Chyna Crawford

In this episode of Lost Girls, we tell the story of 25-year-old Chyna Danielle Crawford — known to her loved ones as “Chay-Chay” — who disappeared from Southeast Washington, D.C., on October 23, 2023.

That day, Chyna spoke with her mother and made plans for the weekend, something that was part of their daily rhythm. She was supposed to meet a friend to go shopping but never arrived. Calls went unanswered. Her phone was turned off and could not be tracked. When police conducted a welfare check at her apartment, nothing appeared disturbed — yet Chyna was gone. Her gray 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS 550, displaying a temporary Virginia tag, vanished with her.

Chyna was described as vibrant, close to her family, and in constant communication with her mother. She wore her hair in long dreadlocks and had two distinctive tattoos: the name “Anthony” on her hip and a heart with devil horns on the right side of her chest. In the days that followed her disappearance, fear grew quickly. The silence felt wrong.

The episode walks through the timeline, the early investigative steps, and the heartbreak of a family searching for answers in a city that never stops moving.

Important update not reflected in the original episode:

In March 2024, Lashawn “Tweety” Washington was charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, and obstruction of justice in connection with Chyna’s disappearance. Authorities allege she and others kidnapped Crawford with the intent to rob her and ultimately killed her. In January 2026, a second suspect, Bjarni Cooper, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, felony murder, conspiracy, armed carjacking, and armed robbery. As of February 2026, both suspects are awaiting trial.
