hailey dunn2A search continues today for a young Texas girl has been missing for more than a week, and the search to find the teen is intensifying.  Today’s search will continue to focus on an area near the Colorado River.  Hailey Dunn, 13, was last seen before the New Year on Dec. 27.  Authorities say she told her mother’s boyfriend she was going to a friend’s house to spend the night. 

There is specific criteria in each state to issue an Amber Alert and in most cases you need to have a confirmed abduction and in some cases a vehicle and tag description is helpful.  There is not an Amber Alert issued in this case. 

Hailey is a white female, 5’1, 120 pounds, brown hair, and hazel eyes.

If you have any information, please call the Colorado City Police: (325) 728-5294

BRETT SMITH FOUND ALIVE

Great news to report as we launch into the weekend.  Investigators say Brett Smith who has been missing since Monday, was found alive a short time ago.  The Aiken County Sheriff’s office said Brett was walking down the side of the road when he was spotted.  We don’t know where Brett has been for the last five days, or how he got to that part of town, but investigators are working to put the pieces together.  I spoke with Investigator Mack earlier this week from Richland County, and she told me Brett went missing earlier this week when he was riding his bike in the Magnolia Hall neighborhood.  His bicycle was found at a nearby McDonald’s, but there was no trace of the 12-year-old.  An Amber Alert was not issued at the time because it did not meet state requirements, but investigators all along have treated his case with care and importance.  Great work to all who helped find this child.
