Family, friends join search for missing Anacortes woman

Laynee Westbrook has been out of contact with family and friends since late Sept. 10. She is described as 5 feet 9 inches, 120 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. Also missing is her dog, Precious, a rat terrier. The two were inseparable, family and friends said.

Westbrook’s mother called police on Sept. 13 and asked that they check on Westbrook’s welfare. The mother “hadn’t heard from her for a few days, and she hadn’t been to the residence she was maintaining since Sept. 10,” Floyd said. “She felt it out of the ordinary for her.”

Floyd said family members and friends say they have had no cell phone contact with Westbrook since Sept. 10.

Westbrook is seen on video surveillance film leaving the San Juan Motel, where she was living, with a friend about 7:15 p.m. on Sept. 10. The pair were seen shortly thereafter on video surveillance film at the Swinomish Chevron gas station and mini-mart, next to the Swinomish Lodge and Casino, buying some groceries. The friend told police he dropped Westbrook off between 2 and 3 a.m. Sept. 11..

Police consider the Chevron surveillance film footage to be the last confirmed sighting of Westbrook.

Zoom in on that "friend" she was living with in the motel. Also, why did he drop her off btw 2-3 am if they lived in the motel together?

Her FB--adorable pics of her with her rat terrier and what may be her kids (??) Also, a man named "Mike" is mentioned--wonder if this is who she was living with?

Do we know from elsewhere that she was living with him? I read the notice as saying she was seen leaving with him not living with him.

From her other posts/comments it appears that she does not have children. The OP states that she was living in the motel, not the friend she was seen leaving with. Mike is a different guy.

New article with not much news, other than that search parties have been organized by her friend and a relative, who are also working with police: Family desperately searches for Anacortes woman missing since early September | king5.com

Okay so she was seen on surveillance video leaving the motel, then again at the gas station, but NOT seen on surveillance video returning to the motel. But the friend said he dropped her off between 2-3am. Hmmmm. Obviously look at the friend. Hoping for the best, but it’s not good.

 

[swanniee11]

How can this friend say he dropped her off between 2-3am with no surveillance video to prove it when there was video of her leaving? Hinky meter. IMO

Exactly. It says everything to me that he says he dropped her off at the hotel, but LE says they consider the gas station footage the last sighting of her.

I read that differently in the article. I believe it meant that she was seen leaving the motel she was living in that a friend was with her in the video footage. Not that the friend was living with her at the motel. Wording is confusing in the article.

However, I do agree they need to zoom in on apparent friend. Did the video footage show her enter her motel room when he says he dropped her off. Did he enter with her or is there no footage of their return?

 

[Dnp2be]

Whoops, I see that the video footage has already been addressed.

I think it was said that she has not been seen on the motel cameras again after leaving. Perhaps the friend didn't say that he dropped her off at the motel but rather nearby.

Reportedly there has been no phone activity since 4:30pm, but she was later seen at a gas station at 7:30pm. Did she switch off her phone and why?

I had not considered that, because her phone would travel with her if it was on and it would at least ping near the gas station at 7:30. Possibly it died? Phones are able to do so much tracking today, it’s hard to say. My phone will send a signal to the last known location if the battery is low. It’s crazy. I guess I don’t understand why he would take her grocery shopping if he was planning on doing something nefarious. Maybe he was buying himself groceries? Could something have happened by accident and fear resulted in a cover up? I hope they get a break soon. Sounds like she has a lot of ppl that care about her.
