The search for a missing teenager from the Longview area ended around noon on April 2, when Cass County Precinct 2 Constable Jerry Goodson located her in the Bryans Mill area of Cass County. Destiny Battendy, 16, had been reported missing on March 25.
“I got a lot of tips on Facebook and received a couple of text messages that the teenager was with a particular individual,” Constable Goodson said. “I went over in the Bryans Mill area, asked around and was able to locate the person she was with. I snatched her up and carried her to the authorities in Harrison County. She had been reported as a runaway.”
