About the witness sightings of Hailey on Monday evening. I have my doubts for a few reasons. But one is from personal experience.
When my daughter was 15 she and her best friend tried to pull one over on us. They wanted to go to a concert in another city wirth 2 senior boys driving them. She didn't even bother asking, and if she had, I would have been more suspicious of her plans that Friday night.
She quite regularly slept over at one of her friends houses because they had a dance class on saturday morning. So they traded off between our house and hers quite regularly. So that friday late afternoon she went off with dance shoes and said goodbye like usual.
Too bad for her my son was at the movies and saw her 'sleepover' friend there on a date. When he got home he asked me where 'O' was and I told him. No she's not, he said. And told me that he saw the friend earlier. I immediately called their home even though it was almost midnight. The mother woke up her daughter who said there were never plans to sleep over and she didnt know where she was. [ which i later found out was true.]
Anyhow I grabbed our cell phone bill and began calling the numbers she called most often. People did not seem upset that I called late, they were all trying to be helpful. One of the first numbers I called was a good friends home. The mother of the friend got on the phone and SWORE to me that she had seen my daughter at the football game that night. It was an away game, and it kind of surprised me that she would go. But this lady knew my kid since girl scouts and we saw each other in the neighborhood often. So I spent a lot of time calling around the friends she was supposedly seen with. Just about the time I was going to call 911, at about 2 am, I got THE call. One of the kids I had called knew the truth about the secret concert date, and told their parents, who then called me. [ My daughter had her phone off all of this time.] Anyhow , needless to say, big time consequences, even though I have to admit that I tried the same thing at her age. LOL
THe Point of my rambling story is that even credible well intentioned witnesses can get things wrong. NONE of the other people were able to corroborate my friends memory of the football game.
That is why I doubt this ladies sighting as well. I think others would have seen her and the other kids. And I don't think those kids could lie and keep it under wraps for this long if they had been with HD that night. Just MOO..
) would have ever been found...
