River Discovery Deepens Mystery of Missing 8-Year-Old
At Camp Mystic, a blonde hair bun found near the river gave investigators hope—until DNA showed it belonged to the missing girl’s best friend, who had already been found.
The discovery has raised unsettling questions. Was the friend there again? Did the missing girl keep the hair? Or was it planted?
“We thought we were close,” one searcher said. “Now it feels like we’re back at the beginning.”
Police have tightened the search and brought in experts to retrace the girls’ final movements. The search continues.
