On October 17, 2022, Crystalyn’s vehicle, an older model Buick LaSabre, was found abandoned at the parking lot of the Post Office in Weirsdale, Florida, about seven miles away from Summerfield. A notice was placed on the vehicle, which was eventually towed back to Mobley’s residence.

Her phone records, bank account, and social media have had no activity since her disappearance.
“This is not like her. There has been no social media activity, no phone calls. No one has seen her. She has not contacted her children. She has dropped off the face of the earth,” Pait-Strickland (Crystln’s cousin) told the Ocala Star-Banner.

Did anybody try to claim the car whether it be family or friend ‘ s , and what reason was given , is anybody a person of interest ? .
They haven’t gone to trial yet, so I’m sure most of these details are still being withheld to help finish the investigation and build a case. Why would she leave her children? Did you just read the same thing I read, does it sound like she went willingly or was lured and kidnapped. They didn’t car jack her cause the left the car. The child was a decoy I’m guessing since as soon as she was heard approaching him someone ambushed her. I highly doubt she went on vacation and had a blast to get away from her children. Where she was and the details of it are part of an on going investigation still.
Given the age of the car , been an old model , what was the condition like , and was it just that she ran out of gas ? .
