As Police Search, Mom Prays For Teen's Return

MIDDLE RIVER, Md. (WJZ) ―

Police continue to search a dumpster company in Middle River for a missing girl as the teen's mother prays she's still alive.

Police continue to search a dumpster company in Middle River for a missing girl. Meanwhile, the teen's mother prays she is still alive.

Suzanne Collins reports police now have new information about a man the girl might have met.

Rochelle Battle, 16, hasn't been seen or heard from for eight days.



Rochelle Battle, 16, hasn't been seen or heard from for eight days.

Baltimore County Police are concerned that Battle may have met a stranger just before she disappeared. Police are identifying him as a white man in his 30s.

This weekend, police continued to search for her or evidence tied to her disappearance miles from her Pimlico home at the Easy Pickins Junk Yard in Middle River.

The teen's mother is in a panic.

"I'm hurting badly because I don't know if she's still here with us or if she's left," said Rochelle's mother, La Tarsha Cockey. "I just want my daughter back."

Cockey last spoke to her daughter on a cell phone Friday, March 6 at 10 p.m. The teen said she took the subway and a bus to Eastern Baltimore County to go to Eastpoint Mall.

Later, the family learned she connected with a man in Baltimore County. Battle had called her girlfriend to say she was with her "white friend." As her family continually tried to get in touch with her, Battle's cell phone went dead.

"At first, it would just ring and go to the voice mail," Cockey said. "Then all of a sudden, it was just off."

Police are not saying what evidence ties Battle's disappearance to the search at the junk yard, which covers more than eight acres.

They have canvassed surrounding woods, sifted through ash in a makeshift incinerator and picked through dumpsters.

"They don't know if she's dead. They don't know if she's alive," said Baltimore County Police spokesman, Bill Toohey. "They don't even know if she's here."

Still, Battle's mother holds out hope.

"I'm hoping for the best, that she's out there somewhere and they're going to find her," said Cockey.

Cockey says she is sure her daughter would have called her if she were OK.

Police want anyone who may have seen Rochelle Battle on March 6 to call the Baltimore County Police Homicide Unit at (410) 887-3943.

Police seek help finding missing Baltimore teen after trash facility search turns up no clues
Baltimore County police are asking for the public's help finding a missing 16-year-old Baltimore girl.

CHASE, Md. —
Baltimore County police are asking for the public's help finding a missing 16-year-old Baltimore girl.

Police said Wednesday that a search of a trash collection facility in Chase over the weekend did not turn up information about the disappearance of Rochelle Denise Battle.

Investigators think Battle may might have taken a bus from Eastpoint Mall to Eastern Boulevard and Old Eastern Avenue between 9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. March 6.

Acting on information they had received, police began searching Ace Roll-Off Services in the 200 block of Earls Road on Friday. The search ended Sunday.

Police Release Photo Of Missing Girl, Seek Tips
Investigators Say Girl May Have Left To Meet Online Acquaintance

BALTIMORE - Baltimore County police have released a photo of a 16-year-old girl who has been missing for nearly two weeks.

Rochelle Denise Battle's last contact with her family was on March 6. Her disappearance was first reported to police in Baltimore city and was later reported to Baltimore County authorities.

"There's been absolutely no sign of her," Baltimore County police spokesman Bill Toohey said. "This has been so long and so absolute, it's very troubling."

Investigators initially felt that information about her disappearance might be found in a trash collection facility in the 200 block of Earls Road in Essex. But a search of that location turned up no information about the girl.

Authorities said Wednesday that new evidence points to the possibility that Battle may have taken a No. 23 or No. 24 MTA bus from the Eastpoint Mall area to the intersection of Eastern Boulevard and Old Eastern Avenue on March 6, WBAL-TV 11 News reporter Kerry Cavanaugh reported.

"There's been no recent activity on the cell phone, no recent sign of her at all," Toohey said.

The north Baltimore teenager was on her way to meet someone at Eastpoint Mall, possibly to meet a man she met online, according to investigators.

"These days, it's almost reflexive with any missing teenager to look at the computer and see what's going on," Toohey said.

Police don't know if Battle ever made it to the mall, and they believe she caught a bus in the area at about 9 p.m. that Friday night.

Police are asking anyone who saw Battle on the bus or at the bus stop to contact Baltimore County police. Detectives are also reaching out to residents of the Earls Road area for information. If anyone in that vicinity saw anything unusual that night, they are also asked to contact police at 410-307-2020.

Battle is about 5 feet 1 inch tall to 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighing 170-190 pounds. She was wearing a brown hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, and boots that came just below her knees.
