A distraught father posted an emotional video on YouTube to help find his 17-year-old daughter, who has been missing since December 26.
Ray Wilson, from Amarillo, Texas, has taken to the internet in the hope someone will find his daughter Haley, who ran away from home leaving behind only a note to tell them not to try and find her.
On the video he uploaded yesterday he wrote: 'I love my daughter very much and threw together this video in hopes of finding her safe. Please pass this info along and God Bless.'
Scroll down for video
Introduction: Mr Wilson appears on screen with the first flash card while Texas Heat's Misty Waters plays in the background
Missing teen: Ray Wilson is desperate to find his daughter Haley who ran away on Monday
Vehicle: He shows a picture of the 2003 Ford Focus Station Wagon she is driving
Within hours, the video had more than 167,000 hits and the story gained a huge following on Twitter and Facebook.
Runaway: Haley Faith Wilson is 17, 5' 6" and weighs 120 pounds
In the video, Mr Wilson simply holds up flashcards telling his story to viewers while The Texas Heat's Misty Waters is played in the background.
Mr Wilson told the MailOnline he wrote and recorded the song with the band about Haley and her little sister.
The lyrics say: 'Misty waters, tears refine. Loving daughters, memories align.'
Haley Faith Wilson ran away from home on December 26 after 10pm in a silver, 2003 Ford Focus station wagon.
She is five feet six inches tall and weighs 120 pounds. Her father revealed she was wearing tie dye and bracelets.
She loves singing and playing the guitar, he says, and also left her cell phone behind.
When he holds up the goodbye note she left, a visibly distraught Mr Wilson tries to hold back his tears.
The note said: 'It's because you care and there is nothing going for me. I love you more than you know. You'll get my goodbye. All my lovin.
'Don't look for me dad, I know you go to the end of the world for me but you wont find me plz.'
The teen also left behind a map which had highlighted Humboldt, Arcata, and Bisbee.
Though he had no idea there was any relationship between them at first, Mr Wilson said someone sent him a link with the three locations listed as 'Hippie Havens'.

Haley is alone, he believes, and none of her friends have heard from her.
'So far it looks like she is alone and her friends are just as much in the dark, worried and scared as her family,' he told MailOnline.
In the video the father-of-four pleads with viewers: 'I just want her to be found safe. I love her very much.
'Will you pass this along and pray? Thank you.'
Note: Haley's parents found this note in her room along with a map and her cellphone
Plea: It tells her dad not to try to find her
Map: Haley left this behind and had highlighted Humboldt, Arcata and Bisbee
No contact: Mr Wilson holds up the cellphone his daughter left behind
Wish and hope: Mr Wilson is desperate to get his daughter back safe
Because Hayley is 17-years-old she is considered a legal adult in Texas and her name has been entered into a national database of runaways.
Mr Wilson believes social media is the only way of finding his daughter and is hoping for a miracle.
'We had such a great Christmas together and I didn't see this coming. We spent a lot of time with the kids and I don't think we could have done anything differently'
He said his daughter left home through her bedroom window. He and his wife Amber noticed when they woke up she was gone.
He said: 'I went out to start my car and noticed that her car was gone and that her bedroom window was open.
'I came inside and went into her room. I saw that her bedding, acoustic guitar and a few small items were gone. I also found the note that I put in the video.'
When he was inundated with questions about his daughter's disappearance, he decided to make the video to get the word out to as many people as possible.
He said they had 'some incidents', which he called 'normal 17-year-old type things' but he said he didn't see this coming.'
'We just had a perfect Christmas together, complete with snow, family and friends. Everything seemed to be fine and she seemed very happy.
'It was the first Christmas that she had worked, saved and bought everyone in the family a gift. She was very proud of that. I don't think we could have done anything differently.'
Social media is now his biggest hope, he said, and he wants someone to reach out to her and make sure he is safe.
Last seen: Haley went missing from her bedroom in Amarillo. Her dad believes she climbed out the window
Baffled: Ray Wilson said he did not see this coming and thought they had a really good Christmas together
On the Facebook page set up to help the Wilsons find their missing daughter, people from all over America have offered their wishes and some even promise to look out for her.
College student Lana Wojcik wrote: 'I live in Safford, Arizona, which is about two hours from Bisbee. I know alot of people in Bisbee. I am keeping my eyes open. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.'
This father has evidently recently seen the videos of that boy that died before christmas using flash cards,
and the video of that girl who's mother committed suicide and witnessed the sympathy they gained. The 'note' she left does not add up either and does not seem realistic!
Viewing the above second video of him during an interview and recognising the crocodile tears it certainly draws parallels with the following documentary previous posted on here.
NB: for some reason the above video is not embedding but please do follow the link.
This phenomena is happening far to regularly.

Hmnn...interesting videos. Not sure about Ray Wilson - he certainly seems to be uncomfortable (lots of shrugging, touching of face, etc) and appears to pretend to cry, but I can't say for sure if I think he's lying.
The other guy though (the one who killed his wife) - wow! 'Ask the dogs, Sandra' springs to mind... I had no idea the police were allowed to bug a home if there was no other evidence forthcoming. Also interesting that the detective who reviewed the case broke it down so simply - who had the opportunity? who had the means? let's focus on him.
The McCanns are the most obvious suspects and need to be well and truly questioned.

Just read that one. When they're that young such as in the case of M.Mc then its even more likely the parents are involved.

Hi AnnaEsse
Looks useful, but is there a way of removing Yahoo as one's Home page once it's downloaded? I couldn't see an option to uncheck it during the installation stage.

Completely agree. If one of the purposes of a review is to look at potential suspects, I would have thought that Scotland Yard would want to interview the parents.

I think it should be fairly easy to remove. On Windows 7, click on 'Tools,' and then 'Options,' and then 'General,' where you'll see your present Home Page. In there, you can scrub Yahoo and return to your preferred Home Page.
