She has black hair, brown eyes.

She's a little bit shorter than me.

She's four years old.

She likes to tell jokes and she likes to sing songs.

And then Haley began singing songs that she had learned from Alicia and began telling jokes she had learned from Alicia.

Even though Haley was giving this vivid description of this four-year-old girl named Alicia running around the bluffs, it just couldn't be possible.

And so Haley's parents and the investigators went back to treating Alicia as just an imaginary friend, just a simple coping mechanism.

And so the investigators went back to just doing their interview with Haley.

They got all the information about how she got from the bluffs down to the river as much as they could.

And then because Haley was fine, they said, okay, you're good.

See you later.

Now, Haley's case was a really big deal and it was all over the news, especially after she was found.

And so her interview where she said this imaginary friend named Alicia had assisted her in getting down the bluffs and had basically taken care of her, that was put in print.

And after it was published, there were some readers that realized there was another little girl who had gone missing in the exact same spot as Haley 23 years earlier.

She was four years old.

She had black hair, brown eyes.

Her name was Alana and she had died on those bluffs.

After this connection was made, it got national media attention because suddenly news outlets were saying this imaginary friend was actually Alana and that she was Haley's guardian angel.

In fact, Haley was brought on Dateline to talk about her imaginary friend.

One night in the summer of 1904, a young woman named Anna Gray was laying in her bed in her second story room in a bed and breakfast in Chicago, Illinois, except she couldn't sleep.
