They revealed that she was in an argument with her boyfriend at the Microtel Inn & Suites in north Charlotte before her boyfriend drove away without her the next day.
Later that afternoon, a worker at a Crumbl Cookies shop said Payton went inside looking for help.
“She just asked to use my phone and I just handed it to her. She said her boyfriend kicked her out of the car. He was found with some other girl and she needed a ride,” witness, Emily Stewart said.
She said Payton called her mom and returned to the store two other times to use the phone.
