The LE have stated that they are investigating this as two cases. A runaway, and a criminal case.
What if Hailey did in fact runaway, she is somewhere, where she has access to a TV and can read the news reports? We might not know what kind of a home life Hailey had or what kind of a Mother Billie is, but Hailey sure does.
If Billie is not being honest with LE, or Nancy Grace and Hailey has read what we have and seen, on TV what we have and it's not the truth, do you think she would want to come home?
She is 13 years old not 7 or 8.
IMO if there is any chance of that, I think someone needs to go on Nancy Grace and plead to their daughter to come home, things will be changing, they love and miss her very much.
