Investigation
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.
Authorities believe Mobley may have ran out of gas on the day she disappeared and stopped at the post office. A search was conducted in and around the area where her vehicle was discovered, but no signs of Crystalyn were found.
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.
Remains of Crystalyn Found
On August 17, 2023, human remains were found by citizens changing a flat tire in the 12000 block of E. Highway 42.
