In November, Elisa Crawford told DC News Now, “It’s the hardest thing I think I’ve ever had to deal with in my life.” “That’s my friend, too, not just my daughter.”
Police concluded that there was something odd about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.
According to MPD, a bench warrant for the arrest of Lashawn Washington, 32, of Southeast, has been issued by the D.C. Superior Court after she was indicted on multiple crimes.
