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.
A Columbus family is desperately searching for missing woman Chicxxaa Woods, who is presumed murdered by her boyfriend.
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.
