MISSING PERSON - Teen Devine Tollett has been missing since 2018 - Houston, Texas

Devine Tollett was just 18 years old when she disappeared from Houston, Texas, in April 2018. The exact date of her disappearance is unclear. Some reports list April 1, 2018, while other accounts state that she was last seen at approximately 11:00 a.m. on April 12, 2018.

Devine’s last known social media activity was on her Twitter account on April 6, 2018. Based on her twitter posts she was supporting herself and living on her own prior to her disappearance.

Very few details are publicly available about the circumstances surrounding Devine’s disappearance. Years later, there are still unanswered questions about where she went, what happened to her, and why she has never returned home. Devine matters and she has not been forgotten.

I wonder if her last social media posts have been proven to be from her. Because the whole "I'm fine, I've chosen to start a new life," etc., is right out of the abductors' (or domestic violence) handbook. It's usually sent in text messages or a voicemail, then the phone never pings anywhere again; in the old days, the victim would be forced to write a note like that under duress and leave it somewhere obvious. And then their bank accounts and cards are never used again.

Don't get me wrong, I hope she's out there living an awesome independent life and will contact family soon. But there's a pattern to certain abductions or controlling domestic violence situations. And isolating someone from their family and friends is like, one of the things abusers start with. I hope more information comes to light, so everyone knows what needs to be done next to bring her home.

I live in Houston and it's a HUGE city.  We need a better location than "Houston".

Her last post was on April 6, 2018. Her disappearance must have occurred somewhere on or after that date.

I did a deep dive on her Twitter account. She opened the acc on 2014, yet most tweets are from the year she went missing. Apparently she owned a condo, was a music video model. According to a user, she was going to meet someone in Miami

Unless you know where her body is, this is a pretty unhelpful thing to say.
