Robinson said the couple had come from Indiana and were staying in a rental cabin off Arlington Avenue, in a place called Twin Oaks Lodge, when Wayt disappeared.

Wayt was last seen in a 2009 Nissan Rogue with Indiana license plates, according to Robinson. He is described as a man, 6'1, 205 pounds, bald with brown eyes.

“On Sunday, they had some kind of disagreement. He left. And when he left, he took his wallet and his keys and that's the last time he was seen,” Robinson said. “One thing I find unusual is he just grabbed his wallet and his keys. He left his other personal items there. He left his cell phone there.”

Portwood and Wayt had originally planned to leave Monday evening. Now that Wayt is missing, Portwood remains in the area until he is found.

“The family hasn't heard from her… She's talked to her parents, her siblings, her fiancée…” Robinson said. “None of his friends have heard from him. We're just trying to locate him and make sure he's safe.”

Everyone hopes for a good result.

Anyone with information on Wayt's whereabouts is asked to call 828-488-3050 or 828-488-2196 and ask for Chief Robinson or Deputy Chief Dover.
