 [MAIL] The teen who was found murdered after she allegedly robbed an Alabama hotel with her boyfriend told a friend she was scared of him and wanted to come home after he assaulted her.
Baylee Wall, 18, was found dead in Cincinatti, Ohio, on October 23 after two days on the run from police who claimed she helped her 25-year-old boyfriend Gary Eubanks Jr rob the Microtel Inn in Daphne, Alabama, on October 21.
Authorities are still searching for Eubanks Jr, who is reportedly being treated as a person of interest in Baylee's murder.
The slain teen's stepfather, Steven Tillman, told Fox Cincinnati that she and Eubanks Jr began dating in August 2019 and that she had recently sent a photo to her friend showing her with a busted lip.
Tillman said that his stepdaughter told the friend she was 'scared [and] wanting to come home'.
He expressed shock over the idea that Baylee, who lived in Hurley, Mississippi and was the mother of a two-year-old girl, would be involved with someone violent and that she would participate in an armed robbery.
'I still can't believe it. I really can't on either issue,' Tillman said. 'That's not how she was raised. That's not how she was.'
He added: 'She was a very outgoing person. Loved to laugh and you know, just your typical 18-year-old girl.'
