The reward for a 10-year-old girl reported missing in Iowa two weeks ago has increased to $10,000, authorities say.
During Wednesday's news conference, Johnson said the FBI was increasing the reward to $10,000 for any information that helps authorities locate Breasia or that leads to the arrest of anyone involved in her disappearance." that her 8-year-old son spent the night of July 9 with his father, Henry Dinkins, and Dinkins' girlfriend. Breasia also spent the night after Dinkins offered to watch her, Lankford said.
Lankford said she checked on her children that night and received a text message from her daughter saying,"Good night, Mama, I love you."“At first I laughed because it sounded like a joke. It didn’t make any sense. It’s not like her,” Lankford told"Dateline." “She would never walk out, especially in the middle of the night. In the dark? No. Never.”
A statewide Amber Alert was issued for Breasia five days after she vanished and it named Dinkins as her alleged abductor. Davenport police have since classified him as a person of interest in the case but have not said he is a suspect. Police Chief Paul Sikorski said Wednesday that authorities are seeking information about Dinkins' vehicles and his whereabouts from 10 p.m. on July 9 to noon on July 10. It's believed that Dinkins' primary car is a maroon Chevy Impala, the chief said.
