Jeff, along with wife Ashley (Baird) Crawford and her cousin Tonda Nelson, went missing at the same time though the bodies of Ashley and Tonda were later found in July. Still, there’s been no sign of Jeff.

family also firmly believe Jeff had nothing to do with the murders of Ashley and Tonda, despite having been named a person of interest in the case.

the family is attempting to bring in Texas Equusearch Sgt. EB Starcher of the Mason County Detachment of the W.Va. State Police said he has also talked with Equusearch

On paper, officially Jeff remains a missing person as well as a person of interest, not an official suspect, in the murders of Ashley and Tonda.

Very interesting case. Where is Jeff Crawford? Is he also a victim or was he involved in the deaths of Ashley & Tonda?
 
Where is Jeff Crawford?
Family of missing man continues search

“Someone has to know something,” said Shela Crawford, mother of Jeff Crawford who has been missing since June 16.

[snip]

Speaking to the Point Pleasant Register this weekend, Jeff’s mother Shela Crawford of Gallipolis Ferry said no one in the family has heard from her son, and there’s been no bank activity or cell phone activity since he went missing in June. Shela said she’s accepted the grim reality that her son is likely dead. She and her family also firmly believe Jeff had nothing to do with the murders of Ashley and Tonda, despite having been named a person of interest in the case.

POINT PLEASANT &#8212; &#8220;Someone has to know something,&#8221; said Shela Crawford, mother of Jeff Crawford who has been missing since June 16.

Jeff, along with wife Ashley (Baird) Crawford and her cousin Tonda Nelson, went missing at the same time though the bodies of Ashley and Tonda were later found in July. Still, there&#8217;s been no sign of Jeff.

&#8220;We can&#8217;t do this alone&#8230;we need the community&#8217;s help,&#8221; Shela said.

Sheila said the family is attempting to bring in Texas Equusearch Mounted Search and Recovery Team to assist in the search. Sgt. EB Starcher of the Mason County Detachment of the W.Va. State Police said he has also talked with Equusearch which worked on the high-profile Caylee Anthony case.

I am thinking of Jeffrey Crawford and how he has not been found as of yet. I feel for his loved ones and hope he is found soon.
 
The family of a missing Mason County man is hoping a reward, and upcoming benefit to raise money for that reward, will help bring him home.

but a witness who came forward, claiming to have been present when Crawford allegedly killed the two women.

No other information was given about the witness other than they came forward on July 28, a day after the bodies of the two women were identified after being found buried in Gallipolis Ferry.

I think the witness to the murders must have had info that only the murderer or someone who was there would have in order to be credible enough to the state police to issue the warrants.
 
Mason County: A year in review

[snip]

July began with the mystery of three residents who had vanished in June &#8211; Tonda Nelson, Ashley (Baird) Crawford and her husband Jeff Crawford. This trio, and their separate fates, would begin to unfold over the summer and into the fall, making it one of the most talked about stories of 2011.

Sorry for bumping, but was a new thread made for Jeff Crawford, who is still missing? I couldn't find it.

TIA
 
interesting case....I am going to read up on it, I don't recall this one.
 
Just a few weeks later, after extensive searching, the bodies of Ashley Crawford and Tonda Nelson were found in a shallow grave off Duncan Creek Road.

Investigators said they died from blows to the head.

"I don't think it's any closer to being solved, three years later than it was two weeks after it happened," said Kim Roach.

West Virginia State Police said an eyewitness put Jeff Crawford at the scene taking part in the crime -- not as a victim.
