Where Is Danielle Webster? Threatening Texts Haunt Missing Woman’s Loved Ones


Authorities in Mississippi are looking for Danielle Webster. The 27-year-old Copiah County woman reportedly vanished from her home last Friday, but a series of disturbing texts surround this case in a way that has her loved ones believing something horrible has happened to her. WDAM News reports that authorities are looking for her ex-boyfriend, who may have information about her whereabouts.

When Danielle disappeared last Friday morning, she reportedly left behind three young children. This detail alone has her loved ones fearing a tragedy, but that’s not the worst of it. At least one of her close friends has received text messages from her former boyfriend that seem a lot like threats. Michael Herring reportedly texted Christy Thedford with an ominous quote.

“You know, my Grandpa told me if you love something, set it free, and if it don’t come back hunt it down and kill.”

The Clarion Ledger reports that there were apparent signs of a struggle in the residence where Danielle Webster was last seen. However, it’s possible that the condition of the residence could be benign. The missing woman’s current boyfriend, Brad Cline, confirmed with media sources that Danielle was afraid of her ex-boyfriend. He says he was at home when she vanished, but it’s unclear if he knows anything more.

“I was at the house and she was gone when I went to work. I got a call to come home and she was missing and all her clothes, purse and cigarettes were still there.”

Danielle Webster reportedly stands at 5’3? and weighs approximately 115 lbs. She has long blonde hair and brown eyes. The prime suspect in her disappearance, Michael Stephen Herring, stands at 6’3? and is about 200 lbs. He has brownish grey hair and goes by the name “Cheese Dip” around his circle of friends. Authorities believe that he may have information about what happened to Webster. He is being sought in more than one state, having possible ties to Louisiana and Alabama due to his employment.


Michael Herring could be driving a four-door pickup truck with an extended cab, which may or may not be pulling a fifth-wheel trailer. The license plate for this vehicle is LP7-203. If you spot either the suspect, the missing woman or this vehicle, call 911 immediately.
