betteb, this kind of news is so hard to take, but it's necessary. I thank you for posting it. I can't help but shed tears for this poor little girl, but I've said a prayer and will continue to do so.

Please keep us updated, if you can, please.

I will post back if I hear anything. I'm in Ks and the alert came over my TV. I think when one is issued, they go out to surrounding states.

I see. I hope they find her safe and unharmed. I have told DH to pray for her, too. He's a praying man and he will join us, as many others will too.

I've been summoned for Jury duty tomorrow, so if I don't show up throughout the day, you'll know why.

Just switched on our local FOX channel for the news. It is 1/2 over now, but they are pulling the Alert across the bottom of the screen. Right now they are giving the weather....it is 51 out there, so hope this precious little girl has a jacket with her. Such a pretty little girl. I hope and pray they will find her very soon.

Springfield is southwest of St. Louis.....the other end of the state.

They are saying the vehicle is a gold Ranger.......and the license plate is one of 2 possibilities.

Will definitely keep Hailey in my prayers. This is so sad.......

Yes, they do that in any of the states that are connected.......

They are saying the license plate is 1YF 454 or 1YS 454......apparently someone got the license plate number and saw this occurrence.

Thank goodness they didn't waste any time getting the ALERT out.

Edited to correct license plate #.....

Oh good Showme. I was hoping to see you and some of our other Missouri posters here.

Springfield is probably the closest larger city across the KS/Mo line from me. You never know if they will stay local or try to go for the nearest state line.

Stranger abductions are just terrifying to me

Please let us know if you get chosen for a case...... I loved doing Jury duty......have done it twice. And, I don't know if they summon old folks any more or not.....they need to take too many potty breaks.....LOL. So, don't believe I will ever be called again.........

Good question. At least someone got a good description of the vehicle and plate number.
