Wilson disappeared from her home last Tuesday. She's with a known sex offender Benjamin Shook. The two were last spotted at a gas station in Sugar Grove.

Searchers don't believe they have left the area. Hayleigh's father says he's been through many emotions in the last week but is hopeful for a safe return.

"You have hatred, you have caring, you have sadness. I mean there's just so many emotions. You just feel like you're in that nightmare wishing it would end, but it's just not enough," said Hayleigh's father.

The US Marshal's Service is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to Hayleigh's safe return and Shook's capture.
