A 16-year-old was located Wednesday after being found at a Russell Way residence.
Still missing are sisters Hailey and Lindsey Hamby. They have attempted to change their appearance by changing hair colors, investigators said. Lindsey attempted to bleach her hair but it turned out more orange than blonde. Lindsey is 16, five feet 2 inches tall with blue eyes. Hailey Hamby is 16, 5 feet 2 inches tall with brown eyes.

They were last seen in the area of Black Jack Inn in South Lake Tahoe, and surrounding hotels and motels. The girls are possibly in the company of an adult male, Andrew Hernandez (also uses the name Nathaniel Hernandez) who drives a black 2006 Ford Explorer with Nevada License Plate 17E682.
