Where is Amy Hadley? My brother is just heart-broken that he doesn't see her on Channel 8 News any longer!

What happened to Amy Hadley on News 8? She did a Halloween haunted house episode back in October and then disappeared...I miss her Fit For Friday reports! The reporter doing them now just doesn't connect to the public like Amy did.
