FBI Helping Search for Missing Davenport Child

WVIK News

Several teams of agents from the FBI are helping search for a missing Davenport child, ten year old Breasia Terrell. 

Kristi Johnson is Special Agent in Charge for the Omaha field office. And she says agents from the midwest and around the country are involved. 

"Our Evidence Response Team has been present - that is a team that is specially trained in evidence recovery and analysis. We also have had a team that is called the Child Abduction Rapid Deployment Team - that team is made up of about 12 special agents who are trained and have experience and knowledge in working these investigations."
Also helping in the search is the FBI's Cellular Analysis Surveillance Team.

Johnson says the bureau also has contributed 6,500 dollars to the reward fund for the missing child, bringing the total now to 10,000 dollars.

Davenport Police Chief Paul Sikorski again is urging anyone with information about Terrell, from Thursday night July 9th to noon the next day (Friday 7/10) to call his department. 

"So we're searching out different locations, we're doing a lot of stuff with technical analysis with the assistance of the FBI and also our partners at the DCI (Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation). We're doing a lot of interviews and search warrants - just a lot involved with this case."

They also want information about 47 year old Henry Dinkins - her brother's father - he is a registered sex offender and being held on unrelated charges.

After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
