Faith Lindsey was 17 and a member of the Chickasaw Tribe when she disappeared from Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, on October 28, 2019. She had been living with her 24-year-old boyfriend, Tanner Dean Washington, who initially told police he had dropped her off at work; coworkers said she never arrived for her shift. In the days after she vanished, Faith’s family received texts from her phone that contained unusual spelling and grammar, and one message said she was with someone who would not allow her to come home.

Investigators focused on Washington. He had a prior domestic violence conviction and was on probation for assault and battery involving Faith. His account to police changed multiple times; he later admitted lying about receiving a text that said she had been shot.

Washington was arrested in December 2019 and charged with first-degree murder; federal prosecutors later brought a murder in Indian Country charge. He pleaded guilty in August 2022 to second-degree murder but has refused to disclose where Faith’s body is, which remains unfound. Authorities believe her remains could be in Seminole, Garvin, or Pontotoc County. Did anyone in those areas see Faith around late October 2019 or notice anything unusual involving Tanner Washington?
