A Columbus family is desperately searching for missing woman Chicxxaa Woods, who is presumed murdered by her boyfriend.
Columbus Police have confirmed that a missing person report has been filed this week for China Woods, widely known on social media as “Chicxxaa Woods.” Her family says they have not seen or heard from her since Wednesday, and growing online panic has led to an active police investigation.
Woods, who lives in Columbus, Ohio, was last heard from three days ago. Loved ones describe her disappearance as completely out of character, leaving her family devastated and pleading for answers.
Description of Missing Woman
Family members describe China Woods as:
- Height: Approximately 5’6″–5’7″
- Appearance: Light-skinned
- Hair: Maroon-brown, curly
- Eyes: Hazel
- Identifying Marks: A large tattoo across her chest and shoulder
- Piercings: Several on her face and lips
- Date of Birth: October 24, 1996
Police have not yet publicly released updated information, but detectives are actively following leads and searching multiple locations.
Family Reports Disturbing Social Media Activity
According to Woods’ relatives, the first indications that something was wrong came from unusual posts appearing on China’s Facebook account. Family members say the posts did not sound like her and raised immediate concern.
Loved ones allege that her boyfriend, Frank Matthews—a Columbus resident originally from Bridgeton, New Jersey—may have been posting from her account. The family claims that a series of disturbing messages, including a cryptic post implying “she’s gone,” appeared shortly before a photo was allegedly uploaded showing China lying motionless on a floor. The content was quickly deleted but heavily screenshotted and shared online.
These claims have not been confirmed by law enforcement at this time. Police have only confirmed that a missing person case is open and that detectives are investigating all leads.
Police Response
Columbus Police say detectives have been dispatched to multiple possible locations connected to the case. Because the investigation is active, no additional details have been released regarding suspects, persons of interest, or potential foul play.
A missing person report has been officially filed with the Columbus Police Department, and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward immediately.
Community and Family Reactions
Concern for Woods has escalated rapidly across social media, where she is well known as Chicxxaa Woods. Her sister has been speaking publicly online, begging for help and sharing updates.
One friend posted an emotional plea:
“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 straight. Please, if anyone hears anything, get in touch with Red Red or myself. Please, please, please! Frank Mathews, where is she?!”
Another widespread concern online involves allegations that Woods’s boyfriend is impersonating her on social media, posting messages, and making unsettling comments. These claims remain unverified and are under review as part of the police investigation.
A Family Desperate for Answers
Woods’ loved ones say the past several days have been agonizing. Her sister, known as Red Red, filed the missing person report and continues to plead with the public for tips, saying the family has not been able to reach her despite repeated attempts.
China is described by those close to her as a mother, sister, daughter, and cherished friend, with many calling her disappearance terrifying and unlike anything she would ever do voluntarily.
Anyone With Information Is Urged to Contact Columbus Police
Columbus Police encourage anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of China “Chicxxaa” Woods—or any tips related to the case—to immediately contact the department’s Missing Persons Unit.
The investigation remains active and ongoing.
