Millbrook Twins Disappearance Is The Investigation Still Going?

Fraternal twins Jeannette Latrice and Dannette Latonia Millbrook from Augusta, Georgia, went missing on March 18, 1990, when they were 15 years old.

Due to typos in police reports, their last name is sometimes misspelled as “Millbrook,” and Jeannette’s middle name is frequently given as “Latessa.”

A gas station employee at the Pump-N-Shop on the intersection of 12th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard last saw the twins at 4:30 p.m. After being closed in 1991, their case was reopened in 2013. 

The girls and their families went to church on Sunday, March 18, 1990. They ate lunch at a Church’s Chicken around noon and brought it home, where Jeannette informed their mother that a white van had been pursuing them. Mary turned to look outside but couldn’t find the white van.

The twins had to leave the house again at about 3 o’clock to travel to their godfather’s house to get money for their bus fare since they took the city bus to and from school.

The youngsters went to their cousin’s house and invited her to walk home after leaving their godfather’s house on Forest Street.

Because it would soon be dark, the cousin’s mother forbade her from going with the twins. They stopped by their older sister’s house for around fifteen minutes after visiting their cousin. They asked their older sister to accompany them, but she declined because she had just given birth. 

Family members thought it odd that the twins made several requests after they vanished.

They then proceeded to a nearby gas station, where they made purchases of soda, chips, and sweets. Gloria, the cashier, was acquainted with the twins and could not recollect any unusual behavior on their part. She was the final person to see Dannette and Jeannette. 

Jeannette was last seen sporting a beige skirt, white stockings, and white sneakers over a blue pullover top over a white turtleneck. She was 125 pounds and 5’4″ at the time of her disappearance. 

Dannette’s last known attire included a white shirt with a Mickey Mouse print, white jeans, and black shoes. She was 130 pounds and 5’6″ at the time of her disappearance. It has been said that Dannette is “bowlegged.”

The girls shared pierced ears, Jheri-curled shoulder-length hair, and a scar from a procedure performed soon after birth close to their navels. 

Dannette and Jeanette attended Lucy Laney High School as students. The twins had a reputation for being good students who avoided problems; they had never gone away before, and there didn’t seem to be any explanation for why they vanished.

Except for one incident, which happened due to one of the twins being tormented at a bus stop, the twins had no history of misconduct. 

In 1991, two young girls, Jeannette and Dannette Millbrook disappeared in Augusta, Georgia. The family was instructed to wait 24 hours before filing a report, and the original police file is allegedly missing, so little is known about the initial investigation. 

The investigator in charge of the case claims that a juvenile case officer informed him that the girls had been located, leading to the case being closed and the girls being removed from the federal missing children’s database. 

However, errors in the initial investigation’s reports, such as misspelling the family’s last name and listing Jeannette’s middle name incorrectly, persisted in case files and related databases, such as The Charley Project and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. 

Despite the case being closed, the family continued to contact the Sheriff’s department over the years, and the case was reopened in 2013 as a result of these inquiries.

The family met with the Sheriff’s office in 2017 to discuss the case and provide DNA samples, but it is unclear if the investigation is still ongoing as of 2019. The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office is currently in charge of the investigation.
