She said Yust called her last Friday, one day after Runions went missing.
"He was like well, 'I just want to go driving around because my birthday is coming up on Wednesday and I'm not gonna see you for a little bit,'" she said.
In light of recent events, the conversation haunts her.
I am so glad she didn't let the media identify her. She is going to be an important witness.

“We have talked to people who have talked to him and they say that when they interrogate him, they feel like they are getting somewhere, they feel like he is on the verge of breaking and giving up what he knows, and then it is like flipping a switch. He flips a switch and he is like shut up, get away from me, I want my lawyer," said Beckford of the previous investigation.
Kylr's background and what people say about him paint a picture of someone with a serious mental illness. Not to where he should get off on an insanity plea, or where it justifies anything, but the fact is he needs long-term rehab in a real facility and frankly I think he is beyond fixing by state-run institutions. It is incredibly sad actually, that a human being is brought into the world in such turmoil, to two people who don't care for him and who are broken themselves. He was already doomed in the first short years of his life IMO.
I think he is unstable, unorganized, and unhinged. He is not clever and probably not very intelligent either. If the above hearsay is even partly true, it seems LE feels they can get him to confess. Kylr has a sense of right and wrong - he is not a psychopath. He may even feel bad after he flips out - all markers of a borderline personality (which is often misdiagnosed as bi-polar, here is a
link). Telling his ex he wasn't going to see her for awhile - he knows what he did and that he is going to have to hide out or will get caught - yet he is sentimental enough to want to hang out with her before taking off.
So I had this ex that was exactly like what we know about Kylr, down to his childish comebacks and neck tattoos. He had the same kind of history - drug addicted parents, abandoned to his grandparents early in life who didn't parent him enough, got into bad **** as a kid himself, his grandmother was a little bit wacky which was probably a strain, he was in and out of jail on fraud, drugs, burglary, finally doing 10 years in federal prison. I had the misfortune of meeting him after he got out, not really knowing any of this history. I finally figured it out after living with him for a few months - he would go from sweet and almost kidlike, playful, stupid etc, to extremely dark mood swings and anger at the most unpredictable moments. He had weird habits and rituals, like collecting scissors and became obsessed with trying to pierce our cat's ear. Being told no was a huge instigator. This is a person who had been sexually abused, like Kylr, locked in rooms by himself as a toddler for days at a time, was fighting a past with heroin and meth, etc. I can easily see how he could have snapped and murdered me or someone else in one of his torrents. The point of this anecdote is the frame of reference allows me to see how Kylr could have lost it, especially intoxicated, then try to cover it up (like a little kid does after doing something naughty) and then feel bad and scared about it afterwards. I feel like this has been seen by others throughout the course of his life which is why he has gotten breaks. At this point though, it is like another poster said, a rabid dog needs to be put down - compassion clearly hasn't provided the kind of therapy he needs to change.
Everyone that reads his story gets a viscerally bad gut feeling for a reason.
I wish I could take a stab at him in that interrogation room.
