Mark Harris, Baily's father prepared the following statement this afternoon:
"My family and I would like to thank the Bedford Police Department, Mitchell Police Department, Detective Woodward, all of our friends and others who gave us support and sent us information about Bailey.
It's amazing that so many people in the Bedford and Mitchell communities were willing to help a family they don't know.
Bailey was brought to the Mitchell Police Department by a concerned citizen this afternoon. Thank God she is safe now."
