Search warrants released this week offer more information about what allegedly happened July 9, 2020 — the night Breasia Terrell went missing in Davenport.
Terrell's disappearance sparked a nine-month search that ended when the 10-year-old's body was found March 22 by fishermen near DeWitt. About six weeks later Henry Dinkins, the man Terrell was staying with when she disappeared, was charged with her death.
Criminal complaints filed at that time said that in the early hours of July 10 Dinkins, a 48-year-old convicted sex offender, kidnapped Terrell and shot her to death. He's charged with first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping, each of which carries mandatory sentences of life in prison.
