I wonder what happened to her friends who went to the bar with her? They just let her leave? That's what friends are for when you go out - to stop you from leaving with men you don't know.

Would be nice if cops would release pics of the guys. I assume they've gotten the data from her cell phone. Hopefully she had trackers like google maps on it.

The Chilling Last Text This Alabama Woman Sent Before Disappearing Over a Week Ago
Quote:
She later sent a troubling text from her phone. "I don't know who I'm with, so if I call, please answer. I feel in trouble," she wrote to a friend.

Paighton had gone for drinks with a few friends to see live music at a bar called the Tin Roof, police said. She left about 10:45 p.m., accompanied by two heavy-set African-American men, authorities said.

She appeared to leave willingly, police said. Investigators are reviewing surveillance video from the club, but have not publicly released it. Paighton sent the worrying text a little after midnight, officers said.

I do wonder why she would leave with 2 guys that were bigger then her.

A tiny bit of new information.

This article is written in the form of rough notes taken at a vigil for Paighton. Includes the information that video surveillance from the bar has not been helpful, and the two men her friends say she left the bar with have not been identified. (Is it possible they don't believe the friend's statements?)

I don't think the size of the men she left with is the problem here. Not sure why some are focusing on that.

On the other hand, I'm a little surprised a 29 year old would leave a bar with two big men she didn't know. And her friends would look the other way.

That's the stuff 21 year olds do. Or in the past, 18 year olds did when drinking was legal for them.
Unless, her drinks were tampered with and she was drugged...?

Wonder if the police could trace the location when the message was sent?
Unless she texted from a moving car?
Looks really bad- she could be trafficked to another state, locked up, drugged and sold for sex?

The more I think about this, the more suspect this story seems.

Leaving with "two large black men" sounds awfully similar to the bushy haired stranger.

Who were these friends? Men, or long term trusted women?

Interesting that the bar video was "unhelpful".

It's been 10 days now. That's a long time not to hear from her.



This is weird:



"She was seen leaving with two men. A friend says she saw them from across the bar and she cannot identify the men."


Was she at a bar sitting alone? Dd she know her friend was there? We need more info from the friend.

That's what I said that hopefully LE have gotten all the data off of her phone; and her social media.

Agree. I wonder if them leaving together was even on the video and if there were even 2 big African American men or just her "friends". We've seen that before where friends get in fights, one of the friends is then missing.

I don't hold out much hope that she's still alive.

A little change in the story. Her mom says she'd "driven to the bar earlier that day with a coworker", and it was the "coworker" who received the distress text.

So.

Is the coworker male or female?

Does anyone recall seeing her in the bar that day?

The coworker probably murdered her.
