‘Deviant acts,' porn found on digital evidence seized in Hailey Dunn case
Almost 109,000 images and videos depicting "deviant acts" and pornography were found on a computer and memory stick confiscated in the investigating of the disappearance of Colorado City teenager Hailey Dunn, according to authorities investigating the case.
The Dell Inspiron 530 computer contained "approximately 108,498 pictures depicting deviant acts," according to evidence seized after a search warrant issued in early January. The computer was confiscated from the home of Shawn Adkins' mother in the 2800 block of Apache Street in Big Spring.
Adkins, the former boyfriend of Hailey Dunn's mother, Billie Jean Dunn, is the only named suspect in the case.
The search warrants for the digital media were issued by 32nd District Judge Glen Harrison's office in Sweetwater.
A memory stick confiscated from a dresser in the master bedroom of the Dunn residence in Colorado City was found to contain "320 images and videos of a pornographic nature."
Both the computer and the memory stick contain images depicting bestiality and child pornography, said Mitchell County Sheriff Patrick Toombs.
Criminal charges could be filed regarding the memory stick found at the Dunn residence, Toombs said.
"We will have to get with the district attorney in Howard County to see if criminal charges are warranted," Toombs said about the images reportedly found on the computer hard drive.
No arrests have been made in the disappearance of Hailey Dunn, who was reported missing Dec. 28.
Clint Dunn, the teen's father, said he does not want to consider Adkins a suspect in the case, but he said if child pornography was found on the computers, he would be concerned.
"If he wants to prove his innocence, he needs to get out and look (for Hailey)," Clint Dunn said, adding that he will continue to actively search for his daughter for as long as it takes.
"I'll do whatever I have to do," he said.
Evidence obtained from search warrants for two cell phones — one confiscated from Billie Jean Dunn and the other from Adkins — showed that all stored communications were retrieved from Dec. 25 through Jan. 7. Those communications were not detailed by investigators.
The results from the search warrants on the electronics were obtained by the Reporter-News through public information requests to the 32nd District Court in Sweetwater, which covers Fisher, Mitchell and Nolan counties.
The results of the warrants confiscating the cell phones were obtained through Mitchell County Judge Ray Mayo's office.
