CHARLOTTE, NC — A shocking discovery. The body of Ta’haley Payton was found in Pearl Street Park, located in a busy area of Midtown Charlotte. A Crumbl employee asked we hide her identity. She tells WCCB Payton came into the midtown store the night it’s believed she went missing. “She was sweating. She was like, kind of nervous and stuff, and her phone was dead,” said the employee. She said Payton told employees she got into an argument with her boyfriend. Another employee let the 22-year-old from Greenville County, SC borrow her phone. The employee WCCB interviewed, believes Payton called her parents to pick her up. “She would go to the mall. She would come back, and then she would go somewhere else and then come back, and then she’d go somewhere else and then come back. I think she left about 3 or 4 times,” the employee said of Payton coming in and out of the store. That employee thought Payton eventually got a ride, but when she left work, she says she saw Payton sitting on this grass at this bank just down the street. November 20th was the last time police say Payton was ever seen. Until Monday, when her body was found a half a mile from where police say she was last seen. CMPD hasn’t released many details about this case other than they are treating this as a death investigation. A GoFundMe was created to help the family with funeral expenses.
