Camp Mystic Search Shaken by Hair Mix-Up
Searchers at Camp Mystic thought they had a major breakthrough when a blonde hair bun was found near the riverbank—matching the missing 8-year-old girl’s description. For a moment, it felt like hope.
But DNA results delivered a gut punch: the hair belonged to her best friend, not the missing girl.
Now, investigators are left with disturbing questions:
Was the friend near the river again? Did the missing girl carry the hair? Or… was it planted?
“This felt like progress,” said one searcher. “Now it feels like we’re further away than ever.”
Police are narrowing the search zone and using forensic mapping to retrace the girls’ steps. Families cling to hope, but one question echoes louder than ever:
Where is she?
