Details of Disappearance
Hasley was last seen between 11:45 p.m. and 1:45 a.m. at an apartment complex in the vicinity of the 1700 block of Grand Avenue in Des Moines, Iowa. She attended a party at Oak Ridge Apartments that evening and then went to another apartment complex on Grand Avenue.
She is believed to have left the building through an alley door on the north side, but no one actually saw her do so. She has never been heard from again.
Hasley has previously lived in Abel, Iowa and Orlando, Florida. She was involved with drugs and prostitution in 2002, but her loved ones stated she would not have abandoned her family. Her older sister was murdered in 2006, four years after her disappearance; the killing was unrelated to Hasley's case and the murderer confessed and was sentenced to prison.
Hasley's disappearance case remains unsolved.
