The Fishers Police Department is providing new details in the ongoing search for 17-year-old Hailey Buzbee, whose case was recently upgraded to an endangered missing juvenile investigation.

In an update released Tuesday, police said they have received and investigated numerous tips from the public with the assistance of state and federal law enforcement partners. Authorities thanked the community for continuing to share Hailey’s information and for reporting credible leads, noting that public involvement has been critical to the investigation.

Because the case remains active, police said many details cannot be released in order to protect Hailey. However, investigators confirmed that Hailey left her home willingly sometime during the night of January 5 or the early morning hours of January 6 and initially was classified as a runaway.

Police now believe Hailey did not act alone and left with a plan. Based on investigative findings that have not been made public, her case has since been elevated to endangered missing juvenile status, indicating heightened concern for her safety.

Anyone who sees Hailey or has information that could help locate her is urged to call 911 immediately or contact the Fishers Police Department non-emergency line at 317-773-1282.

Police emphasized that continued sharing of Hailey’s information and reporting of relevant tips could help bring her home safely.
