What was meant to be a casual afternoon meal became the beginning of a chilling mystery.

Laikyn West, 24, left home for a lunch date with a man she had met online. Friends say she expected nothing more than conversation and curiosity. She never returned.

🚗 A Suspect Twice Her Age
The man she met—a 75-year-old used car dealer—initially appeared cooperative when questioned. But as investigators dug deeper, a far darker picture began to form.

📓 A Journal With Disturbing Clues
Inside Laikyn’s private journal, detectives reportedly found entries describing a troubling financial arrangement involving chloroform. The writings hinted at fear, uncertainty, and a situation that may have spiraled beyond her control.

📱 Digital Evidence Emerges
A forensic search of the suspect’s phone uncovered disturbing images allegedly showing Laikyn restrained and in visible distress—taken just hours after she was last seen. Authorities also reported finding “unusual stains” inside the suspect’s vehicle, evidence now undergoing forensic testing.

🔍 A Growing List of Questions
With digital footprints mounting and inconsistencies surfacing, investigators are working to piece together what truly happened during those missing hours. Was the meeting premeditated? Was money the motive? Or was something more sinister unfolding behind the scenes?

💔 A Family Waiting for Answers
For those who love Laikyn, the most urgent question remains painfully simple: Where is she? Each passing day deepens the anguish, turning a missing-person case into a desperate search for truth.

🌫️ From Date to Nightmare
What began as a simple lunch has evolved into a complex criminal investigation layered with unsettling details. Until answers emerge, one reality remains: a young woman vanished after a meeting that should have ended with nothing more than a goodbye—and now a community waits, hoping the mystery does not end in tragedy.
