[00:00:00]There is movement in this case.

[00:00:03]>> [music] >> Testing, 1 2.

[00:00:08]Testing, 1 2.

[00:00:11]Good afternoon.

[00:00:14]Good evening.

[00:00:16]Or good morning. Better yet, whenever you're seeing this, I hope you're doing well. It's your girl Bia Octavia, and I am back with another video. We finna kick it off. All right? So, get whatever you need.

[00:00:31]Okay? Get exactly what you need so that you don't move, and I hope you're ready.

[00:00:36]Today, we will be talking about China Crawford.

[00:00:41]The last update I did was around 2 years ago because there was pretty much nothing coming out about China Crawford's disappearance other than speculation and talk on Instagram live from various people. So, fast forward, it is now 2026.

[00:01:03]Certain court documents are now being released, as well as a second indictment has hit the docket. If you are unaware, Mama, >> [laughter] >> please, I'm trying to lock in.

[00:01:18]If you are unaware of this case, 25-year-old China Crawford was last seen Monday, October 23rd, around 10:00 p.m. She was then reported missing by her family after not hearing from her or seeing her for 3 days. The investigation, of course, started within the missing persons unit. As rumors started to swirl, detectives sensed suspicious circumstances about China's disappearance very, very early on. She did not reach out to her family. She did not show up at her job.

[00:01:58]Nothing.

[00:02:01]They damn sure they definitely didn't find her in her apartment.

[00:02:06]I believe I've said this before.

[00:02:11]But the DC culture of chatting way too much really really helped this case.

[00:02:22]It was so many people talking specifically on IG live, Instagram live, folks.

[00:02:30]Especially as her case gained more attention.

[00:02:34]One thing I do love about this specific case is that it gained more attention than a lot of cases in the District of Columbia.

[00:02:46]A lot of people think, oh, the nation's capital, it's going to get solved. Some things have not been solved until 40 years later here. So, it's a blessing that her story was shared, her face was shared across all platforms, and now we are seeing something actually happen.

[00:03:06]There is movement in this case.

[00:03:09]Honestly, folks was saying what happened to China Barb Adam years ago.

[00:03:16]Which is very sick. That's how much people was chatting about the the certain details of what actually happened to her after she was abducted. So, follow me.

[00:03:31]The first person arrested, if you do know the case, is Tweety.

[00:03:36]Lashawn Tweety Washington. From my research, Tweety Tweety doesn't really like showing what she really looks like. If you search up Tweety DC China Crawford, some things along those lines, and you come upon her IG live, you'll see you know an insecure person. And this is not a read, it's just being real.

[00:04:05]An insecure person will have the phone up to the ceiling and still be talking their [ __ ] No, [ __ ] we want to see you.

[00:04:16]But it seemed like she she was like that before and after.

[00:04:20]She ain't want to show herself for [ __ ] She must know that she ain't hitting on nothing. But she got a [ __ ] so I digress on that. And again, that could be because she's really really insecure about her looks. She knows she's not up to par, or it's because she's a real trench [ __ ] See, I'm from Southeast just as she is.

[00:04:47]You think I [ __ ] with them [ __ ] I know a real trench [ __ ] You stay out them [ __ ] A lot of females, they think they cut like a a trench [ __ ] I'm not.

[00:04:58]I can get in the mind of a trench [ __ ] She is the one that's going to set people up.

[00:05:03]She will be the but the [ __ ] is always going to belittle her. She can probably whoop a [ __ ] Being real, you go on a run with her, you will do more than wish you didn't. You cannot be friends with a trench [ __ ] Can't be friends with them. We established that.

[00:05:23]Sweetie is from Southeast. China is from Southwest.

[00:05:28]And her family is mainly in Southwest, and I believe that she had an apartment in Southeast. Uh Sweetie and China were cool at a certain point. They were friends. I'm not really sure the degree of it, but I'm going to tell you what I believe. I believe that Tweety got close to China and she knew exactly where her apartment was. She probably has been in there and it it kind of makes sense. It kind of makes sense that she probably has been in there. Rumors and chatter from a year ago stated that China allegedly got Tweety's car robbed or at least that's what she believed happened. And because of that, Tweety and her boyfriend abducted China. In my notes, I didn't know which one was right, but it kind of makes sense if it's from the parking lot and not being snatched from your actual apartment.

[00:06:32]NDC, like you know, domestics and stuff like that is kind of normal, I would say. If somebody is screaming and and yelling and doing this and that, nine times out of 10, a lot of people is not going to call the police. And it could be a very dangerous situation and people just they turn a blind eye to that type of stuff. I do believe that the the most likely thing that happened was that she was approached and abducted in the parking lot. Tweety's car getting robbed and that being the reason why, you know, on her side and people from her side alleged that China got some [ __ ] to to rob her car. Like you fight somebody about that. You don't abduct them. You don't shoot them. You don't hide their body for years and not give the family answers.

[00:07:31]It It's too drastic for just a car, right?

[00:07:36]That's what I think.

[00:07:39]Honestly, I I believe that Lashawn Tweety Washington of Southeast Washington, D.C.

[00:07:47]was jealous.

[00:07:50]If you look at pictures of China, if you look at her outfits, her car, her this, her that, she was doing the [ __ ] thing, regardless of what she was doing and how she was getting it. She had a job. I've seen her in uniform.

[00:08:05]You know, if you're doing extracurricular [ __ ] outside of that, I don't care.

[00:08:12]She [snorts] had a lot of materialistic things.

[00:08:16]And she was probably She probably had a better character, a better personality than Lashawn.

[00:08:29]Just a overall better person.

[00:08:33]She was younger.

[00:08:35]It was a lot a lot for Tweety to be jealous of.

[00:08:43]31, 32, both of them. The the boyfriend and the girlfriend.

[00:08:51]And and got to take down a young female for her materialistic items that you had to split with a lot of people.

[00:09:01]It doesn't even make sense. I think that it was pure jealousy.

[00:09:06]I think that you know, when you are friends with somebody and you admire the stuff that they have more than the person that they are and how they've helped you as, you know, just being a friend, giving advice, like if if you value the materialistic stuff more, that's why a lot of people are getting backdoored. Because the minute that you fall out with a person, the minute that you fall out with them, they want to set you up, it's because they've always been jealous.

[00:09:41]They just waited for a reason.

[00:09:44]That's what's dangerous.

[00:09:47]So, no.

[00:09:48]A lot of friends you can call people friends, but I I never been in that fashion.

[00:09:55]I never moved that way.

[00:09:57]I call a person an associate right to their face cuz that's what you are. I say hi and bye. We might have a joke or two in passing, but that's it.

[00:10:07]That's it.

[00:10:08][ __ ] you need to see the layout of my house for?

[00:10:12]That's what I feel like happened.

[00:10:14]And and Lord knows like how they even lured her out of the house. Maybe she was getting out of her car, going into her house, maybe she was coming out of her house to get into her car. It could have happened any which way.

[00:10:30]But that is so [ __ ] up.

[00:10:33]It's [ __ ] up.

[00:10:34]No matter how you put it. Once China and Tweety fell out, that was Tweety's opportunity to just find a reason. A crackhead could have came by your window and smashed your [ __ ] You going to blame China. So, the timeline goes as followed. China Crawford was reported missing October 26th of 2023.

[00:10:57]32-year-old Lashawn Tweety Washington was arrested in March of 2024.

[00:11:04]Her 31-year-old boyfriend was just arrested on January 29th of this year.

[00:11:12]And of course, the saddest part of all is the fact that these grown individuals involved two juveniles who have also been charged with first-degree murder. I hate I really despise adults that don't mind helping. It's It's one thing for the for the juveniles to throw their own life away.

[00:11:39]But to involve two juveniles into a crime that they had no business being part of is sick. And just in case y'all juveniles don't know, you can now be charged as an adult for the various and heinous crimes that you may commit.

[00:11:58]We are supposed to be showing them and telling them what's right. And instead, the two adults in this situation, well, three.

[00:12:09]The three adults in this situation aided in these juveniles throwing their life away over a car and some materialistic items. The last suspect other than Tweety, B. Cooper, which is her boyfriend, and the two juveniles is a man named Taiwan Neal. And at this point, it does not really matter if we know which person pulled the trigger.

[00:12:37]All of them going down for the same thing. Hopefully, somebody has enough balls to actually be honest and point police in the direction of where her body was dumped. The report states that she was shot shortly after being abducted in the early morning of October 24th and disposed of right after.

[00:13:00]The main question I have with this, and it's it's I don't mean to be condescending.

[00:13:08]Um I'm from Southeast, too.

[00:13:11]So, this is a huge question that I have.

[00:13:16]How could all of these Southeast heathens, hyenas, whatever you want to call them, hide a body for this long? and that quick? If they, especially the couple in question, the the murderous couple, don't ever speak on the location of her body, it just goes to show how evil they are. And how long they need to stay locked up.

[00:13:44]I seen numerous people saying free Tweety. For what? So she can keep doing this?

[00:13:51]Nah, she she's overly good where she at.

[00:13:55]Tweety's charges are as follow. First degree felony murder, kidnapping, and obstruction of justice.

[00:14:03]I mean, do you know how pathetic it is for a woman to save a man and not herself? This is This is the prime example of that.

[00:14:15]I would never be the only one sitting in jail. Oh, I'm so sorry.

[00:14:21]I would never be the only one sitting in jail.

[00:14:24]He could do whatever he want. He can go on and live his life for two whole years after the crime took place.

[00:14:31]And you've been sitting down this whole time, and you're good with that?

[00:14:39]Y'all need to pull them um them jail phone call logs and see.

[00:14:44]That's probably how they got him, to be honest. I guess that's what they like to call a ride or die chick. Anyhoos, Bee Cooper, who is the boyfriend, was charged with first degree felony murder, conspiracy, armed carjacking, and armed robbery.

[00:15:04]All of these suspects in question are expected to have a status hearing, you know, sometimes those get pushed back or whatever the case may be, so we will see what happens with that.

[00:15:15]Um and I will give you guys an update when that day comes. There are many lessons that I can speak on when it comes to this case. If you know somebody can't match up to your hustle, you work hard, you you have things going for yourself, don't put yourself around them.

[00:15:34]Sometimes it's a situation where you might have known somebody from the past and you try to be back cool with them or whatever the case is and they're a totally different person.

[00:15:46]Or you realize there's nothing that y'all connect on anymore.

[00:15:50]Stay to yourself. There's so many people in the DMV specifically that want to be everywhere and do everything and and have it all. You got to work for it.

[00:16:04]It's a dangerous time to be a young lady because even if you have sense, a lot of the other ones don't.

[00:16:13]You truly cannot trust anybody from the city unless you know them through and through.

[00:16:21]And if it's not family, you truly don't know this person.

[00:16:25]You truly don't know these folks.

[00:16:27]That's at least how I feel. That's how I feel like I've saved myself. It's it's a it's boring, you know? You will have times where you like, "Oh, I wish I had this. I wish I had all these friends."

[00:16:38]And no, it just makes more confusion.

[00:16:42]Luckily, the suspects in this case made a lot of mistakes talking too much on social media. China and Sweetie was actually seen together on the night that she went missing. And I'm pretty sure when they ransacked her apartment, they left hella fingerprints.

[00:17:01]Like just messy, you know?

[00:17:04]I want the book thrown at them for for doing that to China's family because I mean, I remember seeing her sister on the news a lot and on social media as well. Like just beating down a block about her sister. That's That's what you call family. That's what you call love.

[00:17:24]It's because of her that Chyna's story became a nationwide thing, which is is great.

[00:17:31]It's amazing.

[00:17:33]Again, I am praying for the return of her body so that she can be laid to rest properly.

[00:17:41]Nobody Only sickos could possibly deserve to go out that way.

[00:17:51]People that harm children and stuff deserve to go out that way, not nobody that's just on a grind doing their thing and because you're jealous.

[00:18:01]DC is a place where it's crabs in a barrel and you already know.

[00:18:07]All of them trying to get to the top.

[00:18:10]And And however that that looks, you know.

[00:18:14]Most of the time is illegally. I want us to start doing this [ __ ] right.

[00:18:19]And actually being girls girls, DC is filled with just Oh my god. I mean, I guess that could be for a different video, but just hateful women and hateful girls that don't mind tearing the next one down just to make them feel better.

[00:18:42]That's That's what I experienced. I mean, I can only speak for myself. I will see y'all in my next video. Rest in peace to Chyna Crawford. You did not deserve that. You could beg a evil person all you want to and they still going to do exactly what they want, so.

[00:19:01]Another life cut short for little to no reason at all.

[00:19:07]Prayers for her family. I'm hoping that they find her body.

[00:19:11]I'll see y'all in the next one. Bye.
