She was wearing a black hoodie and checkered pajama pants.
According to her husband, a morning walk was part of Massey’s routine as she prepared to compete in the pageant.
“So at about 7.15, I got a little nervous and I texted her,” Jeff told CBS11.
“I gave her a call and she didn’t answer so at the time I found our security guard down here and said that they had seen her or somebody over in the canal.”
Where did authorities find a body?

What did neighbors say about Massey’s disappearance?
Neighbor told CBS 11 that it’s unlike the pageant queen to suddenly vanish.
“I mean, my fear is that something bad happened to her. I don’t think there was just some sort of accident that happened,” Massey’s neighbor Elizabeth Rychlinski told the outlet.
“It’s scary and there’s been talk about something happening may be in the water and we all walk around this often.”
CBS11 reported Massey’s family arrived from Arkansas and joined the search.

“I don’t believe she’s in the water,” her father, Frank King said. “I just don’t believe it.”
They said she has too much going for her to ever walk away and not come back.
“Lashun was always the one who stood out and the smartest,” her brother, Frank King Jr. said.
