COLORADO CITY, Texas -- Hailey Dunn's mother, Billie Jean Dunn, told KTXS on Tuesday that she now accepts for the first time the possibility that her former live-in boyfriend Shawn Adkins could be involved in the disappearance of her daughter.
After adamantly defending Adkins for two weeks, Billie Dunn said Tuesday that it is possible that Adkins had something to do with Hailey's disappearance.
She stressed, however, that no one knows for certain – and that she was not accusing him of anything.
"I never thought he would hurt Hailey, or had anything to do with this," Billie Dunn said, "until it was pounded in my head that that was a possibility. Nobody knows, though."
Dunn said she hasn't spoken to Adkins recently but occasionally communicates with him through text messages.
Billie Dunn also told KTXS that despite how the "Nancy Grace" show is portraying her in a negative light, Dunn will make another appearance on the show Tuesday night.
"Well, I have to," Billie Dunn said, "because I have to have Hailey's face national. So I'll go through hell and high water."
Billie Dunn said the program's accusations are unfounded, which described Dunn as not a credible witness because of a drug history.
"I don't have a drug history or present," Dunn said. "It's not a part of my life."
