Summary:

She was last seen the evening of Saturday, August 30th, 2025 with an older African American male and left all her belongings, including her phone and ID, as if she planned to be right back, but hasn't been seen or heard from since that night. There have been no confirmed sightings since she disappeared.
Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance:
Destinee Bruce was last seen leaving her residence on 08/30/2025 at about 9:00pm, reportedly with a black male, identified as being from Hope/Prescott, AR. They left in the male's vehicle described as a black Mitsubishi Endeavor with Arkansas license plate BEV 20F. She left all her belongings, including her phone and ID, as if she planned to be right back, but hasn't been seen or heard from since that night. Laura Bruce reported her granddaughter missing a few days after she was last seen, mid-afternoon of Tuesday, September 2nd.
Additional Details:
Investigators talked to the man Destinee left with. He's provided information about their day being together, and that was all verified. But it hasn't led them to anything to locate Destinee. Investigators have conducted numerous interviews, searched different properties, and have done probably a dozen search warrants to Facebook accounts and phone accounts with no luck finding her. A warrant was issued for her arrest in September 2025, likely from not complying with the terms of her probation for 2 felony cases that were reopened. Court records show possession of drug paraphernalia, meth, cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl charges with a Class D felony level from May 2019. Destinee gave an old phone to Danny Robinson and apparently did have a new iPhone with her. The family believes Destinee's new phone ended up being found in a burn pile. The family has received only unreliable information, and someone attempted to use Destinee's disappearance to con family members by demanding $1,000 to get her out of jail. Police traced this call and found it came from a foreign country. Her granddaughter was not found to have been arrested or placed in any jail.
