Fourteen years on, what happened to missing person Hayley Dodd? FOR the past few days police have been scouring a farming property on North West Road in Badgingarra near where Hayley Dodd went missing in July 1999. Margaret Dodd says she has organised many private searches for her daughter, Hayley, in vain. 17-year-old Hayley Dodd with her sister Raeanne in December, 1998.

It was July 29, 1999, when 17-year-old Hayley Dodd disappeared while she was hitchhiking along North West Road, two hours north of Perth near in the remote town of Badgingarra. She had hitched a lift from Dongara, approximately 150km north-northwest from Perth, where she was worked briefly as a roustabout before deciding to move on to Moora, a 160km journey, to visit family friends. According to Crime Stoppers Western Australia, she set off on foot at around 8am wearing "light brown suede hiking boots, blue denim jeans, a black v neck top, light grey jacket with hood and silver sunglasses." She grabbed a lift with a 50-tonne low loader at a service station and during the lift, Hayley discussed her plans but said she would return to Dongara the following Monday or Tuesday. After being dropped off, she reportedly made a phone call at 10.30am and was given a lift by a woman to North West Road, where she was last spotted at around 11am by a motorist who saw her walking towards a farm. The disappearance of Hayley in WA's wheatbelt district remains one of the State's most baffling unsolved cases, no one has yet been charged and for years, the Dodd family has been searching for answers. "The idea of the memorial (in Mandurah, WA), is to give people like us who do not have graves to go to somewhere to put a flower on a birthday," said Margaret Dodd. The Special Crime Squad, an elite team of detectives whose task it is to solve "cold cases," has been handling Hayley's case for the last few years, but up until now there has been little result. "I feel as though I am in a house of horrors with two doors to open, and whichever I choose to walk through the result is going to be terrifying," Margaret wrote on Hayley's Missing Person's Facebook page. But there is renewed hope to find Hayley. Nearly two weeks ago, a Special Crime Squad unit returned to a property in Badgingarra after a cold-case re-examination uncovered significant new evidence. The property is less than a kilometre from where Dodd was last seen, while reports have revealed a former owner of the property is doing time for the abduction and rape of a woman in rural Queensland. Police search John Wark's property near Badjingarra for the Hayley Dodd missing person case.

Francis John Wark, who sold the Badgingarra property four months after Hayley went missing, is serving a 12-year prison term for the 2007 kidnap and rape of a woman in her 30s, who he picked up as she was hitchhiking. This isn't the first time the property has been searched, but this time, forensic police are using a ground radar to penetrate the earth and look for objects of interest buried beneath the earth. Detectives reportedly flew to Queensland late last week to interview 57-year-old Wark, but police have not commented on whether he is a suspect. A WA police spokeswoman said the search could continue for weeks. The massive search for the remains of teenager Hayley Dodd, who vanished 14 years ago was sparked by significant new information, police say.

"This has been a long and difficult case for Hayley's family," said Acting Commander Scott Higgins from the State Crime Command. The WA police are very, very keen to resolve this matter. Because of the new developments, a coronial inquest into the teen's disappearance that was scheduled to take place in January has been postponed. "God bless you all for doing what you are doing now, the fourteen years of anguish, and arguments with the police mean nothing," said Margaret via Facebook. Find my daughter, then her killer. That is all that matters today.
