Investigators have wrapped up their search of the actual scene near Lake JB Thomas where a body was found Saturday near Snyder, by a man out rock hunting.
We spoke with one man who's studied
the lake for years who said the bones were found in a part of Lake JB Thomas
that has been dried up for quite a while. Based on his knowledge of the area he
said the remains were not found close to water.
We're told the person who found the
remains stumbled upon a skull, a femur, and a tooth.
All of
these remains have now been taken from the lake area to Dallas, where they will be identified using
dental records.
While the news of the body's discovery has taken over the headlines, one group of people has come together in hope and prayer.
The search team of Hailey Dunn, the thirteen-year-old who went missing in 2010, has renewed their efforts in Hailey's search this week.
They took down the stuffed animals that once brought life to Hailey' memorial, and replaced them with flowers.
"The
animals had all lost their color and their vibrancy," said one woman who has
been part of Hailey's search team. "They were dreary and sad looking on the
panels and the garden will brighten it up a little and maybe give people more
hope.
Others in the search team said while they're still hopeful Hailey is alive, they're just looking for an answer.
"Like everybody says we hope it's not her because we want her to be alive still, but at the same time like everybody says it does put closure to it," said one man who has been part of Hailey's search team.
