The (Longview) Daily News writes that nearing the second anniversary of her disappearance, there have been few new developments over the past year in the case of the missing Kayla Croft-Payne.
Croft-Payne was reported missing on May 5, 2010 by a friend who hadn’t seen or heard from her for several days. She was 18 years old and living outside Chehalis.
Last summer, the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office said it had followed tips up into Pierce County, and down into Cowlitz County, saying the last place they could verify she was seen was a trailer park in the Toutle area.
News reporter Natalie St. John reports a volunteer group conducted a search outside Winlock about a month ago that turned out to be dead end.
