Lott was reported missing by her family in January, 2021, after she was last seen during a video call with a friend.

She was “sore” and appeared bruised during the call, her mother told WGRZ.

A friend had asked Lott where she was so they could send an Uber, but the call suddenly ended.

Minutes later, Lott reportedly sent a text message that read: “if anything happens to me, that I love y’all and tell everybody.”

She was never heard from again, and her body was found on February 13.

Whigham had previously been identified as a person of interest in the case.

Police say he used his hands yo strangle Lott inside a Buffalo apartment, before dumping her body on railroad tracks.

He’s being held without bail and faces a maximum sentence of 25 years if convicted of second-degree murder, as reported by WKBW.

Lott’s family had been searching for her, and had said the last person to see her was Whigman.

They had located her belongings in the home where she was living.

“We found her clothes in the house, her boots.

“We went back to the house four days later, and we found my baby’s coat with her IDs in it,” her mother said.

Lott’s family had gathered to remember her back in January, on the one-year anniversary of her disappearance.
