Teen Girl Vanishes, Family Fears Dangerous Situation
12 Jan
Summary
- A 17-year-old Hamilton Southeastern High School student is missing.
- She was last seen at home on the night of January 5th.
- Three teenage girls have gone missing in the area since the year began.
A 17-year-old Hamilton Southeastern High School student, Hailey Buzbee, has been missing since the early hours of January 6th, prompting deep concern from her family who fear she is in a dangerous situation. The Fishers Police Department has classified her as a runaway.
Community support has been instrumental in the search, with thousands of flyers distributed and social media amplifying Hailey's story. A GoFundMe campaign for search efforts quickly amassed over $15,000, providing the family with hope and strength. Hailey is described as kind and sweet, with brown eyes and curly brown hair, last seen wearing a white blouse, grey jeans, and a black puffer jacket.
Hailey's disappearance is part of a disturbing pattern, as three teenage girls have been reported missing in Noblesville, Westfield, and Fishers around the same time. While one of these girls, 15-year-old Liz Crane, has been found, law enforcement officials do not believe the cases are connected. Another missing teen, 18-year-old Nevaeh Paige Schmidt, was last heard from when her phone pinged in Washington, Indiana, on January 4th.
