Investigators continue to search for answers to Dijone Redd's whereabouts.

''Dijone Redd is missed.
His mother, Stephanie Porter Easterling, said she feels the absence daily as she thinks of the "kindhearted, goofy person" she would joke with and recite scripture with. She said she also sees it in the pain in the eyes of Redd's six children when answers to their father's whereabouts can't come.
It's a difficult thing not knowing where your child is, said Porter Easterling, who admits to chasing down people she sees who resemble the tall young man, and feeling empty when realizing that person is not her son.
"But I'm not going to give up hope because I'm going to keep trusting God. No matter what, he has the last say. But I miss my child," she said.''

His poor Mom -- I can't imagine what agony she is undergoing -- and his children probably still ask when dad is coming home.
He has been missing seven months. Hoping this will end well, but IMO the odds aren't very good. Prayers for all.

I live in Erie, and I can honestly say that there is absolutely no local coverage on this case. I only found out about it from NAMUS about 2 weeks after he went missing. It's heartbreaking.

That's not just a similar name, but I had to get some court records to verify that. Thanks for finding that! He has numerous criminal records in PA, mostly drug related, but of note is a charge in 2018 for 18 § 5126 §§ A F3 Flight To Avoid Appreh/Trial/Punish . So he's been a fugitive in the past which means it can't be ruled out for this occurrence, it's always a possibility but missing voluntarily and safe it better than other things that could have happened. The one case that's ACTIVE is drug related, though a misdemeanor, with the previous history he may have been looking at jail time again. https://ujsportal.pacourts.us/CaseSearch
