Watts-Richardson told NBC10 on Jan. 3 said she was with Brown and took her 8-year-old son to his house for a sleepover that night.
“I put Noah on the bus the next day,” Watts-Richardson said.
Watts-Richardson told NBC10 Brown never called to speak to her or her son that night.
Brown had planned to pick up her son from the bus stop the next afternoon on January 4, but he did not show up.

Watts-Richardson said she didn’t know what happened to Brown from Jan. 3 to the morning of Jan. 4.
“I had nothing to do with anything,” Watts-Richardson said. “Because I was the last person to see her, it doesn’t mean anything.”
Watts-Richardson told NBC10 that she and Brown were planning to open a new restaurant together.
“I look like I’ve been stabbed,” Watts-Richardson said. “It was frustrating because I was the first person to call the police, trying to kick in the windows. Trying to find my friend. Trying to make sure her son was covered.
