The 38-year-old Texas model disappeared sometime between 5:30 a.m. and 7 a.m., according to a Facebook update on the official Facebook page of the Irving Police.
At about 7:40 a.m. on the said day, Lashun’s husband, Jeff Massey, reported her missing when she failed to return from the morning stroll.
Witnesses reported seeing Lashun strolling by the lake at about 5:30 a.m. Some of the accounts spoke of a woman fitting the description walking in and out of the Lake around that time.
Many tried to find out if the woman was okay, receiving positive responses from her. Robert Keeker of the Irving Fire Department disclosed that an eyewitness saw the woman leaving the lake.
However, hours later, another source reported seeing her in the lake again. Lashun’s husband remains convinced his wife was not in the lake, as she was always cautious around water.
He is hopeful she would return home safely, as she knew just how much he loved and cherished her. Lashun is a mother to two children, whom she shares with her husband, Jeff Massey.

Going missing two days to the competition cut short those dreams. In addition to her beauty contests, Lashun holds a Ph.D. in civil engineering. She also works as a program manager for research at the University of Texas, Dallas.
