Ten-year-old Breasia Terrell disappeared from Davenport, Iowa, after spending the night of July 9, 2020, at the apartment of Henry Earl Dinkins, the father of her younger half-brother. Breasia sent a final goodnight text to her mother that evening; by the early morning of July 10 both Breasia and Dinkins were gone and her mother reported her missing later that day. An AMBER Alert named Dinkins, a registered sex offender, as the alleged abductor and a large search involving local and federal authorities and volunteers followed.

Human remains found by fishermen in a pond near DeWitt, Iowa, on March 22, 2021, were later identified as Breasia. An autopsy determined she died of multiple gunshot wounds. Authorities charged Henry Dinkins with first-degree murder and kidnapping in May 2021; prosecutors presented testimony including a timeline of Dinkins’ movements the morning Breasia vanished and testimony from Breasia’s younger brother. A judge later found Dinkins guilty and he received two life terms without parole.

Does anyone have information about Breasia’s last known movements on July 9–10, 2020, or about the locations investigators followed early in the case?
