According to her family, Laynee Westbrook, 41, was seen on security video at 7:11 p.m. on September 10, 2020, getting into a white Dodge Ram truck with a man outside of the San Juan Motel in Anacortes, Washington, where she had been staying. She was seen again with the same man at 7:30 p.m. at the Chevron gas station next to the Swinomish Lodge & Casino. She hasn’t been seen since. Laynee’s sister-in-law, Emily Pepper, told Dateline that the man stated he had picked Laynee up and they went to a nearby campground where he had been staying. He reportedly then dropped Laynee off between 2:00 and 3:00 a.m. at Causland Memorial Park, about two blocks from her motel. Emily told Dateline that on September 13, Laynee’s mother, Barb, got a call from the motel. They were trying to reach Laynee because she hadn’t paid rent and no one had seen or heard from her in several days. When the family couldn’t reach Laynee themselves, her mother reported her missing to the Anacortes Police Department. In 2021, Anacortes Police Captain Dave Floyd told Dateline he couldn’t elaborate on some of the details of what happened on September 10, 2020, but confirmed that there has been no activity on Laynee’s cell phone or her bank account since she used her debit card on the day she was last seen. He added that his department had “multiple law enforcement resources within the state'' assisting in the investigation. In November 2022, a detective with the department told Dateline the case was still "very, very active." Laynee is described as being 5’9”, weighing 120 lbs., with brown hair and hazel eyes. She was last seen wearing a black shirt, blue jeans and white sandals. Her dog, Precious, a rat terrier with a nub tail, disappeared at the same time. A $10,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to finding Laynee. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to call Anacortes Police at 360-293-4684 during business hours or the APD tip line at 360-299-1985. The case number is 20-A06084.
 
Hi, my dear friend Laynee Westbrook went missing September 10, 2020 without a trace. We have a timeline of her last day with video surveillance of the man she was with that day. He claims he dropped her off at a park 2 blocks from her home at 3:30 am September 11, 2020 so she could walk her dog the rest of the way to her long term motel room. Laynee has never been seen or heard from again. No bank activity, cell phone use, or ANY communication or sightings since. Laynee had her beloved dog Precious with her at the time of her disappearance and she has never been found either. We NEED any and ALL help we can get. *modsnip*
If you all could help us, we sure would appreciate it. We have a $10,000 reward for information leading to our dear Laynee and still have absolutely nothing concrete to go on. Please help!

"It's so hard because we don't know where she is. We just want to remember her and celebrate her, but 'happy birthday' doesn't feel right," Pepper said.

Laynee Westbrook went missing Sept. 10, 2020. She was living at the San Juan Motel in Anacortes. Laynee and her beloved dog name Precious left the motel with a man she knew. Shortly after that around 7:30 p.m., she was spotted on surveillance footage at the Chevron gas station next to Swinomish Casino. She's never been seen since.

"There's been absolutely no trace of her whether it's bank activity, cell phone activity, and no one has heard from her or seen her," Pepper said.
Her family said the man took her to a nearby campground where campers reportedly heard arguing and threats. In 2022, Anacortes Police told KING 5 that the man was a person of interest and issued a search warrant in connection to Laynee's case. Still no word where Laynee could be.

February 3 marks National Missing Persons Day, an annual day aimed at bringing awareness to the dozens of people who go missing every year — and those who remain missing years later. Washington State Patrol (WSP) issued 215 alerts for missing people in 2023.One of the more than 100 cases of missing people listed on the agency's website is Laynee Westbrook.Westbrook would have celebrated her 45th birthday last Wednesday. Her family hasn't given up hope on finding her.
 
SBM. Has it been made public which campground the man took her to, where the arguing was heard?
*Jan 2021 article:
She was seen again a short time later, at 7:30 p.m., at the Chevron gas station next to the Swinomish Casino with the same man. Her sister-in-law Emily told Dateline that the man stated that he had picked her up and they went to a nearby campground where he had been staying. He reportedly then dropped Laynee off between 2 and 3 a.m. at Causland Memorial Park, which is about two blocks from the motel.

“Campers who were at the campground the night she went missing had called the ranger to report two people arguing over a missing dog,” Emily said. “Something happened that night. She’s missing. Her dog is missing. She never made it back to the motel.”

Causland Memorial Park is where Laynee was dropped off, but I'm wondering about the campground where this man was staying, where other campers said they heard arguing. There are several campgrounds in the area but Causland doesn't have a campground.
 
Laynee's story was shared on the Vanished podcast back in 2022. I'll link it here for anyone who didn't catch it at the time:


@sasha17 the podcast will answer your question, I think - they mention that it was the Thousand Trails campground. According to Google, the address is 16362 Snee Oosh Rd, La Conner, WA 98257 and it looks to be just under 10 miles away from the motel where Laynee was staying.
