Hailey Dunn was born
August 28, 1997. She disappeared four months
after her thirteenth birthday, on December 27, 2010. I don’t know why I said
she was 12 in an earlier blog…but, to me, the difference between 12 and 13 is
minimal and inconsequential…overall.
Fact is she is gone and under seemingly bad circumstances.
An Amber Alert was never issued because the
case did not meet the criteria according to reports. Why? Per the national guidelines as to use of the
Amber Alert and as interpreted by the State of Texas, they didn’t have a
suspect and a vehicle description – which is required.
However, local law
enforcement themselves questioned this. They
felt her sudden disappearance wasn’t the result of her running away and it was
definitely suspicious.
Isabel Celis disappeared from
her family home two months ago. She was
six years old at the time. An Amber
Alert wasn’t issued. According to press
reports, there wasn’t an identified suspect and a description of the “getaway
vehicle”.
Some people have very
strong feelings about this – they feel that the Amber law is as it should be
and if a case doesn’t meet the stringent criteria, it shouldn’t be issued.
Some people have strong
feelings because I said Hailey was 12 when she disappeared…however, she was 13…by
four months. Such is life.
We will all disagree at
times on things and see things in a different light…that is the human
experience. It is why witnesses aren’t
always dependable and why there is conflict between people. Humans see, discern and analyze what is
presented to them based on their own unique experience. We are all different, special…valuable and
most of us are well-meaning.
Two children are missing
and we still don’t know where they are and what happened. I don’t know about you, but that freaks me
out. Arguing about little discrepancies
in facts…or trying to condemn what each of us sees and feels about an event
doesn’t erase the very real fact that at least two children are missing. And, clearly, we all care.
What do we do? What do you think? Do you think Sergio did something to his
little girl and there is blood evidence?
If that is the case…or were the case…I have no doubt that the TPD would
have arrested him. If he is/was
dangerous to his children, don’t you think Child Protective Services would have
filed a petition with the court rather than having him voluntarily stay away
from his boys? Think.
No one knows what
happened. But lots of people have
opinions and the Police/law enforcement, I am sure, have their suspicions. There are so many maybes here. Maybe she was taken away, to protect her…..due
to threats by other parties. I don’t
know…I’m just speculating. If the police
had concrete information that Mr. Celis was a danger to his children…he’d be in
jail and the Juvenile Court would have issued orders.
That being said, there
are a lot of questions about this family…their associates and relatives. Most people feel their responses and early
interactions with the media were suspect.
Perhaps so. I myself felt Sergio
was being artificial. But, I don’t know
what really happened or why they responded as they did as a family and am not
willing to condemn them for not appearing as we think they should.
The important thing is
Isabel is still missing…and lately nothing is said about her on the news and in
the paper. That is wrong…she is a baby
girl and ought to be visible on the news and daily in our thoughts. Let’s just all concentrate on what we can do
to keep her alive in our world and in our reality. She’s out there somewhere and deserves our
care.
