In a revelation that has left investigators stunned, the best friend of missing woman Kayla Scott has come forward, revealing she received a chilling text message from Kayla just hours before her disappearance.
The message, sent at 11:42 p.m., read:
“If anything happens, it’s not him.”
According to police sources, the short, cryptic message has shifted the direction of the investigation — raising more questions than answers about who “him” really is.
“It’s not what she said — it’s what she didn’t say,” an investigator told reporters. “The text implies she trusted one person completely, but feared someone else even closer.”
Authorities are now examining call logs and encrypted messages from the same time frame. Digital forensics teams have also confirmed the text was sent manually, ruling out an automated or scheduled message.
Kayla’s friend described the moment she saw the message as “the last time her phone showed as active.”
“I thought it was just one of those random things,” she told reporters, “but now I can’t stop thinking about who she was trying to protect.”
Police have not disclosed the identity of the person mentioned in the text, but investigators hint that it may not be the man originally suspected.
“There’s a deeper connection,” one source said. “Someone who wasn’t even on our radar before — until now.”
As the search continues, the haunting message remains the most vital clue in unraveling what really happened that night.
