Fishers PD provides update on Hailey Buzbee case

Editor’s note: The following information was released by the Fishers Police Department on Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 20.

“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.”
