I almost made a thread for her when she disappeared. But then I saw that she had a Project Lifesaver band, was near water, and thought they'd find her pretty quickly.
Now, it turns out the band wasn't even on her. Yet her parents were apparently urging them to trace it to find her.
Mom has some very recent criminal history. Dad is 70!
Hayes was a member of the sheriff’s office’s Project Lifesaver program. Her family is from the Bristol area, according to the sheriff’s office. The program provides bands with transmitters that at-risk individuals with cognitive disabilities can wear. The bands track the individual’s location in case they abscond or go missing.
Hayes, a nonverbal child, was reported missing on Sunday after her mother told authorities that she wandered away from a rental home in Hagley, according to the Georgetown County Sheriff’s Office.

Arrest warrants say that after Saylor's body was found, the couple encouraged the search team to use the tracking device, despite knowing that she was not wearing the monitoring device. Furthermore, the couple is accused of directing the search away from the water.
