Crawford is described as 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing 170 pounds, with dark brown hair and blue eyes. He is considered endangered due to a medical condition that requires medication, officials added.
In mid-January, deputies said they believed Crawford might be in the Charlotte and Gastonia areas. He may also have been traveling with another person, who investigators say they believe is a 25-year-old white man named Aiden.
Investigators say that while officials have been following leads on Crawford, the leads have dried up. Agents with the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) also assisted officers with the search.
Anyone with information about Crawford’s whereabouts is asked to call 911 immediately. You can also report information anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at (844)-71-CRIME or submitting a tip online.
