Community concern is mounting as the Orange County Sheriff's Office intensifies its search for Haylee Moore, a 15-year-old girl from the Hillsborough area who has been missing since early this week. According to WRAL, Haylee was last seen leaving her north Hillsborough home, near Coleman Loop, between late Sunday night and early Monday morning, and officials are now reaching out to the public for assistance.

Described as being 5’2” tall with long brown hair and brown eyes, and weighing around 130 pounds, Haylee's absence has prompted an urgent appeal. As reported by WXII 12, officials believe she may have traveled to the Mebane area. The local community, meanwhile, has become actively involved in spreading the word about Haylee's disappearance.

Hopes endure that increased public awareness may yield new leads in the case. The Sheriff's Office, making prompt efforts, entered Haylee's details into the NCIC database early Monday as a missing juvenile, as highlighted by News of Orange. P. Gilchrist is currently leading the investigation and has been the point of contact for any information related to the missing teenager.

Authorities urge anyone with information about Haylee's whereabouts, or who has seen someone matching her description to act without delay. "If you see Haylee Moore, please call 911 immediately," per instructions outlined in WRAL. For more specific tips or leads, Detective P. Gilchrist can be contacted directly at (919) 245-2928, and community members are encouraged to act on any potential sighting of Haylee, this past week.
