No Arrests Made 6 Years After Hailey Dunn's Disappearance

COLORADO CITY, TX – Six years after Hailey Dunn disappeared from her hometown Colorado City, her case remains unsolved. Hailey’s remains were found and identified in March of 2013.

The 13 year-old was reported missing on December 27, 2010 after her mother realized Hailey was nowhere to be found. According to reports, nothing went missing from her room and there was no indication the teen had run away.

Even after her remain were identified and the investigation continued, no arrests were made. Hailey Dunn’s murder remains free and her case file remains open.
