For months, the disappearance of 10-year-old Gabrielle Patricia Terrelonge went completely unnoticed — a heartbreaking silence broken only when investigators uncovered a troubling inconsistency in her mother’s story. What began as a routine arrest late this fall quickly spiraled into a major missing-child investigation stretching across multiple Florida cities. Now, as officials retrace the family’s movements and search for answers, the case has drawn deep concern from both law enforcement and the community.
Gabrielle was last seen on June 30, 2025, stepping off a Greyhound bus with her mother, Passha Davis, at the Florida Mall in Orlando. According to an FBI alert, the child — who has brown eyes, black hair, and stands about 4 feet 8 inches tall — may have experienced periods of homelessness with her family in the months leading up to her disappearance. The case took a dramatic turn in late October when Gabrielle’s father, Gordon Terrelonge, discovered through online jail records that Passha had been arrested in Margate — but Gabrielle was nowhere to be found. That moment triggered a wave of urgent calls to police, who immediately realized the girl had not been accounted for in months.
In the weeks that followed, the situation only grew more complex. Passha was first arrested on October 17 during an alleged shoplifting incident and later charged with resisting an officer and providing false identification. She was arrested again on November 4, this time on child neglect charges linked to Gabrielle’s disappearance. Court documents describe a history marked by instability, homelessness, and mental health struggles. Meanwhile, investigators are piecing together the pair’s movements through hotels, shelters, and temporary housing across Central and South Florida throughout 2024 and 2025. Gabrielle, once enrolled in school in Port St. Lucie, had been living a highly transient life before vanishing from sight.
Determined to find his daughter, Gordon has been traveling alongside detectives as they search abandoned hotels, shelters, and known gathering spots along West U.S. 192 in Orlando. He describes Gabrielle as a joyful child who loved nature, princess dresses, and tea parties — a bright presence now lost in uncertainty. Through tears, both he and Gabrielle’s grandmother have pleaded with the public for help, urging anyone with information to come forward. As the investigation expands, authorities continue to search for answers, hoping to reunite Gabrielle with the family waiting desperately for her return.
