Columbus Woman ‘Chicxxaa Woods’ Found Alive After Faking Her Own Death, Sparking Days of Viral Confusion

COLUMBUS, OHIO — A bizarre social media saga unfolded this week after a Columbus woman named China “Chicxxaa” Woods was found alive following three days of viral rumors claiming she had been killed. The incident, which spread rapidly across Facebook and TikTok, triggered an outpouring of concern, police involvement, and false accusations before the truth came to light.

Missing Person Report Turns Into Viral Hoax

On November 30, a woman identifying herself as Woods’ “foster sister,” known online as Red Red, posted on Facebook that Woods was missing and that a police report had been filed. Her message urged the public to help locate Woods, providing a physical description and confirming she was last seen in Columbus, Ohio.

The post quickly gained traction as friends and followers shared it across social media, with many expressing fears that something tragic had happened. But within hours, cryptic messages began appearing on Woods’ own Facebook account.

One alarming post read:

“She’s dead. Been dead 3 days now.”

Then, another message appeared from her boyfriend’s account, reading:

“She’s gone now.”

The combination of these posts led to mass speculation and online panic, with users alleging Woods’ boyfriend, Frank Matthews (real name Raquan Loatman), was involved in her supposed death.

Viral Rumors and Conspiracy Theories

As rumors spread, social media filled with theories — including claims of homicide and cover-up. Some even circulated a disturbing video allegedly showing a dead woman with a phone in her hand, which many falsely identified as Woods.

Meanwhile, Matthews himself went online to deny involvement, claiming he had no knowledge of Woods’ disappearance and that he was out of state in New Jersey at the time.

Despite his statements, tension continued to rise until the story took an unexpected turn.

Woods Found Alive — and Confronted Live on Video

On Monday, Red Red reportedly went live on Facebook after tracking Woods down in real time, confronting her as she walked out of what appeared to be a crack house in Columbus.

In the viral live video, Red Red accused Woods of faking her death for attention, and at one point, physically attacked her while on camera. She also called the police, demanding Woods be arrested for filing a false report — though it remains unclear whether any formal charges were filed.

“This entire story is a hot mess,” one viewer commented during the broadcast. “People were crying and panicking for three days.”

Woods Responds: “I Was Never Missing”

Following the confrontation, Woods addressed the controversy herself. Speaking in a later post, she denied ever being missing, claiming she had left her boyfriend voluntarily and was unable to access her Facebook account after he allegedly took her phone.

“I was never missing,” Woods said. “I left Raquan — I left Hollywood. He stole my phone, and there was no way I could log back into Facebook. I was never missing.”

She also distanced herself from Red Red, saying that the woman is not her sister and that they only knew each other “when she was selling booty.”

Online Outrage and Police Involvement

The entire situation has sparked outrage from community members, many of whom criticized Woods for wasting public resources and playing with people’s emotions.

Advocates for missing persons say such hoaxes make it harder for authorities and the public to take real disappearances seriously — especially in communities already struggling for media attention when Black and brown women go missing.

Local authorities have not yet confirmed whether Woods will face any legal consequences for allegedly staging her disappearance.

The Columbus Police Department is still reviewing the case.
