Fort Hood Soldiers, family members help search for missing Texas girl
Three months ago Hailey Dunn vanished from Colorado City, seemingly without a trace. Initially, volunteers poured into the town to help search for the 13-year-old cheerleader, but as days turned to weeks and then months, the number of volunteers dwindled.
When Misty Moody, who grew up in Colorado City and still has contacts in the West Texas town, heard of the stalled search efforts, she knew she and her husband, Sgt. Brian Moody, could help. The Moodys shared their proposal to join in the search effort with Soldiers and spouses in the 4th Battalion, 5th Air Missile Defense Artillery Regiment, 69th Air Defense Artillery Brigade, who responded with full support.
“My husband mentioned it to the guys here, and within two days, we had 28 people,” Misty said. The volunteers included Soldiers and spouses who traveled to West Texas the first weekend in March to take part in a search for the missing teen.
The dedication of the group also drew the attention of members of Hailey’s family. Misty said the group received a phone call from Hailey’s father, Clint Dunn, after the first search.
“He called and personally thanked us,” she said.
