Motel owner Mike Naik told WRAL-TV that Little and Corbett were in an off-again, on-again relationship and lived at the motel. Naik says Little left a note confessing to the slaying.

Waymon Gainey manages the nearby Big Mike's Car Wash. He told WTVD-TV he called police after a former employee dropped off a note instructing him to call a phone number and tell the recipient: "that I killed his daughter at the Travel Inn."
