RALEIGH COUNTY -

UPDATE:

A Raleigh County family is thankful their 14-year-old daughter is home.  She was missing for 48 hours.

West Virginia State Police troopers say they found Hayli Hoke, in Naoma, in 19-year-old Robby Treadway's vehicle.  Troopers say the girl did not runaway.

The girl told her grandmother that she was just going for a walk, but ended up riding around with Treadway.  

The two got stuck up on the mountain on Drews Creek for three days and stayed with people they knew up there, because of the snow and mud. 

Troopers say she is happy to be back with her mother.

ORIGINAL STORY:

A Raleigh County family is desperately searching for their 14-year-old daughter.

Hayli Hoke has been missing for more than 48 hours. Police say she was last seen with a 21-year-old man, Robby Treadway.

Whitesville State Police received a tip Friday afternoon saying they had seen Hayli on Route 3. Trooper Howell is in pursuit to find her.

Yesterday afternoon a friend of the family told Hayli's mother they saw Hayli in Lester Square getting into Robby's gold Blazer.

Hayli's family last saw her as she walked out the front door, when she told her grandmother she was going for a walk and said she would "be right back."

"I'm just hurt and wish she would come home. I can't sleep or anything because I'm worrying about her. I just hope she comes home safe," said Hayli's grandmother Carrie Williams.

Hayli's mother and grandmother were very surprised to hear she's missing.

"She might stay out longer than she should or run to a friends house when she gets angry, but I always know where she's at. This is the first time she's stayed out over night," said Hayli's mother Barbara Williams.

But neighbors tell 59 News she has run away multiple times. It's already a nightmare to know your daughter is missing, but it's even scarier to know she's with a 21 year old, who Barbara tells us has a bad reputation.

"I've not heard good things about him, but I'm not going to hear good things about him. I don't know Robby, I just know the things people tell me about him and that scares me. I don't know that he's a bad kid but rumors fly," said Hayli's mother.

She said she's frightened for Hayli's life. If Hayli is watching or reading this, this is what she wants her to know.

"Please, call me and let me know you're okay. Come home, I love you, you're not going to be harmed, I just want you to come home."

If anyone has any information on Hayli or Robby, call 911 or Whitesville State Police.
