In this episode of Tragedy: A True Crime Podcast, we speak with Shasta Ives, a close friend of Hailey Athay and a passionate advocate in the ongoing search for answers surrounding Hailey’s disappearance.

Hailey vanished while mushroom picking in Washington, and despite search efforts and years of unanswered questions, those closest to her have never stopped looking for the truth.

Shasta shares what Hailey was like as a person and the friendship they shared. She also gives a firsthand account of the search efforts, describing the terrain, the volunteers who came together to help, and the determination of those who refuse to let Hailey’s case fade into the background.

But this conversation goes beyond the search itself. Shasta opens up about how Hailey’s disappearance has deeply affected her life and why she continues to advocate for attention and answers in Hailey’s case.

Behind every missing person case is a community still searching, still hoping, and still fighting for justice.

If you have information regarding the disappearance of Hailey Athay, please contact local law enforcement.
