Faith Lindsey
Faith Lindsey hasn’t been seen since October 28, 2019, at her Pauls Valley, Oklahoma home where the then 17-year-old lived with her boyfriend, 24-year-old Tanner Washington. Her sister, Justice Lindsey, told Dateline in 2019 that she received texts from Faith’s boyfriend stating that he couldn’t find her. A short time later, she received text messages from Faith’s phone she said were misspelled and did not make any sense. Faith was reported missing by family members on November 4, 2019. In December 2019, the Del City Police arrested Tanner Washington on a first-degree murder charge in connection with Faith’s disappearance. According to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI), the state charges were dismissed due to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in McGirt v. Oklahoma which says that Oklahoma authorities cannot arrest or prosecute anyone involved in a crime on reservation land, and tribal authorities cannot arrest or prosecute crimes committed by non-tribal members. However, a federal indictment for murder was returned for Washington after the federal grand jury in Muskogee completed its May 2021 session. According to Oklahoma’s News 4, Tanner Washington pleaded guilty to second-degree murder on October 31, 2022. They reported that court records revealed blood samples “discovered on the carpet of the back seat and on a set of sunglasses” in Washington’s old car were found to be “a biological match” to Faith. The investigation is still open and ongoing as the OSBI works to locate Faith’s body. They are offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to her location. If you know something that might help find Faith, or if you saw something unusual or suspicious around the time she vanished, please contact the OSBI at (800) 522-8017 or tips@osbi.ok.gov.

Tanner Dean Washington, 29, Stratford, admitted killer of 17-year-old Faith Lindsey, is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 29 for her murder.
[...]
Washington’s sentencing is scheduled for 10 a.m. in Courtroom 1, Room 230, of the U.S. Courthouse in Muskogee.
Washington pleaded guilty in August 2022 to “second-degree murder in Indian Country,” and admitted to killing Lindsey in 2012, his then girlfriend.
Washington admitted that “On or about October 27, 2019, I did unlawfully kill Faith Lindsey with malice aforethought,” Washington said in a court record.
Although his admission was part of a plea agreement, there is no agreement between the federal government and Washington as far as sentencing, meaning he could face any number of years up to life in prison.
