For months, no one realized the 10-year-old girl was missing. But that changed when police uncovered a troubling gap in her mother’s story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabrielle Patricia Terrelonge, born June 25, 2015, hasn’t been seen since June 30, 2025, when she and her mother, Passha Davis, were spotted exiting a Greyhound bus at a Florida Mall in Orlando.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to an FBI missing-person alert<\/strong>, the child has black hair<\/a> and brown eyes, stands 4 feet 8 inches tall, and weighs about 100 pounds. Investigators say the family has ties across South and Central Florida and may have experienced periods of homelessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My life has been [expletive]. This is the longest I’ve gone without seeing her,” the girl’s father, Gordon Terrelonge, told<\/a> the media in November 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabrielle’s disappearance was thrust into the spotlight in late October 2025, after her father made a shocking discovery: Passha had been arrested in the South Florida city of Margate \u2014 but there was no sign of Gabrielle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gordon said he learned about the arrest through online jail records and immediately contacted police, only for everyone involved to realize, all at once, that Gabrielle was missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mother Arrested but Still No Clue on Gabrielle’s Whereabouts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Passha was initially arrested<\/a> on October 17, 2025, after an alleged shoplifting attempt,<\/strong> but Gabrielle wasn’t with her. She later posted bail on the 31st of the same month after the store ultimately declined to prosecute, though Margate police charged her with resisting an officer and providing false identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few days later on November 4, she was re-arrested \u2014 this time on child neglect charges connected to Gabrielle’s disappearance. <\/strong>According to an arrest affidavit cited by CNN, Passha told<\/a> police she didn’t know where Gabrielle was and “that she should be with her father.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passha’s court filings paint a bleak picture of instability, marked by homelessness, mental health challenges, and ongoing struggles with substance use. Her attorneys said during a November 5 bond hearing that she intends to fight the neglect charges. She remains in custody in Broward County on a $100,000 bond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life on the Move and a Girl Lost in the Shadows<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Passha and Gabrielle reportedly drifted through multiple Florida cities<\/a> throughout 2024 and early 2025. They stayed in hotels, with relatives, and at times even lived out of a car.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March this year, the Florida Department of Children and Families got involved when the pair was found sleeping in a vehicle. <\/strong>The agency helped them relocate to Orlando \u2014 but it’s still unclear why that move was made or what prompted it. Gabrielle was last known to be enrolled in school in Port St. Lucie from April through November 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Thanksgiving, mother and daughter reportedly left a relative’s home and checked into a Motel 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Family Desperate for Answers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gabrielle’s grandmother, Jonett Vassel, is beside herself with worry. While hanging missing posters around Orlando, she told<\/a> the media:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“This is very devastating for me. “I cannot sleep, I cannot eat, I’m fasting, I’m praying. I’m still trusting God, because I’m a Christian, so I’m trusting that he will bring her home.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Gordon also described his daughter as vibrant and full of life \u2014 a little girl who loved nature, coloring, princess costumes, and tea parties. Despite the chaos of their past, he said Gabrielle and her mother were very close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the worried father, he last saw his daughter in May, after a police-involved dispute with Passha in Celebration. “That was the last time I seen them was that night the encounter with the police [sic],” Gordon said<\/a>. He has since passed a polygraph test in connection with the investigation, WESH 2 reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotels, Shelters, and a Father’s Unrelenting Hope<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the weeks drag on, the search intensifies<\/a>. Detectives from Osceola County and Margate Police have been c<\/strong>anvassing abandoned hotels, shelters, and other transient housing sites along West U.S. 192 \u2014 including spots the mother-daughter pair were known to frequent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Gordon has been traveling with detectives as they chase every possible lead<\/strong> in the Orlando area. “I have hope, I have more hope today than I did last time we spoke,” he told<\/a> NBC6 this November. “And last time we spoke, I was [sic], desperation, feeling like the worst, but there’s a lot more hope today.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Because some of the information we got is good and it should lead us to something, to some type of information or clues to know what really happened, or where she is, her location, whereabouts,” he added<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Father’s Message to His Missing Daughter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At a press conference with NBC6, Gordon issued<\/a> a heart-wrenching plea, “If she’s out there and she can hear me now, we’re gonna find you, just hold on.” He also called<\/a> on the public to help, “If anyone knows anything, please come forward and let us know. You may save my child’s life.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities urge anyone with information<\/strong> to contact the<\/a> FBI’s Miami Field Office, Margate Police, or <\/strong>Crime Stoppers<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As investigators retrace every step and the search widens across Central and South Florida, Gabrielle’s family can only wait, pray, and hope for answers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
