My first (gut) feeling was that Hailey didn't make it to dad's or her friends, maybe not even out of her own house. However, the more I learn the more little odd things pop up in several areas (imo). Now, I am curious about dad and step-mom and would like to hear more details regarding them. What do we know? I found it just a little odd that on the video posted below (where it was stated he was "too emotional" to go on camera) that he had his hood up and his back to the camera, so you couldn't even see his face. I am not saying this means anything in regards to involvement-there have been a few other cases this year where the parents didn't initially go on camera or make pleas. Though I personally never understand any parents of a missing child not speaking out. One never knows how they are going to react when their child goes missing, but I feel confident that it'd be screaming for anyone with a camera to put my child's picture up with a plea from me to bring him/her home! Also, I'd probably also be sending a message to him/her that I am looking and tell him/her to get to a phone if he/she can, etc....
I am also curious about the posts earlier that the step-mom was not sure if she saw Hailey the day she went missing too. I've been looking through some of the articles (admit that I haven't read them all and haven't made it through the first full thread yet), but has step-mom or dad spoken out about not being sure when they last saw her? Or has anyone read or heard anything from dad or step-mom in interviews or articles or spoken out personally at all?
