A Walk of Fath for Hailey Dunn, now missing 2 years.

December 27th marked the 2 year anniversary of the disappearance of CMS student Hailey Dunn.  She was last seen leaving her home on Chestnut Street, on her way to a friend's home, but she never made it.  A prayer vigil was held this past Saturday in her honor.   Yesterday, volunteers retraced Hailey's steps in what was called a "Walk of Faith".   Thanks to Glenda Turner for providing these pictures from the event.
