Family Notices Alarmingly Strange Social Media Activity

Woods’ family has indicated that early signals of trouble appeared through unusual posts on China’s Facebook account. Relatives claim that the messages did not reflect her usual style, raising immediate concerns.

They allege that her boyfriend, Frank Matthews—a resident of Columbus originally from Bridgeton, New Jersey—could be the one posting on her behalf. The family notes that a series of concerning statements, including a vague message implying “she’s gone,” emerged just before a photo allegedly surfaced showing China lying on the floor. This content was quickly deleted but has been widely screenshotted and shared on the internet.

Police Efforts

Columbus Police indicate that detectives are investigating various potential locations connected to the case. Since the inquiry is still underway, no further details regarding suspects, persons of interest, or indications of foul play have been made available.

A missing person report has been officially filed with the Columbus Police Department, and officials are requesting anyone with information to come forward immediately.

“A beautiful soul, mother, sister, daughter is MISSING, presumed IN DANGER! Our sister Chicxxaa Woods needs all of our help. Call us, sis. We just need to know you’re alright. Please, if anyone knows anything, reach out to Red Red or myself. Please, please, please! Frank Matthews, where is she?!”

Another significant concern circulating online involves accusations that Woods's boyfriend is impersonating her on social media, sending messages and making unsettling comments. These claims have not yet been verified and are currently being investigated by authorities.

Woods’ family reports that the past few days have been extremely painful. Her sister, known as Red Red, filed the missing person report and continues to appeal to the public for any information, emphasizing that the family has been unable to reach her despite numerous attempts.
