Missing Missouri Sisters May Be With White Supremacist Gang

The search for two missing Missouri teens has attracted the help of FBI agents, indicating a sudden shift in urgency. The two girls, 15-year-old Olivia Bailey and 14-year-old Tori Bailey, were originally considered to be runaways. Now authorities believe that they could both be in danger and are likely being accompanied by gang members. The Cassville-Democrat reports that two endangered missing persons advisories have been issued for the two Monett girls.

The two teens were last seen on Wednesday at around 2:30 p.m. at the YMCA in Monett. Beyond this sighting, it’s not known where the two sisters may have gone, but authorities have confirmed that they have received information that leads them to think that the two sisters are in harm’s way. Sargent Jerry Harrison with the Monett Police Department spoke to the media about the disappearance of the two Missouri sisters.

“In the beginning, they were runaways. We’re having trouble confirming the report, but us and the reporting party believe that’s what happened. Now, we think they may be running with known gang members.”

Harrison didn’t want to confirm or deny any belief that the teens themselves could be involved in gang activity, but he did add that a “birds of a feather” situation was of concern to authorities. The police sergeant also didn’t want to state definitively whether or not Tori and Olivia Bailey were involuntarily kidnapped by the alleged gang members. However, Harrison acknowledged that the circumstances surrounding this disappearance “falls short of qualifying for an Amber Alert.” This is indicative of a dire situation for the two teen girls that are missing.

The two Missouri sisters could be anywhere, but authorities believe they could be in El Dorado Springs. There is also evidence that they could have traveled to Nevada with known gang members. The Springfield News-Leader shares that the girls may be affiliated with a gang known as the Southwest Honkeys. The Southwest Honkeys is a white supremacist gang whose name has become synonymous with crystal meth and racism in the state of Missouri. If these two young teenage sisters are on the run with members of this gang, they could be surrounded by various dangers, from drugs and violence to human trafficking.

If you know anything about this disappearance, or if you’ve seen either of these two missing teen sisters, do not hesitate to contact the authorities in El Dorado Springs. You can also contact your local FBI source since they are now involved in the search for these two Missouri teens.
