Danielyelle Jolene White has been missing since the spring of 2004. The then-23-year-old was living in Killeen, Texas at the time of her disappearance. Reports state that Danielyelle lived on 22nd Street and also often frequented the Gilmer Street area.
Danielyelle was reported missing in June 2004 by a man named Ernest T. Turner, who claimed to be her father. Throughout the investigation, detectives determined that Danielyelle was last seen in Killeen on May 21st, 2004. Detectives also learned that Turner is not actually Danielyelle's biological father, and it's unclear why he told authorities that they are related.
Reports indicate that Danielyelle's family members were not notified about her disappearance for several months. An article from 2005 states that Danielyelle's mother, Sharon Clark, learned on December 1st, 2004, that her daughter had been reported missing by Ernest T. Turner. Clark told authorities that she had not seen Danielyelle since April 2004.
Danielyelle's last encounter with her mother occurred at a courthouse in Belton. At the time, Danielyelle was reportedly struggling with substance abuse and various other mental health issues. The court subsequently gave custody of Danielyelle's son to her mother. The court also banned Danielyelle from living in the home with her son. As a result, she moved in with Turner.
Family and friends of Danielyelle grew very concerned upon learning that she had been missing for several months. According to her mother, Danielyelle had been committed to mental health facilities 21 times in the years leading up to her disappearance. In addition to her struggles with mental health and substance abuse, Danielyelle also reportedly had associations with local gangs. All of these circumstances raised concerns for Danielyelle's safety from both her loved ones and investigators.
Over two decades have passed, and Danielyelle's case remains unsolved. There are still very few details available about the events leading up to her disappearance. The investigation is still open, though it's considered a cold case.
