I came across this while looking at another case and wanted to post it. I wonder, if she was deceased and her body was found, would they guess a younger age because of the teeth or would they be able to get close because of her bones?

A blind woman lived at the Grand Avenue apartment. Witnesses reported hearing Hasley in the bathroom with two other people, and later saw her sitting on the fire escape. The witnesses said when they heard the fire door go off, they believed Hasley left the building through an alley door on the building’s north side.

No one has seen Hasley since the night of the parties.

Hasley was involved with drugs and prostitution prior to her disappearance, but her loved ones have stated she would not have abandoned her three children.

She is described as a 5-foot-5 white female weighing 128 pounds. She has strawberry blonde hair and hazel eyes.

Hasley does not have permanent teeth; at the time of her disappearance, all her baby teeth were still present. She has a one-inch scar on her left thigh, an appendectomy scar, pierced ears, and the left side of her nose is pierced.

She was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans and a beige jacket.
