This is beyond troubling. So many questions. Anxiously awaiting more info. Another sad ending, I fear.

I really hope there is some information and updates soon. So very sad.

My mind goes straight to Savannah Spurlock. Praying for a better ending for Paighton.

Thanks for posting this! WS is always on top of everything! Unfortunately, this is yet another case I have personal ties to. This is my Dad’s best friend’s niece.

I live with my Dad & he talks to his BFF on speakerphone 24/7 (so it feels like he’s in the house with us at times). The family is struggling right now & asking everyone for prayers. Such a horrible thing to be going through anytime, but definitely not how anyone imagines spending their Christmas.

ETA: IMO

Oh my gosh, Prayers for Laughton and her family and friends. So hope she's found safe and soon. It's not safe to go anywhere alone anymore

 

[carbuff]

Praying for good news!

Praying for good news before Christmas

Bank account has not been used. Do they mean credit card or ATM use? Either one might be a good thing. Since went with the 2 men willingly, I'm not too concerned.

 

[carbuff]

I wonder how sure they are that she left willingly. There are a lot of ways to coerce a person that don't show on video.

Paighton Houston sent a text message to a friend just after midnight on Friday stating, “idk who im with so if I call please answer. I feel in trouble.”

Whether or not she initially went “willingly” with these two men, I can’t imagine anyone close to her remaining unconcerned after receiving the message quoted above!

MOO

 

[bwt42]

If she had not sent the message, would there still be the concern? She is an adult. Going AWOL for a weekend is not unheard of.

But if she sent the text message shouldn’t there be concern?

So glad this one has shown upon WS. This is all way too close to home for me in AL. There is another 15 yr old girl missing here, too. Prayers for all these families.

She is 29. Not 16. If she had a history of any type of similar behavior, I seriously doubt her loved ones would be freaking out to this extent. Add to it the extremely disturbing text quoted above, and yeah, there is cause for concern. Big time. JMO.

Exactly. And we don’t know if she may have been tipsy which could have caused a lapse in judgment. She may not have initially sensed any danger but quickly realized she was in a bad situation after it was too late to escape it.
