Haye's family says the day Betty disappeared is one they still remember but one detail was concerning for Betty's son, Mike Hayes.

"I received a phone call that she couldn’t be found I would say I was panicked," Mozingo said last year.


"When I pulled the storm door back completely, I noticed that the inside door of the house was completely kicked in and the door jam was broken on the house," said Mike Hayes, Betty's son.


Although authorities did not find a connection to Hayes's disappearance, according to court documents, John Conde and Joshua Mcnabb were arrested in March for burglarizing betty Hayes's home in 2021 between May 1. and June 30.


Conde reportedly told investigators McNabb would take Hayes out to dinner so Conde would have time to steal from her home.


Conde and McNabb were charged with first-degree burglary, six counts of unlawful possession of a firearm, and felony stealing

The Monroe County Sheriff's office still needs the community's help in finding Betty Hayes.

Betty Hayes is described to be 5'2, weighs 86 pounds, has grey hair and blue eyes, and was last seen wearing a dark coat and dark stocking hat.

The family has now decided to also raise the reward from $10,000 to $30,000 for anyone that knows where Betty L. Hayes is at. For now, the search will continue for the Hayes family and Mike asks if anyone knows where his mother he'd like to share this message.
"If anybody has any information on where mom is or information about a suspect that's put mom in this position where she is we would greatly appreciate them coming forward with that information... we would greatly appreciate it."

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office asks that if anyone has any information about Betty Hayes to contact the Monroe Sheriff’s Office at 660-327-4060 or the Missouri State Highway Patrol at 1-800-525-5555.

Hayes burglary trials more than a year away?

PARIS – After two inconsequential hearings last week, Monroe County Prosecuting Attorney Nicole Volkert estimates the two men facing a combined 25-plus felonies in the Betty Hayes burglary …

moberlymonitor.com

After two inconsequential hearings last week, Monroe County Prosecuting Attorney Nicole Volkert estimates the two men facing a combined 25-plus felonies in the Betty Hayes burglary cases may not see trials for another year or more.

Hearings for John Conde, in Paris, and Joshua McNabb, in Warrenton, the two men charged with systemically burglarizing and stealing from Hayes’ home and property for two months in 2021, were held electronically Thursday, with no movement in either.

New hearings, which the prosecutor imagines will also be insignificant, are scheduled for March.

Volkert said neither man appeared physically last Thursday. Conde is being held in Macon County on a $100,000 bond while McNabb is in Randolph County and denied bail.

Hayes burglary trials could be delayed by more than one year

PARIS, Mo. — After two inconsequential hearings last week, Monroe County Prosecuting Attorney Nicole Volkert estimated the two men facing a combined 25-plus felonies in the Betty Hayes burglary cases

www.hannibal.net

Authorities allege that between May 1 and June 30, 2021, Conde and McNabb conspired to steal six weapons, jewelry, an arrowhead collection and a pull trailer from Hayes’ property on Route C, south of Holliday.

In an October 2021 probable cause statement, Conde alleged McNabb became, “obsessed with the thought of owning some of Hayes’ land... (and) when McNabb realized he was not going to be able to buy any of Hayes’ property, he (McNabb) decided to start stealing”. Conde told the Missouri State Highway Patrol McNabb would lure Hayes from her rural home and he would steal the items.

I came here hoping to learn they had found something that may lead to her coming home . I'm from Missouri and have followed her case. It's heart breaking . She was a little old lady ,what kind of monsters are these men. If they are indeed involved that is. I'm curious as to if the family believes it was the two men in custody. Maybe trial delay is on purpose for one reason or another.

Wow. I'm really curious who this witness is. MOO

From the article:

The suspect had heard about a search for Hayes' remains in Paris, Missouri, and announced to the witness that the body would not be found there. Instead, he declared the remains would be found instead on a plot of land he owned.

Law enforcement officials confirmed ownership of the property, conducted a search and found remains consistent with those of the victim.
