Disappearance of Crystal Ann Tymich (California)
The FBI released age-progressed photos of Crystal Ann Tymich on April 13, 2026, 32 years after she disappeared from South Los Angeles on June 30, 1994. As of April 13, 2026, a $10,000 reward is active for information leading to her whereabouts, and her case remains open and unsolved. The California Department of Justice provided an age-progressed photo in January 2026, showing what she might look like at 23 years old, while a newer image depicts her at 29. Her family, who still lives in the same Los Angeles home, believes she was taken, and law enforcement has ruled out family members as suspects, believing an unknown individual is responsible. In 2005, the FBI and Los Angeles County Police re-opened the case and investigated a tip about a suspicious burial, finding only animal and fish bones.
