And her grandparents could tell she was doing this.
She was just trying to be frustrating and she was intentionally trying to take as long as she could.
But the grandparents made sure they kept her in their view.

They'd walk a little ways, they'd turn, and she'd be right there over and over again.
And then at some point when they turned, she wasn't there.
And so the grandparents immediately run back up and they're looking around for Haley thinking she probably darted behind a tree to hide because she wants, you know, to be a little bit more frustrating for them.
And so they're kind of looking for her.
They're not that worried yet.
They start yelling for her saying, come on, we do gotta leave.
You gotta come out, we gotta go.
But there was no word from Haley.
It was just silence and she was just totally gone.
And for the next 90 minutes, the grandparents just ran all up and down this trail screaming for Haley and they never found her.
And so they ran down and they called police.
The largest search and rescue mission in the history of Arkansas was launched for Haley Zaga.
It included hundreds of searchers on the ground, including eight dog teams and helicopters overhead.
There were firefighters, the National Guard was involved.
But after two days, despite this incredible search, really no progress had been made.
The only thing that had been found was one of the dog teams had tracked her scent up to a nearby road where the dog stopped, meaning the scent is now gone.
