Hey, everyone, welcome back to Crime Weekly News.

I'm Derek Levasser.

And I'm Stephanie Harlow.

And today we're going to be talking about a story that a lot of you have suggested both on the comment section on YouTube and the DMs on the Crime Weekly Instagram page. And we were going to cover it. And then as we were talking about covering it, there was a major update in the case. So for anybody who doesn't know this story already, 17-year-old Haley Busby of Fisher's Indiana

has been missing since early January.

She was last seen at her home on the night of January 5th and was initially classified as a

runaway after police believed she left voluntarily.

But as the investigation progressed, her status was upgraded to endangered, and law

enforcement confirmed she did not act alone.

This weekend, Fisher's police and the FBI held a press conference announcing they now believed

Haley is deceased and that the case has shifted from a missing person's investigation to a recovery

mission. A 39-year-old man from Ohio has been arrested in charge with multiple felonies related to the case, though no murder charges have been filed at this time. And we're going to talk about this. Stephanie's going to give you a rundown of what we know so far. But yes, as I was just saying, we were going to come on here and do like a be on the lookout for Haley.

And I think it's important to discuss this, even though it doesn't look like it's gone well for Haley. It doesn't look like Haley's. It doesn't look like Haley's going to come home. And that's just

absolutely devastating. She's 17 years old. Her family is just absolutely crushed. But this is a

very important thing to talk about right now as far as how we can apply it to our own lives.

Because it looks like Haley met her abductor on an online site. And that led me to wonder, is there some

sort of site out there that's directing people or these young girls, these young kids to go to

these sites, to talk to people? I'm not sure. But either way, Haley Busby, she's 17, she lives in

Fisher's Indiana. She was last seen at home on Monday, January 5th, 2026. She was believed to have left the house of her own free will between 10 p.m. and the early hours of the next morning. Now, her father said, listen, we as a family, we don't have the resources for her to run away on her own. so they believed she had help in running away.

And then the family right off the bat was worried someone outside of Haley's social circles

had used social media to influence or lure her away in some way, shape, or form.

Like Derek said, she was originally classified as a runaway because she left the home voluntarily.
