A missing and endangered high school student who suddenly vanished after meeting a man on a gaming platform is feared to be dead – and cops have arrested him as part of their probe.
Indiana teen Hailey Buzbee, 17, was last seen by her parents on Jan.5 and was initially considered a runaway before cops later said she left with a plan and was at risk.
Buzbee was allegedly picked up by Tyler Thomas, 39, who she had met on an online gaming platform, and likely died within a few days of her disappearance, Fisher officers announced on Feb. 1.
A car linked to Thomas was seen in Buzbee’s neighborhood and he admitted to picking her up when quizzed by investigators, according to court docs seen by WSYX.
