Tennessee girl, 14, still missing

An Amber Alert was issued last week for a missing 14-year-old Tennessee girl who was last seen with a 41-year-old man in western North Carolina.

Hayleigh Cheyenne Wilson left her home in Surgoinsville on June 22 and was spotted early June 23 at a Wal-Mart in Marion with Benjamin Shook, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. A vehicle they were believed to be traveling in was found in Grayson, Va., last Thursday.
