On September 20, 2021, the families of Bernard and Kauffman called to report their children as runaways. Both Hailly and Patrick are friends, and it appears both left their homes during the overnight hours without permission.
Neither of them showed up at school today and attempts to locate them have been unsuccessful thus far. It is not known if the pair are traveling together, but it appears from initial information they may have started together. Neither family knows where they may be going and are concerned for their welfare.
Hailly L. Bernard is described as a 12-year-old female, approximately 5’02”, thin build and brown hair. It is not known what clothing she was wearing when she left home.
Patrick G. Kauffman is described as a 14-year-old male, approximately 5’07”, 160 lbs., with red hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a camo sweatshirt with gray sleeves (pictured) and camo pants. In the photo, Patrick is wearing glasses, but he is not currently wearing them.
