Family still searching for missing man

Dashand Stokelin

Denisha Molley just wants to know what happened to her brother. 

Dashand Stokelin was last seen Nov. 22 in Atlantic City. His family hasn't heard from him since.

"To not know, it's just terrifying," Molley said as she stood at the corner of South Carolina and Arctic avenues, wondering if the body found in a trash can could possibly be her brother. The description didn't seem to match, as authorities worked to identify the man, and notify his next of kin. 

It was later determined it was not her brother.

"What are you going to go to every crime scene?" Chakiah Fisher said her boss has asked her. 

If that's what it takes to find the father of her 17-year-old son, then yes, she said.

Stokelin, 38, is the father of five: two 17-year-olds, a 12-year-old and a 10-year-old, all boys. His youngest, a 7-year-old girl. 

Stokelin has never disappeared like this before, Molley said. He has no health issues nor drug problems. He just disappeared along with his car, a blue 2016 Subaru Legacy, with New Jersey tags C79 GVK. 

Anyone who has seen Stokelin or his car is asked to call police at 609-347-5766 or the FBI at 609-977-0565.
