A sex offender accused of killing a 10-year-old girl whose remains weren’t found for months has been convicted of murder.

Henry Dinkins, 51, has been found guilty of the kidnapping and murder of Breasia Terrell. The little girl disappeared while in Dinkins’ custody in Iowa in July of 2020, and her remains were found the following year.

Breasia was the half-brother of Dinkins’ son, identified only as “D.L.” The children had been on an overnight stay at Dinkins’ apartment the night she was killed.
