Authorities are searching for 10-year-old Gabrielle Patricia Terrelonge, who has been missing since June 30, 2025, when she and her mother, Passha Davis, were last seen getting off a Greyhound bus in Orlando. Months passed before anyone realized the child was missing—until Gabrielle’s father discovered Passha had been arrested in October, with no sign of the girl. That discovery triggered an urgent investigation and brought national attention to the case.
Passha, who has a long history of instability, homelessness, and mental health struggles, was first arrested for shoplifting before posting bail. Days later, she was re-arrested on child neglect charges after telling authorities she didn’t know where Gabrielle was. Court records reveal a life in constant motion, with the pair drifting between cities, motels, relatives, and even living out of a car. Gabrielle had last been enrolled in school in Port St. Lucie in 2024.
As detectives search abandoned motels, shelters, and transient areas across Central Florida, Gabrielle’s family is left desperate for answers. Her grandmother, Jonett Vassel, has been putting up missing posters while praying and fasting for her granddaughter’s safe return. Her father, Gordon Terrelonge, describes Gabrielle as bright, loving, and full of imagination. He says his last encounter with her was in May and that he has since passed a polygraph test as investigators retrace the family’s timeline.
Despite weeks without answers, Gordon remains hopeful as he travels with detectives following every possible lead. At a recent press conference, he offered a tearful plea: “If she’s out there and she can hear me, we’re gonna find you. Just hold on.” Authorities urge anyone with information to contact the FBI or local police as the search continues across Central and South Florida.
