I moved to Chicago from Indianapolis when I got married. Fishers is an upscale area overall, and that particular subdivision is considered somewhat "luxury" homes ($500,00 - $800,000 in a city where the median home price is low 200,000s). A very safe area overall when I lived there so I can see her father worried it was an "outside influence" that helped her in leaving. The Fishers Police have been doing updates - no new news but here is their link. Log into Facebook

No. It’s nice, but not a luxury neighborhood with $500,000-$800,000 homes!

I could not find any SM, I wonder if she has deleted them

Her Roblox is still there. Her other accounts are disabled.

 

[anmossrn]

wait do we know where she was last seen? was it js at her home and no other witnesses remember seeing her?

Parents saw her at home, in her bedroom, around 10pm.

No. It’s nice, but not a luxury neighborhood with $500,000-$800,000 homes!

I just went by what was in the press when the homes started selling there. CalAtlantic Homes Introduces New Enclave Of Luxury Single-Family Homes In Fishers, IN

Here's a few current available homes in the subcivision (NOT her home). Enclave At Vermillion Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Fortville, IN. See All MLS Listings Now!

Having moved to Chicago from Indianapolis, I can say that a $500,000 home there would be a million and up in my neighborhood here (my 1915 1000 square foot Mission bungalow that's NOT been updated other than plumbing and electrical was $400,000 so big sticker shock when I moved to Chicago

Where she lives is nice neighborhood to grow up in, but even the best of families and homes can have stressers for teens. I hope she is somewhere safe.

So young, and wanting more -- understandable in many situations at home or at school, etc. Young and looking for a better situation.
How can this horror be stopped? Surely, surely something can be done. But how, how, how?
Those who are wanting more (understandable -- SMH) -- the lures of better situations.
Scary, with very bad (usually) outcomes.

Fishers Police Department
HAILEY BUZBEE UPDATE 1/20/2026

We want to thank everyone for their continued interest in the search for Hailey Buzbee. We have received numerous tips, and together, FPD, state, and federal partners have investigated every single one.

Sharing her information is helping. Calling us with pertinent information is helping. Please continue to do both!

Because this is an active investigation and to protect Hailey, many details about the search for her cannot be shared publicly. Here’s what we can tell the public:

Hailey did not act alone. She left her house either the night of January 5th or in the early morning hours of January 6th. Hailey left her house willingly and with a plan, which categorized her as a runaway. We do not believe she acted alone in leaving.

Based on the facts of the investigation, which we cannot share with the public at this time, her case has now been upgraded to an endangered missing juvenile. We have worked with and continue to work with our state and federal law enforcement partners to locate Hailey. If you see Hailey or have any pertinent information on her whereabouts, please call 911 or the non-emergency line at 317-773-1282.

Mayor Scott Fadness, the Fishers Police Chief Ed Gebhart, the FBI and others just walked out to tell us they believe Hailey Buzbee is dead. They tell us this is tragic news and they have taken 39 year Tyler Thomas (SP) of Ohio into custody.

He admitted he picked her up but then claimed he left her on the side of the road in OH. Columbus, OH Police found evidence in his home and his car that she had been in his house and at a short term rental property.

Right now they have not found her body, but they believe they have evidence to prove he killed her. He is not charged with her murder at this time as they continue to search for her and more evidence.

He is being held right not on no bond, he will be in court tomorrow.

Such a devastating outcome. Surely he will eventually face charges out of Indiana as well?

Under 18 U.S. Code § 2423 - Transportation of minors he's looking at 10 years (I assisted with a case involving an airline pilot from another country working for a US airline who met a US minor on the internet and took her across state lines for . . well, you can guess. She was found safe). That's only max 10 years though. If Hailey is indeed deceased as police have stated that interstate charge is the least of his issues. My heart just aches for what her family is going through.

Quick Court Record search for him, Hocking and Franking Co (Columbus) counties only searched. No records, civil or criminal for Tyler Thomas with the middle initial "N". Judici Captcha Page (Franklin Co, Ohio)

Can you check Fairfield? That's the county right below Franklin, and northern Fairfield/southern Franklin counties are starting to meld into one due to urban sprawl, so sometimes crooks wander through there. Hocking isn't impossible but is further south than I'd think he'd go unless we have reason to believe otherwise.

Grieving Indiana father calls for 'Hailey's Law' as police search for daughter's body Hailey Buzbee was last seen Jan. 5. Her father wants to create "Pink Alerts" for missing people and children that don't meet other alert standards.
Grieving Indiana father calls for 'Hailey's Law' as police search for daughter's body

"Today's predators often pose as friends, peers, or mentors—reaching children through social media, gaming platforms, and online communities. Our laws, alerts, and education standards must reflect that reality."


In announcing an arrest, police said Hailey met the man who allegedly took her through online gaming, though they did not specify which game.

I ask that the mods please keep up the post by Johenry1922 #34. Reason being this is a valuable lesson that needs to be learned by every person reading. I know that social media posts are not allowed and this poster didn’t provide a link to this post but I am sure that can be arranged with the poster. Everyone needs to see the end result of trusting someone you meet through social media especially social media games and online games. The person who wrote this post and knew this man has to live with themselves knowing they harbored a possible murderer and at the same time they have to wonder why this man didn’t kill them as well. This person may be the one who turned him in for all we know that is unknown at this moment.

If you delete the above post you may delete this post as well as it will be irrelevant.
