Six months after being reported missing, alleged sightings of Hailey Dunn are still being reported.

The latest came at 7:26 p.m. Tuesday when an operator at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children called local dispatchers. A caller reported that the he spotted a girl that resembled the Colorado City teen with an adult male at the Snyder Best Western Inn.

Police were dispatched to the hotel where they found a man and his 13-yearold daughter who were traveling through town.

Reports said that the girl did bear a resemblance to Hailey Dunn, but was not her.

This is the second reported sighting of a girl resembling the teen who was reported missing on Dec. 28.

On Jan. 17, Scurry County dispatch received a call of a red vehicle which had a girl resembling Hailey Dunn on Hwy. 208. Law enforcement was unable to locate the vehicle.

The girl was last seen leaving her Colorado City home on Dec. 27 by Shawn Adkins, the former livein boyfriend of Hailey's mother, Billie Jean Dunn.

The next day, Billie Dunn reported her daughter missing.

Law enforcement and volunteers continue to search and no leads have been reported. Volunteers search each Saturday and meet at 9 a.m. at 153 Walnut Street in Colorado City. Billie Dunn has since left Colorado City, but returned for a vigil last week at Ruddick Park. Adkins also has moved from the area.

A $15,000 reward is being offered for any information that leads
