Woman still missing six years after argument with her controlling ex-boyfriend

The family of a young woman who mysteriously disappeared after having an argument with her abusive ex-boyfriend, is desperate for answers six years on.

Typhenie Johnson, 25, has not been seen for almost six years with officers and relatives fearing she was killed.

Haunting details of her final hours have emerged including of a meeting with ex Chris Revill outside her apartment in Fort Worth, Texas.

Typhenie's mum Deb described Revill as controlling while the two were together.

Deb told News Nation Now: "He would tell her what to wear, what was appropriate to be with him, how she should look, don’t wear makeup if you’re out alone.

"I told him if he ever hurt her, I’d kill him. And this is where we ended up."

Typhenie was last seen in October 2016 talking with Revill outside her apartment.

She had been with her twin brother and his girlfriend one evening, when Revill showed up and a conversation between the two outside got heated.

After that she vanished - with some personal belongings including keys, cell phone and sock found in a parking lot.

Police said Revill had driven off from the scene before returning.

He was arrested that night, and in 2019 was convicted of aggravated kidnapping.

Her aunt Janelle Hofeldt said: "He was very jealous of Typhenie. Typhenie and I had conversations about Chris.

"If something didn’t go his way, it was Typhenie’s fault, always Typhenie’s fault."

After dating for six months, Typhenie ended the relationship.

To try and figure out exactly what happened to Typhenie, Sergeant John Phillips said lead detectives were looking at a 90-minute window.

He said: "It was a missing person. It was a probable kidnapping. It was all wrapped up in the relationship they were in.

“Once we started interviewing Chris, yes, we knew (it was him).

"Because of the answers he was giving to the questions, we knew he was being deceptive about specific events and that led us to be very suspicious that something bad had happened to Typhenie."

After being connected to the disappearance of another former girlfriend, 20-year-old Talibaah Islam, who disappeared from Fort Worth in 2006, Revil was sentenced to life behind bars.

Sergeant Phillips said: "I can tell you emotionally, myself and a lot of detectives who have worked on this case imagine them together.

"I mean that’s just they’ve become inextricably linked because of the circumstances of their disappearance."

Police believe Revill killed both women and hid their bodies although no evidence has ever been found.
