is found soon.

 

[crhedBngr]

May Destini be found this year.
