The family of Maryland influencer Reyna Dunlap, 30, is searching for answers after she was found dead in an abandoned home on Francis Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. Known as “The Nude Queen” online, Reyna had amassed over 82,000 followers on X and 17,000 on Instagram.
Her body was discovered last Tuesday, and Cleveland police have suggested her death may have resulted from an overdose. However, her family firmly disputes this theory.
Karen Jones, Reyna’s mother, told 19 News: “They suspected that it was an overdose. I said my daughter has never used hard drugs or talked to anybody. I will stake my life that the toxicology is going to come back that she did not have any hard drugs in her system.”
Reyna had traveled to Cleveland three months ago to audition for the reality show Baddies Midwest. Her sister, Kira, has since launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover funeral expenses and hire a private investigator to probe her death. So far, the fundraiser has collected $2,750 toward its $20,000 goal.
In a heartfelt TikTok video, Kira pleaded for information: “I think something really bad happened to my sister, her name is Reyna… I’m just looking for anybody who has been in contact with her or heard from her within the last month. If anybody knows anything, please message me and let me know.”
Adding to the mystery, Karen stated that there was no evidence of drug use on or near Reyna’s body. “She was found in an abandoned home with trash all over the place that was years old. There was drug paraphernalia in the trashed areas but not on her, near her, or in her possession,” Karen explained.
The family’s concerns grew after discovering troubling paperwork among Reyna’s belongings. Kira revealed that Reyna had visited a rape crisis center in Cleveland on November 29. “She had gone to a rape crisis center… someone was hurting her,” Kira said. “Our biggest concern is that someone was holding her against her will. Reyna had concerns and had posted that she had been sex trafficked.”
Karen added: “There’s no indication she took herself to that home. She could have been left there or dropped there. We don’t know if she was alive when she entered.”
The family is working to raise enough funds for a private autopsy and hopes to uncover the truth behind Reyna’s tragic death. A memorial service is planned in her home state of Maryland to honor her life.
