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.

Hope for Hailey Dunn-a 2 year prayer vigil held at the Park.

December 27th will mark 2 years since our very own Hailey Dunn was last seen in Colorado City.  A 2 Year prayer Vigil was held last night in her honor and was sponsored by the organization Hope For Hailey and lots of volunteers. The event was held at Ruddick Park and prayers were offered by Monte Wikle, candles were lit and ornaments were placed on a Christmas tree.
