She Was There. Then She Wasn't.
The Night Chalice Angel Noelle Welch Disappeared
She left a birthday party with people she thought she knew. Surveillance footage confirmed she made it to an Airbnb in Dallas. Then the cameras captured something chilling — and Chalice was gone. Her parents haven't stopped searching. Neither have we.
On the night of February 2, 2024, Chalice Angel Noelle Welch kissed her four children goodbye and went to a birthday party. She was 24 years old. She was full of life. She was a mother who had never spent more than a few hours away from her kids. She never came home. Her youngest daughter turned one three days later — without her mother there to hold her.
What happened to Chalice in the hours between that birthday party in Irving, Texas and the moment she vanished from a Dallas Airbnb is not a mystery in the way that word is usually applied to missing persons cases. There is surveillance footage. There are witnesses. There are phone records, a GPS ping, and documented lies that were later disproven by the very evidence those lies were meant to obscure. What is missing is not information. What is missing is accountability — from the men who were with Chalice that night, and from the law enforcement agencies that were supposed to look for her.
This is what we know. This is what the evidence shows. And this is AIDBIPOC's demand that it can no longer be ignored.
The Night It All Started
The birthday party itself was the setup. Whether those who planned it knew that or not may be the central question of this entire case.
On the evening of Friday, February 2, 2024, Chalice clocked out of work at 10:15 PM. Her coworker Jordan drove her home so she could change clothes, then dropped her off at the Embassy Suites hotel at 4650 West Airport Freeway in Irving, Texas. She arrived at the party around 11:00 PM. The event was a birthday countdown celebration for her friend known as Kash, whose real name is Tynisja Clark, an events promoter in the Dallas area who goes by @Kasshouttee on Instagram and runs a crew called 3muchdallas. Confirmed
Chalice had known Kash for at least a year. According to Jason Welch, Chalice's father, Kash also had a prior relationship with Deyon Mason Williams — the father of Chalice's four children — and the two had allegedly been involved with each other behind Chalice's back prior to her disappearance. Reported — Family Source
Note: Brittany, a friend of Chalice's, was off or working dayshift the night of the party and was not present. It was Brittany who, the following night — after Chalice failed to show up for work — helped Deyon report her missing. Confirmed — Family Source
Three Men, One Night
To understand what happened to Chalice Angel Noelle Welch, you have to understand the roles of three men who were with her — or orchestrating events around her — that night. Each of them left a trail. None of them have faced adequate scrutiny from law enforcement.
Reported — Multiple Sources CJ is the man who arranged for Chalice to be picked up by Big S from the birthday party that night — and according to case documents and multiple witness accounts, he is an alleged sex trafficker with a documented record. It was CJ who, after dropping Chalice off, then dispatched his associate "Big S" to pick her up from the party. Friends who knew Chalice confirmed she had been acquainted with CJ for at least a year prior to her disappearance — and that she reportedly liked him. The significance of that trust cannot be overstated: Chalice would have had no reason to question why CJ's friend was arriving to give her a ride.
Surveillance footage later recovered from inside the Airbnb hallway shows a man identified by community investigators as consistent with the description of "Wannabe Street" — the man with striped pants — appearing in the hallway after Chalice was no longer visible on camera. CJ was not confirmed to be at the Airbnb unit, but his role in placing Chalice with Big S — and then the subsequent appearance of a third man — forms the core of what community advocates believe was a coordinated operation. Community Speculation — Unverified
Confirmed — His Own Admission Big S was the last known person to be with Chalice Angel Noelle Welch. He left the Embassy Suites party with her around 1:00 AM on February 3rd, taking her to the Airbnb at 8107 Manderville Lane, Apt. 1519, Dallas TX 75231 — marketed on Airbnb as a "Luxurious Central Victory Park Suite" inside the Luxia Midtown Park complex. He was alone with Chalice in that unit. He later returned to the Embassy Suites party alone, told everyone he didn't know what had happened to her, and said she had disappeared in the parking garage.
His story changed multiple times. Initially he claimed Chalice never entered the Airbnb — that they had separated when she said she was fine in the garage. That statement was proven to be a lie when a tenant's surveillance footage captured both Chalice and Big S inside the Airbnb hallway between 3 and 4 AM. Confirmed — Surveillance Footage
In a Messenger group chat with Chalice's friends, Big S stated: "Me and her were the only people at the bnb." Yet footage reviewed by community investigators reportedly shows a third man appearing in that same hallway after Chalice was no longer present. In a chat with one of Chalice's family connections, Big S also wrote: "...she was right behind me once we got on the main sidewalk where you can see the garage I looked back and did not see her anymore." Friends pushed back immediately: "Not a scream. Not a car. How is she just gone?"
Following Chalice's disappearance, Big S posted an Instagram story playing the song "I'm Innocent" by Blac Youngsta — without posting a single missing person flyer for Chalice. Her friend Nikki Baby immediately screenshotted and shared it, writing: "He didn't even post one missing person flier before posting this." Confirmed — Screenshots Documented
Reported — Community Footage Review According to community investigators who have reviewed the Airbnb hallway footage, approximately an hour after Chalice was last seen, Big S reappears in the hallway — this time with another man. This individual, described as wearing pants with stripes and referred to as "Wannabe Street" in Jason Welch's documented analysis, has not been publicly identified by law enforcement. Chalice is not seen again in any of the footage. Jason Welch wrote in a documented post: "The guy with the pants with strips is Wannabe Street and the one in the grey pants that returns is CJ. The random girl has not been identified yet."
Jason further noted his interpretation: "In my head this means that CJ had her in his grasp and disabled the phone and probably took her to whoever has or had her because he is the one that comes back late and is the only one that could have been a mile away with the phone." Father's Theory — Unverified
A Timeline Full of Questions
Chalice clocks out of work. Her coworker Jordan drives her home to change clothes before dropping her off at Embassy Suites, 4650 W Airport Fwy, Irving TX. She arrives at the birthday party for "Kash" (Tynisja Clark) around 11:00 PM. Chalice is described as highly intoxicated later in the evening. Confirmed
Chalice makes her last confirmed phone call and posts her last Instagram update. Her phone is active and functional at this time. Confirmed
Big S leaves the Embassy Suites party with Chalice. Friends report she appeared heavily intoxicated and was seen being assisted to a rental car. Eyewitnesses state she did not appear able to make sound decisions. Reported — Eyewitnesses
Airbnb hallway surveillance footage, recovered from a tenant's personal camera, shows Chalice and Big S in the hallway. This directly disproves Big S's initial claim that she never entered the building. Confirmed — Surveillance Footage
Chalice's phone pings for the last time near Walnut Hill Lane & North Central Expressway, Dallas, TX — approximately one mile from the Airbnb location. This is the last confirmed GPS signal from her device — occurring after the last surveillance footage at the Airbnb, meaning she or her phone was moved from the Airbnb before going dark. Service providers confirmed the device was deliberately tampered with and rendered inoperable. Confirmed — Carrier, Family Source & Law Enforcement
Chalice's youngest daughter turns one year old. Chalice has never been away from her children for more than a few hours. She misses her baby's first birthday. Confirmed
After Chalice fails to show up for work, her friend Brittany helps Deyon Williams file a missing person report with Irving PD. Confirmed — Family Source
The admin of the Missing, Lost and Trafficked Facebook group posts publicly that "a young man informed me his life is being threatened in the aftermath of Chalice Welch's disappearance." The post is documented in case records. Reported — Public Post
What Police Failed to Do
The Irving Police Department had tools at their disposal. They had eyewitnesses. They had a phone trail. They had a name — Big S — and a location. What they chose to do with that information is a failure that Chalice's family lives with every single day.
Irving PD classified Chalice Welch as a "walk-off" — a determination that she left voluntarily — despite multiple witnesses stating she was being assisted to a car while heavily intoxicated and unable to make sound decisions. Confirmed — Official Classification
Detectives conducted only one round of questioning of potential persons of interest. They did not track Chalice's phone in real time, even though the last ping at 4:36 AM could have narrowed her location to within a mile of the Airbnb. They dismissed eyewitness testimony about Chalice being forced into a rental car, citing later footage of her "appearing fine" — footage that was taken before the timeline of concern, not after.
When AIDBIPOC filed a Texas Public Information Act (TPIA) request with Irving PD in January 2026 (Request #PD-2026-203), we requested records including the initial missing person report, supplemental investigation records, CAD logs, 911 call records, body-worn camera footage, rental vehicle records, phone location data, surveillance footage requests, and all inter-agency communications. The response confirmed records exist — and cited Gov't Code Sec. 552.130 exemptions on vehicle license plate information. Much of the investigation record remains withheld.
Read that again. Irving PD confirmed to a grieving father — not to the public, not in a press release, not in a community alert — that his daughter was seen at that Airbnb. And then said nothing publicly. That information was only surfaced because Jason Welch refused to stop pushing. That is not how a missing persons investigation is supposed to work.
A Father Who Won't Stop
If there is one person who has held this case together by sheer force of love and determination, it is Jason Welch.
Since the first days of Chalice's disappearance, Jason has spoken directly with investigators, combed through social media for leads, connected with advocates and missing persons organizations across the country, reached out to families in similar situations, shared flyers, made public posts, and refused — absolutely refused — to let his daughter become a forgotten name in a database.
He has pieced together the Airbnb footage analysis with his own eyes. He identified vehicles. He cross-referenced phone numbers linked to escort ads to physical addresses in Georgia. He tracked down individuals on social media. He has done, in short, what a detective is supposed to do — and he has done it as a father, with a broken heart, while watching his grandchildren grow up without their mother.
Jason has also shared the weight of what he knows about the father of Chalice's children — a knowledge that comes at a personal cost, given that Deyon Williams lives in the apartment next to him. As Jason has put it: "I know he has people watching me." Reported — Jason Welch
Jason, Chalice's family, and AIDBIPOC see you. We are standing with you until Chalice comes home.
The Father of Her Children
Deyon Mason Williams — who goes by Gasmantana and @santana_therich1 on social media — is the father of all four of Chalice's children and was her ex-boyfriend at the time of her disappearance. According to Jason Welch, Deyon Williams is connected to organized criminal networks through the underground rap and entertainment industry — networks that, per Jason's direct accounts to AIDBIPOC, have ties to human trafficking, drug trafficking, and violent offenses. Reported — Family Source
What Jason Welch has shared goes further. He states that Deyon threatened to kill Chalice on FaceTime — in front of Jason's own father — before her disappearance. He states that Deyon was present at Chalice's workplace the Monday morning immediately after she disappeared, attempting to retrieve her tax information. And he states that Deyon has never helped search for her. Reported — Jason Welch
Deyon Williams recorded a song called "Letter to Angel" — Angel being Chalice's middle name — that, per Jason and community advocates, contains vulgar and threatening language about her, including references to her death. The song is publicly available online. Verified — Publicly Available
Community researchers have also documented that for at least one year before Chalice's disappearance, there was a coordinated effort to pressure her to relocate to the Dallas metro area. This pressure coincides with the dates that escort site listings using her likeness were first posted. The connection between the relocation push and the pre-disappearance trafficking advertisements is something investigators have not publicly addressed. Community Speculation — Requires Investigation
The Ads, the Network, and What They Tell Us
Before Chalice disappeared, images resembling her had already appeared on escort platforms associated with sex trafficking. After she disappeared, they continued. This is not a coincidence. This is a pattern.
Multiple well-known online platforms associated with trafficking posted escort ads featuring images that bear a strong resemblance to Chalice. The phone numbers associated with some of these ads have been traced by family researchers to Mikhail Ironobich Ushakov, associated with an address in Roswell, Georgia. Reported — Family Research / Jason Welch This information has been passed to investigators. Whether it has been acted upon is unknown.
The theory advanced by community advocates and researchers — including AIDBIPOC — is that Chalice was being targeted long before that birthday party. That acquaintances connected to the underground entertainment scene were gathering information about her, interacting with people close to her, and coordinating her exposure to individuals connected to trafficking networks. The birthday party at Embassy Suites may have been the final stage of a pre-planned recruitment trap, not a random social gathering. Community Analysis — Not Confirmed by LE
Chalice has a tattoo of a rose on her left shoulder with the name "Santana" — Deyon's nickname. She is 5'7", 140 lbs, with brown hair and hazel eyes. If you have seen her, or someone matching her description, you must report it immediately.
The Jurisdictional Problem
Here is where this case becomes a systemic failure, not just an investigative one.
Chalice's missing persons report was filed with the Irving Police Department, where the birthday party took place. But the last confirmed sighting — the Airbnb — is in Dallas. Her phone's last GPS ping at 4:36 AM was in Dallas. The men who took her were headed into Dallas. The evidence trail leads clearly out of Irving and across the city line.
Yet Dallas PD has not stepped up with the kind of aggressive, coordinated response this case demands. AIDBIPOC has formally requested that a CLEAR Alert be issued for Chalice and that Dallas PD intervene and take an active role in this investigation. A Texas CLEAR Alert — Coordinated Law Enforcement Adult Rescue — is specifically designed for adults who may be abducted or in immediate danger. Chalice qualifies under every criterion.
Texas Equusearch, when contacted by Jason Welch's family, declined the case — stating that they only work Texas cases and that because this appears to involve sex trafficking, Chalice may already be out of state. Confirmed — Jason Welch via Facebook That assessment should have been a trigger for FBI intervention. It should not have been a reason to walk away.
AIDBIPOC formally calls on the FBI's Dallas Field Office to open a federal investigation. Human trafficking across state lines is a federal crime. The evidence of pre-planned targeting, coordinated removal, and phone tampering meets the threshold for federal involvement.
🔊 AIDBIPOC's Demands — This Case Cannot Wait
- Irving PD must release all investigative records responsive to TPIA Request #PD-2026-203 without further delay or exemption where legally permissible.
- Dallas PD must open a formal missing persons case for Chalice Angel Noelle Welch and issue a CLEAR Alert immediately.
- All three men present at or connected to the Airbnb on the night of February 2–3, 2024 must face formal, thorough, and documented re-questioning under oath.
- Airbnb surveillance footage from the full night of February 2–3 must be secured, reviewed, and made part of the official record before any further degradation occurs.
- The FBI must open a federal human trafficking investigation. The evidence of coordinated targeting, cross-city transportation, and phone tampering demands it.
- The phone number connections to out-of-state escort platforms must be formally investigated as part of a trafficking network inquiry, not treated as tangential.
