BIG SPRING, Texas -- Several law enforcement authorities are combing the scene Wednesday morning in Big Spring where human remains were found Tuesday.

Some officers were at the scene before daybreak, and a long line of official vehicles arrived just before 9 a.m., including an unusual-looking specialty truck with a camper on back. Another vehicle was a criminal investigation unit.

The scene is an oil field equipment facility with large metal tanks, metal shops and a warehouse on the property. There are barrels, fork lifts, cinder blocks and oil field equipment across the property.

Several officers wearing khaki pants and dark blazers were on the property searching an area that appears to be behind a metal shop and interviewing workers in a warehouse located at the facility.

There has been no official word whether the remains found Tuesday are those of missing Colorado City teenager Hailey Dunn. Authorities are just beginning their examination of the remains.

At least one news organization released an inaccurate headline Wednesday morning indicating the remains were of Hailey Dunn. of course they did. reporters/news outlets don't check little things like FACTS. that was GMA who should know better. assholes.

Mitchell County Sheriff Patrick Toombs, involved since the beginning in the investigation of Hailey's disappearance, said it would be at least a week before any positive identification could be made.

Big Spring is an area of interest in the Hailey Dunn case because suspect Shawn Adkins told authorities that on the day Hailey disappeared that he left his job in Snyder and went to Big Spring, where his mother lived.

Although the remains are of interest in the Hailey Dunn case, there are also another five people allegedly missing in the Big Spring area.

The unidentified remains were found Tuesday in the 2500 block of Apron Drive, about two blocks east of the airport.

Several law enforcement authorities arrived at daybreak Wednesday to begin examine the scene in a field just east of the McMahon-Wrinkle Airport in Big Spring.

Several marked police cars were at the scene, along with several black SUVs with other authorities. The FBI agents involved in the Hailey Dunn case were requested to come to the scene.

Several members of the news media are stationed just outside a large area that has been marked off with crime tape.
