Bird’s preliminary hearing began last week, at which time Crazybull was supposed to return to court to testify.

“She did not return to finish her testimony,” said police in a news release. “Her testimony is critical to the trial, however, due to a publication ban details of her role cannot be released.”

Police said they haven’t found any evidence that she is in danger or has been harmed, and the court has since issued a warrant for her arrest.

Crazybull is described as being in her early 20s, 5’6” tall with brown eyes and either brown or dyed blond hair. She also has piercings on both cheeks.
