Candace Crawford, 38, was last heard from on February 12, 2026, while in Columbia, South Carolina. A relative reported her missing on February 28 after weeks of silence. She is described as 5 feet 0 inches tall, about 165 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes; there is no reliable record of what she was wearing when last seen.

A few days before her last contact, her phone was reportedly stolen and she was using a WiFi number to communicate. An extended family member received unusual texts suggesting she planned to go stay with and work for someone several hours away, but the messages were vague and unverifiable. Her social media accounts went silent after February 13, and the Columbia Police Department has opened an investigation without publicly saying whether foul play is suspected.

There are gaps in the timeline and no confirmed sightings after February 12. Anyone with information about Candace’s movements in mid-February 2026 or who received similar messages is asked to come forward.
