Breasia Terrell, 10, Davenport, 10 July 2020, MEDIA,MAPS,TIMELINE *NO DISCUSSION*

[oviedo]

MOLINE, Ill. (KWQC) - As the search for Breasia Terrell enters day five, many around the QCA are doing their own independent, organized searches to find anything that may help bring Terrell. One duo is using their furry friends in assisting in the search.

“The animals are able to cover about a 100 times more ground than us, it’s only wise, and they want to help!” said David Melchert Jr.

Melchert and his friend, Morgan Enburg, are using their own dogs, Abel and Lexi, to aid in the search. Abel is a five-year-old vizsla and Lexi is a treeing walker hound that was adopted by the pair about a year ago after finding it. Not only do the dogs help in the search, but they also boost morale.

“The public that are also helping have been really grateful to have some sort of dog presence” said Enburg.

About 200 volunteers showed up at Credit Island in Davenport today to look for any clues connected to missing 10-year-old Davenport girl Breasia Terrell.

The search started around 6:30 PM and was active for over an hour. People searching in groups of three or more were handed orange flags to mark areas that they searched.

Kimberly Whitaker with the AWARE Foundation led search efforts in Davenport on Tuesday evening and was glad to see the Quad Cities show up in support.


“It’s overwhelming the support we’ve gotten,” said Whitaker. “Hy-Vee donated water. Little Caesars donated the pizzas. Walmart donated bug spray and flash lights. Staples is doing our posters every week. All so we can bring Breasia home.”

Stephen Echols, senior pastor at the Greater Place Temple in Bettendorf, was helping organizers lead an efficient search. He told Local 4 News that as a father, he felt compelled to go out and help.

“It’s personal because I have a daughter,” said Echols. “If something like this were to happen I don’t know what I would be doing right now. Anyone with a heart understands why we all need to come together right now.”

Whitaker and the AWARE Foundation are currently planning a search party in Clinton for Thursday. The Davenport Police Department announced Tuesday afternoon that Henry Dinkins is a person of interest in the case, who may have ties to Clinton.

“I think my daughter is alive. And I think it’s just a matter of time before Dinkins is ready to crack and tell what he knows."

Lankford confirmed Dinkins asked for the meeting earlier this week. Dinkins is the father of her youngest son, and she had a relationship with him “about eight years ago,” she said.

Lankford said she turned down Dinkins’ first request to speak. Then she reconsidered.

Lankford said Dinkins claimed his innocence and asked her, “Why did you drag me into this?”
