FBI Seeks Information On Ashanti Billie's Abduction And Death

CHARLOTTE, NC — The FBI is offering a $10,000 reward for information regarding the abduction and death of 19-year-old Ashanti Billie, the Prince George's County, Md. native whose body was found after she went missing from Virginia Beach for nearly two weeks.

Billie — a 2016 graduate from Henry Wise High School in Upper Marlboro — was last seen on surveillance video entering Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek in Norfolk, Va. at about 5 a.m. Monday, Sept. 18. She was reporting for work at a sandwich shop on base, the FBI said. Billie never arrived at work and did not attend her college classes at the Art Institute of Virginia Beach.

The FBI says her body was recovered near Griers Grove Road in Charlotte, North Carolina on Friday, Sept. 29.

Billie's phone was recovered in a dumpster near the corner of Tallyho Terrace and Azalea Garden Road in Norfolk, about three miles from where she was last seen, Sept. 18.

Her car, with the Maryland license plate number 2CX-0575, was located in the 9500 block of Lakeside Dr. in the Ocean View area of Norfolk Saturday, Sept. 23. Billie drove a 2014 Mini Cooper, white/cream color with a black top and the Maryland Tag 2CX-0575, the FBI said.

The FBI is asking anyone who may have seen Billie and/or her Mini Cooper in the Charlotte area from 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, and/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; and
• The travel corridor from Rt. 58 to I-95 through Raleigh to I-85 to Charlotte.

The FBI is also seeking any private or commercial 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, the FBI said.

Billie's family held her funeral Friday morning at Ebenezer AME Church in Fort Washington, Md.
