Police: Remains found in rural Iowa are missing girl, 10
Associated PressIOWA CITY, Iowa — Human remains discovered in rural eastern Iowa have been identified as a 10-year-old girl who was reported missing last summer, police said Wednesday. Davenport Police Chief Paul Sikorski said an autopsy confirmed the remains are Breasia Terrell, a Davenport girl whose July 10 disappearance prompted an extensive search and investigation. “This news is heartbreaking to both Breasia’s family and our Davenport community,” an emotional Sikorski said at a news conference in Davenport, on the Iowa-Illinois state line. Investigators searched for Breasia in rural Clinton County last July, citing “newly developed information,” but that search was called off days later, when Sikorski said police determined their time would be better spent following other leads.
