Search ramps up for Shoreacres teen missing since March 22
Posted 8:23 PM, April 22, 2016

SHOREACRES, TX-- Have you seen Abigail English? The 15-year-old redhead went missing from her home in Shoreacres near La Porte on March 22nd.

"She went to walk the dog, and only the dog came back," says her mother, Deborah Dreyer.

"To me it seems like she had a lot of pain bottled up," says her brother Cody Cupp, who like Abigail (or "Abby" as family and friends call her) spent most of his life in foster care. "From experience, it seems she went through some hard times... living through group homes and CPS."

Abby just moved to Texas from California in November to live with her grandmother and get reunited with her mother. But mom says the transition hasn't been smooth, partly because of Abby's mood swings. "It was like there were two Abbys," says Dreyer, "You know, there was like the good Abby and then the other Abby. It was like Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde."

And that's a big cause of concern in all this. Abby takes medicine for her condition, which mom calls bipolar, but she says, doctors have not diagnosed as such. "She's been off her medication for four weeks or a month now," a concerned Dreyer says.

Tim Miller with Texas Equusearch says they originally thought this was a runaway case, but that's changed, "Nobody's heard from Abby. Nobody's seen Abby. So, of course now, we're fearing the worst."
 

 

Guardianship of Abigail English
On the evening of March 22nd 2016, Abigail “Abby” English was walking her dog down her street, and was never seen alive again. Educators and community leaders contacted Texas EquuSearch, and asked for our help to find Abigail. But even before Texas EquuSearch became aware that Abby was missing; the State of California had started legal proceedings to regain custody of young Abigail. On Saturday – April 23rd 2016, and only three hours after beginning the search to find Abigail; the Texas EquuSearch team located human remains near Abby’s home. The Texas EquuSearch team believes the remains are those of Abby, but positive identification must still be made.
Abby had long told her friends that “She only wanted a family, and to be loved”. Abby’s young life has touched the hearts of many people in the Texas EquuSearch family, and many people in the coastal areas of Shoreacres and LaPorte, Texas. It especially touched the heart of Tim Miller. Tim wants to give Abby the family and love she wanted so much. Tim is now seeking legal custody and guardianship of Abigail English, so that he can bury her next to his own daughter, Laura. He also intends to have her own headstone made for her grave. Then Abigail will finally have a family that wants, and loves her. She’ll have the love of the Texas EquuSearch family. http://wp.me/p7cBjs-4Pj

Story takes new twist after teen's body found in Shoreacres

On Saturday, EquuSearch volunteers found human remains believed to be Abigail's near her grandmother's home. As yet there has been no positive identification or ruling as to how she died.

But EquuSearch Director Tim Miller is moving to ensure she won't be as alone in death as she seemed to be in life.

Abigail's mother has given Miller permission to bury her next to his daughter, Laura, in Dickinson.

Laura Miller disappeared in 1984 and was found murdered 17 months later. After her death, Miller devoted his life to finding other parents missing children.

But he felt a connection with the girl it seems no one wanted. A bond with him, and his lost girl.

"Laura disappeared also and they said she was a runaway and we couldn't get any help. Her name was never in (the) news or on TV until her body was found 17 months later. I remember the helpless hopeless feeling. Yes, it touched me." Miller said.

Miller says Abigail's legal custodian is currently the state of California. He has obtained permission from the girl's mother to bury her next to his daughter in Mount Olivet Cemetery in Dickinson. He says he expects California officials will agree to it as well as soon as details are worked out.

Miller will attend  a candlelight vigil for Abigail English Tuesday evening organized by Shoreacre Alderwoman Nancy Janosky Schnell. It will be held at 7:30 p.m. at Baywood and Westview where her body was found.
 

Rest in Peace, Abigail.
