 (Above photo credit: nbcwashington.com) From Fox 5 Washington D.C.: NORFOLK, Va. - The FBI is searching for a teen from Prince George’s County after she was last seen at an Army base in Norfolk, Virginia. Authorities say 19-year-old Ashanti Markaila Billie was last seen entering Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek on Sept. 18. Ashanti Billie’s family told FOX 5 the teen, who attended Dr. Henry A. Wise Jr. High School in Upper Marlboro, was going to work at the Blimpie sandwich shop on the base. Officials said Ashanti Billie never showed up for work and did not make it to her class at a culinary school in the Virginia Beach area. Her family said Ashanti Billie showed no signs of being in trouble and, in fact, was excited about a recent job promotion at work. “She was excited about it and that was something she shared with me. We would talk every other day and throughout those conversations her job would come up in there somewhere, somehow because she was excited about it,” her father Meltony Billie said. The FBI said Ashanti Billie's cellphone was found later on Sept. 18 in a dumpster located near the corner of Tallyho Terrace and Azalea Garden Road in Norfolk, Virginia. Her car was later discovered on Saturday in the 9500 block of Lakeside Drive in the Ocean View area of Norfolk, Virginia, about 12 miles from the Army base with the windows rolled down. Her parents were in the Virginia Beach area helping in the search for their daughter. “We want people to see that we’re out here looking because this is real life to us,” her father said. “This is something we would never wish on anybody." "We’re desperate because it’s going on eight days now," her mother Brandy Billie explained. Officials described Ashanti Billie as a black woman, standing about 4 feet 10 inches to 4 feet 11 inches tall, weighing about 135 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. Ashanti Billie drove a cream-colored Mini Cooper with Maryland plates 2CX-0575. Anyone with information that could aid detectives in their investigation was urged to call the FBI's Norfolk Field Office at (757) 455-0100.The FBI is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the location of Ashanti Billie.www.fox5dc.com/news/local-news/fbi-searching-for-missing-prince-georges-county-teen-in-norfolk-virginiaFBI website information poster: www.fbi.gov/wanted/kidnap/ashanti-markaila-billie************UPDATE**********

I agree this doesn't look good.
It's also terrible either way.
Either you discover your loved one is deceased, or you discover it's not her when at least as sad as confirmation would be it would have taken away the not knowing.
My thoughts are with the family and I hope they get answers soon

Thank you for the update. No cause of death yet it seems but if her death is ruled a homicide I'll move this to the unsolved section (unless an arrest is made as well).
Seems like an obvious homicide but unfortunately can't move to another section unless it's officially declared as one.

Update: The FBI is offering a $10,000 reward and reaching out to the public to try to find out who murdered Ashanti Billie, a 19-year-old woman whose body was found in North Carolina days after she went missing from Virginia. Billie, who was a student at The Art Institute of Virginia Beach, was reported missing on Sept. 18 when she did not show up for her job at a sandwich shop in Norfolk. Her cellphone was found later that day in a dumpster nearly 3 miles away from the area. Neighbors spotted her car Sept. 23 on a dead-end road in the Ocean View section of the city. They told police the car had been there for several days. Billie drove a 2014 white/cream color Mini Cooper with a black top and Maryland tags 2CX-0575. Her body was found behind a church in Charlotte, North Carolina on Sept. 29. The FBI is asking anyone who may have seen Ashanti or her Mini Cooper in the Charlotte area during the time frame of Monday, Sept. 18 to Saturday, Sept. 23 to contact the FBI Norfolk Field Office. The Mini Cooper may have been seen in the area surrounding Griers Grove Road, or along any potential travel route between Hampton Roads and Charlotte, including but not limited to: The travel corridor from Rt. 17, to I-64 through Rocky Mount and Raleigh to Charlotte The travel corridor from Route 58 to I-85 through Durham and Greensboro to Charlotte The travel corridor from Rt. 58 to I-95 through Raleigh to I-85 to Charlotte. The FBI is also asking for residents and businesses to provide video surveillance recordings or digital dash-cam videos that may have captured the Mini Cooper traveling between Hampton Roads and Charlotte during the same time frame. Anyone who has any information should call the FBI Norfolk Field Office at 757-455-0100 or email agnorfolkFO@fbi.gov with the subject line: ASHANTI BILLIE. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/FBI-Asking-for-Publics-Help-Find-Ashanti-Billie-Killer-450696613.html |

As a result of the FBI now asking for information on Ashanti's Killer, I will be moving her case to the exclusive unsolved section as a currently (but hopefully not for long) unsolved homicide.

Here’s her seeking information poster: www.fbi.gov/wanted/seeking-info/ashanti-markaila-billie----1Here’s a clear image of her Mini Cooper.   I know this may be off topic and a very insignificant piece of info, but Ashanti Billie’s Mini Cooper has the default Maryland tags that have been issued since 2016, so there’s a good chance she got her car within the last year and a half. Also here’s the image of a sample tag up close  |
