NEWTON COUNTY HEROES
William Jeff Villines and Lytle James May 3, 2001
Missing child Haley Zega, 6 years old was rescued on the 3rd day in the
upper Buffalo River wilderness area.
As time passed, the professional rescuers were discouraged, realizing
time was of the essence. These two grandfathers independently braved the
treacherous area in search of Haley on mules that were reluctant to
enter the rugged area dotted with 2,000 ft. high bluffs. William and
Lytle declined the reward saying finding Haley alive was reward enough.
The reward was given to Morgan Nick Foundation. Newton County is proud
of these two natives who brought a successful conclusion to the largest
rescue mission ever in the state of Arkansas.
