Father arrested for break-in while investigating daughter's disappearance [View all]

Norfolk police arrested the father of a missing Virginia teen on Saturday after he broke into a home and punched a dog.

Wesley Hadsell, 36, said he was looking for clues in the disappearance of his 18-year-old daughter, Anjelica, who went missing March 2. He's convinced Anjelica was kidnapped, and broke into the home of the person he believes took his daughter against her will, police said.

"I want my daughter home," Hadsell told WAVY. "That's what I want, and that's all I want. Anybody who wants to say something about that or get in the way of that, then I'm sorry. So what, some ways are unorthodox. I didn't have anything to do with her disappearance. I don't know where she's at."

He said he spent about 18 minutes inside the house, and punched the family dog out of anger.

Hadsell said he found his daughter's jacket in the house, "rolled up behind (a couch) cushion." Police wouldn't comment on that, but said that they haven't ruled out foul play in the case of the missing teen.
