Tyler Thomas accused in the disappearance of missing Indiana teenager 17-year-old Hailey Buzbee who they now believe is dead. Buzbee was last seen on Monday January 5, 2026 in Hamilton County, Indiana. According to police, investigators previously stated she likely left her home late on the night of January 5 or the early morning of January 6. According to police, detectives tracked a vehicle seen in Buzbee's neighborhood to Thomas, who allegedly admitted to picking her up. Authorities also believe Buzbee died just days after her disappearance, but a massive search involving drones and K9 units in Hocking County has so far failed to locate her body. Police said the two met initially through online gaming.
