Crystal Lynch, 34, was reported missing from her Houston apartment after she was last seen with her husband, Marquise Rochard Glasper, at their home at 7728 West Gulf Bank Road on May 6, 2023. Her teenage daughter reported her missing on May 7, and police soon shifted the case from a missing-person investigation to a suspected homicide after forensic and witness evidence suggested violence occurred inside the residence.

Investigators say a silver Jeep registered to Crystal contained apparent blood two weeks after she vanished. An August search of the couple’s apartment reportedly turned up blood evidence, two hammers, ammunition, damage to walls, ballistic-related material, and what were described as bleach stains running down a bedroom wall. Surveillance footage and witness statements allegedly placed unusual vehicle movements and Glasper with a firearm on the night of her disappearance, and detectives developed a theory that Crystal was killed in the apartment and her body moved and placed in the Jeep.

On November 22 criminal charges were filed against Glasper for murder, unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, and tampering with evidence involving a human corpse; he was arrested November 25 and booked into Harris County Jail. Crystal’s remains have not been recovered and her family continues to seek answers. If anyone knew Crystal, her routines, or has information about her whereabouts, please come forward to investigators.
