Mother of teen who’s been missing since October still searching for answers
Gabriella Dixon was first reported missing on October 30. The Bibb County Sheriff's Office says the investigation is ongoing.
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Gabrella Searcy, who’s been searching for her daughter for months, is looking to law enforcement and the community for answers.
18-year-old Gabriella Dixon went missing in October.
“My prayer is that I find my daughter,” Searcy said this week.
In November, 19-year-old Jatarvius Price was arrested in Juliette as a person of interest in the disappearance of Dixon. He was charged with making false statements and tampering with evidence. Dixon’s ex-boyfriend, Reginald Harris, was also arrested on outstanding warrants and charged with aggravated assault, terroristic threats and acts, and battery – family violence. The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office told 41NBC at the time of his arrest it could not specify if the charges were in connection with her disappearance.
“If what her ex-boyfriend Reginald Harris told us is correct, then my daughter is deceased,” Searcy said.
Searcy and her family went to Macon City Hall on Tuesday to speak directly to the Mayor and the Board of Commissioners. Macon-Bibb County Mayor Lester Miller said he continues praying for the family.
“I do know that there is a process that we’re trusting,” Mayor Miller said.
The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office sent 41NBC News the following statement:
“We are asking the family and community to please have patience with us while we continue to tirelessly work this case. Please understand that cases like this do take time and meticulous attention to detail. Investigators do not want to rush or disclose any information that may compromise this investigation. Sheriff David Davis and Bibb County Sheriff’s Office Investigators want nothing more than to bring the person responsible for Gabriella’s disappearance to justice. Investigators are continuing to work all leads in the investigation and working closely with the District Attorney’s Office to find Gabriella Dixon. When additional information is available in the investigation, it will be released.”
