Texas Rangers spent the day combing through 13-year old Hailey Dunn's room searching for some type of lead.

"It's frustrating that it's been nine days," said Billie Dunn, Hailey's mother, "but I know that they're working hard, and they're working long hours."

But still no sign of the missing girl.

"I want Hailey to know that I just want her to walk through the door," said Dunn.

Texas Rangers also spent the day giving several polygraphs to people including Shawn Adkins, Hailey's mother's boyfriend who was the last person to see her alive.

"Those tests are going to be helpful, and the if the investigators trust them, I trust them," said Dunn.

Nine days ago, Adkins says Hailey told him she was going to her father's house, then to a friend's house down the road, but on Tuesday night's episode of the Nancy Grace SHow, it was revealed that bloodhounds, traced Hailey's scent to the Western Suites Hotel.

"I heard that they traced her to the front door of our hotel," said Bonnie Lane, who works at the Western Suites Hotel, and once coached Hailey in softball.

Many people believe a hotel so close to the highway poses a red flag, but Lane says it's still a lead.

"It shows that there's hope," she said, "I just pray that someone will come forth and say something,"

As authorities narrow down the persons of interest in the investigation, all eyes turn to Colorado City.
