368: Hailey Owens

It was the 18th of February, 2014, and on West Lombard Street in Springfield, Missouri, a man was raking leaves in his front yard. Then a little girl came around the corner.

And then it stopped.SPONSORS - Nutrafol: Find out why Nutrafol is the best-selling hair growth supplement.
