Devine Tollett, 18: Disappeared From Houston In 2018
Her loved ones continue to seek answers, but information is scarce.
This case was brought to my attention by a supporter of OBG who believes this 18-year-old young lady deserves more attention, but finding information about her hasn’t been easy.
Most databases list Devine Tollett as missing on April 1, 2018, yet there are online sources claiming her family last had contact with her on April 12. Additionally, her Twitter account shows that someone reposted a tweet from a friend of Devine’s on April 6. That retweet didn’t contain any other information or captions, so it is unclear if it was published by Devine or someone else.

Loved Ones Keep This Case Alive
Over the years, Devine’s friends and loved ones have continued to raise awareness about her missing person case out of Houston, and while there have been bursts of reshares and comments on social media posts, news reports remain scarce. Nothing has been shared about Devine’s personal affairs or relationships, and what can be found in public records is the basic information about her missing date and physical attributes.
In November 2019, someone claiming to be her friend shared on social media that they tried to contact a person who allegedly was the last to have contact with Devine.
There have been several rumors and theories regarding this mystery. Some have suggested she may have been trafficked, while others have called out people Devine spent time with in Houston, demanding answers. Still, this case has not received adequate updates in years.

At the time of her disappearance, Devine Tollett stood 5 feet 1 inch tall and weighed 130 pounds. She had black/dark brown hair and brown eyes. Any other distinguishing marks are unknown, as are the clothes she was last seen wearing. Her middle name is “Rolynn.”
