HAILEY DUNN, 13, missing/killed --Texas
#1
i am just hearing about this case. will add more as i get it.

COLORADO CITY, Texas -- Officials with the city of Colorado City tell KTXS News that the reward has been upped from $10,000 to $25,000 for the return of missing teen Hailey Dunn.

The city manager of Colorado City also told our crew on the scene that the city has three times asked that an Amber Alert to be issued, but the request has been denied three times.

Dunn was last seen Dec. 27. The Colorado Middle School student told her mother's boyfriend she was spending the night at a friend's house. However, she did not spend the night there, and she hasn't been seen since.

If anyone has any information on her whereabouts, they are to contact the Colorado City Police Department at 325-728-5294.



Hailey Dunn: Texas cheerleader goes missing, considered 'endangered missing'

COLORADO CITY, Texas -- Hailey Dunn is a 13-year-old Colorado City, Texas, middle-school cheerleader who went missing walking to a friend’s house in broad daylight at 1 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 27.

Scroll down for a description of Hailey, and the tipline phone number.

Fliers can be found just about everywhere in Colorado City, Texas, where Hailey lived before her disappearance.

According to Radio Owner Jim Buam, there are not many runaways in Colorado City. "It is so uncommon to have a runaway in Colorado City and I suspect this is true in other smaller towns. So, as much as we could put her name, her weight, her description and her height and weight and phone number of the mother, then that's what we did."

Everyone in town is worried about the missing teen who vanished after walking to a friend’s house. “To tell you, this is the first time, and I’ve been here 30 years, that we’ve had a runaway like this. It’s so uncommon,” Baum said.

Initially people believed Hailey had run away. Now, they’re just not sure. Her mother and friends say she is a happy girl. She took nothing with her the day she disappeared.

As of Sunday, no Amber Alert had been issued because police did not believe Hailey met with foul play. According to an article posted Friday on the Colorado City Record website, Bivins said his department considers Hailey a runaway. “That’s what the evidence shows at this time,” Bivins said.

But as the days since her disappearance pass, concern continues to grow.

“To me, I think it’d be more than just considered runaway,” Mitchell County Sheriff Patrick Toombs told the Reporter-News on Sunday night. His agency has interviewed several of Hailey’s classmates to help Colorado City police. Toombs said Texas Rangers also have assisted in the case.

While Toombs said his agency was only assisting Colorado City, Hailey’s disappearance remains a mystery, he said.

“It’s really unknown,” Toombs said. He said he wasn’t aware that anything has been ruled out, calling some sort of abduction or coercion “still a possibility.”

“But, right now, we have not been able to confirm or deny that, of how she disappeared from town,” Toombs said.

However, the Mitchell County community, Baum said, is gravely concerned for the teen’s safety.

“The people who knew her and her character do not believe she’d just take off and run away,” he said. “It doesn’t fit.

“They feel like there is foul play.”

Baum said Hailey’s mother became alarmed about her daughter’s whereabouts when she did not return home Tuesday.

“It just wasn’t like her” to vanish, Baum said. “She is real popular with her teachers and with those she goes to school with.”

Interim Police Chief John Bivins told Colorado City radio station KVMC/KAUM that Hailey intended to spend the night with her friend the day she went missing.

“Officers are working this as a missing person’s investigation and we are pursuing leads night and day to find Hailey,” Colorado City Police Chief, John Bivins, said. “We will not rest until Hailey is found.”

Multiple agencies have joined in the search, including the Colorado City Police, Snyder Police, Mitchell County Sheriff’s deputies, Texas Rangers, and the District Attorney’s Office.

They are now calling her case a missing person’s case. Her parents are beginning to fear the worst.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children lists her disappearance as “Endangered Missing.”

“There’s a chance somebody abducted her,” Hailey’s mother Billie Jean said. “That’s in the back of my mind because of the fact that she didn’t take anything and because this is so out of character. I’m pretty terrified of that.”

Baum said, “First couple of days for sure a runway. Next several days you stop and think and now after a week as a parent myself, I worry it’s not a runaway,” Baum said.

Description:

Name: Hailey Dunn
Age: 13
Height: 5’1”
Eyes: Hazel
Hair: Brown
Last seen: 12/27/2010
From: 1804 Chestnut Street, Colorado City, Texas

Note: Last seen wearing navy blue sweat pants, a short sleeved light colored T-shirt, and flip flops. She has pierced ears and was wearing red hoop earrings. Her left upper ear is pierced.

If you have any information about Hailey’s disappearance, or saw anything suspicious the days surrounding her disappearance, police are asking you call them at 325-728-5294

COLORADO CITY, TX (KCBD) - The search continues for a missing Colorado City girl. Texas Rangers and national media are now involved in the hunt for 13-year-old Hailey Dunn. She has been missing for more than a week.

Authorities were initially considering this a possible runaway case. Yesterday Colorado City police held a press conference and said that they were now considering Hailey a missing person.

Colorado City police, Mitchell County Sheriffs, Snyder police and Texas Rangers are all involved in the investigation.

Dunn was last seen leaving her house on December 27th around 3 p.m. Her mother's boyfriend says she was headed to her father's house and then to her friend Mary Beth's home just 5 blocks away. She never made it.

Authorities have been in meetings for the last two days following leads to get answers on what happened to the young girl.

"Texas Rangers are finally involved. I'm very happy about that, and I hope Colorado City Police Department isn't too proud to accept help from larger cities who may have some more experience or can give some insight, can come in and take a look and see that maybe, just anything simple hadn't been done yet," said Hailey's mother Billie Jean.

Colorado City City Manager Pete Kampfer told us both Hailey's father and friend Mary Beth said they weren't expecting a visit from Hailey. Police have not named any suspects as of Tuesday.

Hailey Dunn disappeared without a trace until bloodhounds searched the area. Officials say the dogs picked up her scent near the Western Suites off Interstate 20. Even though the dogs responded strongly to the area, there was no sign of Hailey. She was last seen with her mother's boyfriend.

Investigators say Hailey's mother's boyfriend could not take a polygraph because he was on prescription drugs. They may retest him


Billie Dunn said her boyfriend, Shawn Adkins, was the last person to see Hailey, who reportedly was last seen at 3:15 p.m. Dec. 27. he just lost his job that day.

Adkins, who lives with Billie Dunn, Hailey, and Billie’s 16-year-old son, reportedly said Hailey told him she was going to stop by her father’s house, which is in walking distance of their home, and then was planning to spend the night with a friend.

the cell phones of mother and her boyfriend have been taken by police.

Kampfer (below) did not address what was "inaccurate".
but mother did appear slow and lethargic in her replies. i think she's worried her boyfriend is involved.


KTXS COLORADO CITY, Texas -- The search for missing Colorado City eighth-grader Hailey Dunn made the national media on Tuesday night.

Hailey was featured on the HNL Network national cable show "Nancy Grace." The show devoted an entire hour to the case of the 13-year-old Dunn, who disappeared on Dec. 27.

Grace spoke to experts about missing children’s cases and grilled Hailey’s mother, Billie, and her father, Clint Dunn.

Billie Dunn told Grace that bloodhounds were used over the weekend and that the dogs may have tracked Hailey’s scent to a local motel.

Authorities then searched the rooms at the motel and the motel security camera footage, but no other evidence was obtained.

Colorado City Manager Pete Kampfer told KTXS that the Grace segment was “sensationalized” and that there were several inaccuracies aired on the show.

Officials confirmed Wednesday that Shawn Adkins, the boyfriend of Hailey’s mother, has been administered a polygraph test. He was reportedly the last person who saw Hailey before she disappeared on Dec. 27.

Officials also confirmed that Hailey’s home is being searched Wednesday for any clues that may have been missed earlier.

The search was being conducted by the Texas Rangers, who searched the home and spent 10 minutes in an outdoor storage shed.

Damn. Signs_173 If nothing else, there's a lesson in there to ALWAYS confirm with the other parents when your child says they're going over for a sleepover.

I wonder how the boyfriends polygraph will come out.

Searchers from Texas Department of Criminal Justice Wallace/Ware units were out on horseback and foot today looking for possible clues to the disappearance of Hailey Dunn.

TDCJ officers searched a heavily wooded area on the western edge of town Wednesday morning, January 5, according to TDCJ Warden Matt Kennolly.

The search along the Colorado River continued after lunch on foot along Colorado City's southern edge from the prison to Business I-20 toward town.

The search was made at the request of the Texas Rangers, who are working with local law enforcement agencies.

at about 8:00pm, Hailey’s older brother David told our CBS 7 crew that Shawn had refused to take two polygraph tests Wednesday.

David says that Shawn signed the paperwork to take a third but then refused to take it and left the building.

According to David, the Dunn family and police had not seen Shawn since that last polygraph refusal.

Hailey’s two uncles corroborated that story but police are not releasing information about any polygraph tests at this time.

Hailey’s uncle Dale says he took a polygraph test and passed it and added that Billie may have taken one Wednesday night as well.

As of 8:00pm Wednesday night, Billie Jean Dunn was not at her home and her family believed she was in downtown Colorado City with law enforcement authorities.


Hailey Dunn’s mother, Billie Jean Dunn, right, is escorted by Colorado City police to the Mitchell County Courthouse on Wednesday.

i've thought all along that poor girl is probably dead.
reports conflict about whether boyfriend took the polygraph. (see above post)

BigCountry.com:
Colorado City, TX— Hailey Dunn's mother says a handful of people connected to her family were told by authorities that they failed polygraph tests that have been administered over the last few days.

Billie Dunn wasn't prepared to name names. However, she told KTAB's Priscilla Luong she and her family's frustration is beginning to mount.

According to Billie Dunn, her boyfriend Shawn Adkins did take a polygraph test. After the test, he did not return to the home he shares with Billie Dunn.

Sources tell KTAB News he is not in custody and authorities are aware of his whereabouts.

Hailey’s older brother, David Dunn, told KTAB's Priscilla Luong earlier in the day Thursday that Adkins had refused to take the first two polygraph tests Wednesday. According to the Dunn family, Adkins eventually took the test.

Wednesday afternoon, Billie Dunn was asked to go to the law enforcement center in town. Dunn tells KTAB News she was interrogated for nearly 12 hours and is "exhausted."

The Texas Rangers have yet to confirm or deny these developments being reported by family members.


The Texas Department of Criminal Justice search guards and dogs did a "grid search" overnight, even scouring the riverbeds.

Colorado City officials confirm Texas Rangers have heard that Hailey’s mother's boyfriend, Shawn Adkins, has skipped town. It has not been confirmed by officials that he has skipped polygraph testing.

A Texas Department of Public Safety helicopter is expected to fly over the skies of Colorado City Thursday as crews continue their search for 13-year-old Hailey Dunn.

Colorado City's city manager tells KTAB's Priscilla Luong a ground search conducted by Texas Department of Criminal Justice guards has ended. The crews search on horseback and foot.

According to the Colorado City Record, the search took place along the Colorado River along Colorado City's southern edge from the prison to Business I-20 toward town.

The search was made at the request of the Texas Rangers, who are working with local law enforcement agencies.

Maybe they should charge the natural parent with neglect if they bring a dangerous person into the home. People would think twice about shacking up with anybody who is willing to do them and think about the safety of their kids instead.

rumors have been rampant all over facebook and tweets, mainly that her body was found a couple hours ago. not true.
the police REALLY should have had a presser in this case to dispel all that and provide FACTS. they have been remiss in not having a presser. there are 9 agencies involved, surely they could have found a spokesperson/media liaison.
the mother is scheduled to be on HLN nancy grace at 8 PM (shortly) if you care to listen to her comments and form an opinion.

WHAT??? nancy just said the mom failed the polygraph!

my comment...polygraphs can be affected by many factors. there is a reason they are not admissable in court. but i'm still shocked.

ok mom is on. she says she has no faith in polygraph. and was on anti-anxiety med. avatan. and she asked boyfriend to leave after he failed. until child is found.

oh shit. the mom met the boyfriend on myspace. i don't know how long before he moved in.

mom is being very frank and open, to the point where i think she needs to shut up and lawyer up. naive country girl.


edit to add, mom says she knew boyfriend for 2 years before he moved in.

i suggested this on post #3 a couple days ago, i don't know why they have not been called in. i realize there are 9 agencies involved, and maybe the Texas Rangers don't want civilian interference, but obviously what is needed is more boots on the ground. these people know how to do a proper search w/o screwing up possible evidence.


Members of the elite Texas Equusearch recovery team tell bigcountryhomepage.com they're aware of and watching the case involving missing Colorado City teen Hailey Dunn.

TES has been involved in some of the most high profile missing persons cases including that of missing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway.

Most recently, the group helped located the body of Houston-area 12-year-old Jonathan Foster after he was allegedly abducted.

TES members tell us they've been following Dunn's case but have not been contacted by law enforcement. The group says it gets involved in a case when it's asked to do so by law enforcement or the family of the missing person.

When asked whether they'd be willing to help search for Dunn if contacted by the authorities, bigcountryhomepage.com was told "we'd sure try."

TES is known for being able to deploy on short notice resources such as radar, sonar, scuba diving or SAR dog teams, and vehicles ranging from all-terrain vehicles to boats to aircraft to remotely operated vehicles.

Texas Equusearch is a non-profit group that operates on donations. The services of TES don't cost taxpayers or law enforcement agencies.

this is nuts. no Texas Equusearch, yet anybody who shows up? a bunch of untrained civilians can destroy evidence w/o realizing it.

COLORADO CITY, Texas -- Residents in Colorado City are being asked to join the search for missing teenager Hailey Dunn.

According to a local radio station, residents are being asked to gather at the Mitchell County Courthouse in Colorado City at 2 p.m. to create search parties.

It sounded like they told her he failed his poly minuted before giving her hers and the emotion of hearing he failed is what skewed hers. I also took from NG that the local police weren't calling anyone else in because they initially felt it was a runaway case. The parents called the Texas Rangers 3 times directly asking them to join the investigation -
