Crystal Beal was 28 the last time she was seen, Aug. 9, 2018.

Caddo Deputies tell 3 Investigates they've hit multiple "dead ends."
“All I want to know is what's happened to my daughter,” Beal said.
Beal describes her daughter as an outgoing person, and the “life of the party.” She does not shy away from talking about Crystal’s past.
“She has some addiction issues. She got on meth, and she’s not the same Crystal that she was a child. I lost her somewhere along the way,” Beal said. “No, she’s not a saint. And quite frankly when we do find her, she’s going to do jail time. But I’d much rather know she’s in jail than being abused or trafficked.”
According to the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office, which is investigating Crystal Beal’s disappearance, she was arrested in Arkansas and transported as an inmate to the Caddo Correctional Center on Aug. 6. She was being held on charges of resisting an officer and illegal possession of stolen things. Capt. Bobby Herring said Beal’s friend posted her bail that night.
Herring would not disclose the friend’s name, out of concern that it would compromise the ongoing investigation.
“We followed several leads along with that bonding out. We know who she left with, and the next day we know where she went – generalized in Shreveport – somewhere in the Highland area,” Herring said.
“From there, we can’t find a single witness or a single person that has seen her since.”
On Aug. 8, a post appeared from Beal’s Facebook account.
“I just don’t understand how all these people keep just poof and dieing [sic] in Shreveport (known and loved by plenty of all kinds of people). No they might not be straight A's guy with some of the easyy [sic] street chilldhood [sic] as u [sic] ... BUT I PROMISE THEY are some of the best guys I’ve even met. I’m so lost on how to feel ... u [sic] can never win in Caddo,” the post read.
No other posts have been made from that account since.
