Haleigh’s mother, Becky Mitchell, told Dateline that when Haleigh was in the Army, one of her responsibilities was to go out to the barracks and check on the female soldiers. One of those soldiers was Vanessa Guillen, who went missing from Fort Hood on April 22, 2020. Harley Murphy has not seen her sister, 22-year-old Haleigh Murphy, since dropping her off at a bar for a night out in Austin, Texas, on Friday, June 16, 2023. 

Haleigh is an Army veteran, a mother to a 2-year-old boy, and a beloved daughter and sister.
