VAN BUREN COUNTY, Ark. – It has been one year since a woman disappeared in Van Buren County. Chelsea Woods was last seen in the woods by her home near Clinton.

The last people recorded to have seen her were Van Buren County Sheriff’s Deputies after she called 911 afraid of who was in her home.

Woods is the mother of a 12-year-old son and the daughter of Sherry Lawrence of Nashville Tennessee.

“I love my daughter. I miss her so bad,” Lawrence said in her first on-camera interview since her daughter went missing.

This isn't sounding good at all.

Noting:

• “She said, ‘Momma, I just want to let you know if anything happens to me, I love you.’ And she hung up,” Lawrence stated.
• ... on the morning of August 28, 2022, Chelsea didn’t call her mom. She called 911.
• A police report from the Van Buren County Sheriff’s Office states Chelsea Woods called 911 at 7:03 a.m. that Sunday because of who was inside her home.
• The report said her call “was in reference to a domestic that had already occurred.”
• Deputies found her down the road, she only wanted to speak with a specific officer.
• Because he wasn’t there, she continued to run further into the woods with what deputies say was a “big knife over a foot long”.
• Chelsea’s aunts admit she has bipolar disorder and had abused drugs before, but they think that means she needed more help that day and not less.

Did Chelsea have a phone with her? We know that her purse, drivers license and other personal items were found strewn on nearby property. Did they also find her phone? MOO

The report said her call “was in reference to a domestic that had already occurred.”

IMO it would be helpful to know more about this. Who was involved and what was the previous domestic situation?

Did Chelsea have a phone? We know that her purse, drivers license and other personal items were found strewn on nearby property. Did they also find her phone?

Agreed, this information could provide clues to help fill in our knowledge gaps.

The Van Buren County Sheriff’s Office conducted another search for a missing 39-year-old woman in late December with the help from multiple agencies: Van Buren County Search and Rescue, Cleburne County Search and Rescue, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, Arkansas State Police and the Drug Task Force. Three different locations were covered with a total of 5.02 miles walked.

“This is still an ongoing investigation and no information concerning the case can be disclosed at this time,” Van Buren County Sheriff Eric Koonce said after the recent search. “Investigator Harrison has been in touch with the family. Thank you to everyone that assisted in today’s search.”

 

[Dargon335]

I'm hoping Chelsea can be found. From what we're told this is an ongoing investigation, and LE stated above that they will not release further information at this time. Without additional information, trying to establish what may have happened regarding Chelsea's disappearance will be difficult.

Chelsea’s aunts admit she has bipolar disorder and had abused drugs before, but they think that means she needed more help that day and not less.

Factoring in MH issues, a history of substance abuse, plus the length of time she's been missing, there are a number of possibilities here, but without additional facts from MSM or LE we can't be certain of what actually happened to Chelsea.

Details of Disappearance​

Woods was last seen in Clinton, Arkansas on August 28, 2022. At 7:03 a.m., she called 911, saying she was afraid of who was in her home. The call was in reference to a domestic incident that had already occurred. Witnesses stated after making the call, Woods was "talking all sorts of crazy" and ran out the door into the woods.

When police arrived, they found Woods down the street. She wanted to speak only to a specific officer, and this person was unavailable. The police tried for nearly an hour to convince her to return home, but she ran further into the woods and disappeared. She has never been heard from again.

Three days later, Woods's aunt asked the police to do a welfare check on her, as her aunt had been unable to contact her. When police arrived at Woods's home, the front door was open. There was no sign of her, but her cat was inside. Her driver's license, purse and some other personal belongings were found at a nearby property.

Two days before her disappearance, Woods told her mother over the phone, "I just want to let you know if anything happens to me, I love you." The circumstances of her disappearance are unclear.
