Janeczko said they were hoping to bring her home safely as soon as possible.

“She’s been through quite a bit of trauma in her life,” she said. “Hailey’s just young and vulnerable and impressionable.”

Bittern’s aunt, Olive Bouchie, couldn’t make it from Brandon to the search, but spoke to reporters over the phone.

“Hailey, if you can hear me, we all love you. Please contact me,” Bouchie said.
