This facebook page had some very interesting comments and statements about Billie Dunn. Stating SHE was the one in fact that killed her daughter, after finding Sean and Hailey having sex.

The comments are CRAZY, and worth a look! I do not know how much of any of this is true, BUT an interesting read without a doubt!

That blog is where I found what he said about Billie, but the article is no longer there. So makes me wonder how true it actually is.

OBVIOUSLY, with the way these two are acting they BOTH had part in this murder. The details will come out eventually.

Hailey Dunn Memorial: Sunday, 5 /19

From KTXS: Set for Sunday at 3 pm at Colorado City Middle School gym, the memorial service for slain Colorado City teen Hailey Dunn will be shown live on THIS TV and the CW.

Thanks so much for the links imsuchawildflower and LytoMe.

There's a lot of drama, threats and shit flinging back and forth. I hope the service will be peaceful tomorrow.

Can't find a word about the status of the investigation, anywhere. I bet LE will be in attendance at the memorial though. For security and to watch the behavior of some of those in attendance.

MEMORIAL COVERAGE

@imsuchawildflower or any case followers: have you seen anything to indicate whether or not Papa Clint Dunn attended and/or spoke at the service? TIA. ETA: Just saw a quick video clip. Clint was there; don't think he spoke.



From Reporter News
COLORADO CITY — With a throng of journalists recording every move, residents in this town of about 4,500 people came together Sunday afternoon to honor the life of 13-year-old Hailey Darlene Dunn, whose remains were found in March after she was reported missing Dec. 28, 2010.

More than 350 people of various ages and dress came to Colorado Middle School, where Hailey was an eighth-grader, cheerleader, athlete and band member.

Based on the memories teachers, friends, family and others shared, Hailey made an indelible mark on those around here.

“She was crazy,” said Kathryn Willburn of Hailey, who the current seventh-grader knew through sleepovers at friend Heather Ruth’s house. “She’d always make us laugh. She was random. She’d come up with the funniest things that weren’t even part of the conversation. She knew what she wanted and she’d say it to a person.”

Although she was escorted in and out of the funeral, Hailey’s mother, Billie Jean Dunn, talked about her daughter twice only through recorded video presentations.

“Hailey, I love you and will see you again,” Billie Dunn said. “And, until I see you again, I’ll think of you every day.”
====================================================
WTF?

Mama Billie Jean attended, but only spoke via pre-recorded messages? Might that be because she continues to incriminate herself in attempting not to incriminate herself every time she opens her lying* mouth or makes a post? Attorney Young's advice?

*Note: for those newer to the case, Billie Jean Dunn was arrested and convicted of lying to police (she attempted to hide the Person of Interest in her daughter's disappearance when police came to her house with a search warrant).

There is a serious problem if a parent is only speaking through pre-recorded messages at their murdered child's memorial service.

It floored me. Clint didn't speak either though and I believe that he was cleared of involvement early on by LE.

She was "escorted" in and out of the service. Probably in relation to alleged threats that were discussed on some of the Facebook pages.

Anyway, now that the memorial has ended, hoping to see some arrest warrants issued soon. If Billie or her attorney think/know that she may be charged soon, it could explain only short scripted statements. I don't know that to be the reason, just speculating.

[imsuchawildflower]

I just cant wrap my mind around Billie Jean.
I hope she goes down and soon.

Is it possible that the wait time on LE releasing the body would be if they found dna possibly? I know the body was decomposed pretty badly but what if there was a slight chance that she happened to have gotten some dna under the fingernails and it stayed there. DNA can take a while can't it? Or i hate to say it but what if it was in the mouth or something in the stomach? would that be something that would be able to trace?

I had been reading this thread for so long and haven't checked in for a while. I am glad that her remains have finally been found as i felt for a while that she has been dead. I wish that it wasn't the end result but the likely-hood of it being the other way just wasn't likely. I hope you rest in peace sweet angel, Hailey Dunn!

[Cheyne]

I don't want to be too graphic, but if Hailey's remains were skeletal there wouldn't be a stomach or the fleshy part of the mouth or under the fingernails to take DNA from. A human body outside in the elements for 28 months would most likely not have any flesh left at all. Bones, teeth and hair would remain. There might be a very slim chance that DNA could have come from the sweatpants found with/on the body.

There could also be marks, holes etc... on the sweatpants that show where a weapon was used. It's a long shot, but possible.

I think that LE is consolidating their case against both Shawn and Billie. The fact that Shawn (and his lawyer) has made no comment might mean that he is dealing with LE now to avoid the DP or cut some kind of reduced sentence deal. If LE had a confession from Shawn that implicates Billie in the murder, they might deal for 25 years for Shawn. As a man in his 20's, he'd at least see daylight again before his 60^th birthday.

I think they killed Hailey together, that Billie had as much a part in it as Shawn. While I think Shawn is a murdering scumbag that deserves at least LOP, I think Billie deserves the DP for her role in her own daughter's murder. All IMO of course.

I really hope that this is what's going down now, Cheyne.

Not a peep from Adkins in ages, and now Billie's statements are short and scripted.

It's long past due that Hailey Dunn gets some justice; have a sense that it's coming...

P.s. If Hailey's remains give investigators evidence to help nail her killer(s), it would be extra sweet.

Case Update

It's been six years since Hailey Dunn went missing and over 3 years since her remains were found. LE refuses to release her remains to her mother, Billie Dunn.

Billie Dunn's ex-boyfriend, Shawn Adkins (who Billie continued to shack-up with and defend even after he was named a suspect by local LE and his story didn't add up) remains the prime suspect. However, no arrest has been made.

Billie has broken up with Adkins and says that since she learned the FBI suspects him, she also suspects he killed her daughter. She says she hates him.

Hailey's dad, Clint Dunn, is so heart-broken and makes no bones about the fact that he thinks Shawn killed his daughter; all evidence points to him. He also is no longer buying Billies account/behavior when he reflects on the case. He thinks she had some involvement.

[HairOfTheDog]

A good quick overview of the case and new interviews with Billie and Clint Dunn are featured in the Crime Watch Daily videos below.





Hoping LE gets what they need to make an arrest(s) this year.

[Duchess]

Six years. Holy shit.

[HairOfTheDog]

Six years. Holy shit.

I hope 2017 is the year the responsible person(s) are held accountable. This news release from late last night makes me optimistic that arrests might be on the horizon.

COLORADO CITY -- On Monday Hailey Dunn’s remains were finally returned to her family after being discovered nearly four years ago.

CBS 7 News has learned that the Scurry County District Attorney’s Office has officially taken over the case, led by Sgt. John McDaniels.

McDaniels wouldn't go into detail about what they found off Hailey's remains, but did say there was evidence of trauma.

As for a suspect, he says Shawn Adkins, Hailey’s mom’s ex-boyfriend, remains a person of interest, but other leads have come in recently that point to other possible persons of interest.

However, their office isn't ready to release who those might be.

McDaniels wants everyone to know that they are still actively investigating Hailey's murder and have never deemed it a cold case.

That's good to read. I think there are probably a few threads in this particular forum that I have forgotten about simply because there is no new news. Now I'm thinking about the case of several family members killed at different locations during the same night. All those crime scenes and apparently nothing to build a case on, nothing to be used to search for the killer.

There are a lot of cases which are either cold or being held so close to LE's vest that there's nothing to report, that's true. It's always frustrating waiting and hoping for answers and justice.

The Rhoden family murders is the case you remember. There's nothing new to report on the case itself. There is only news related to some surviving family members' requests for state compensation, http://www.dispatch.com/news/20170121/st...her-rhoden

Hailey Dunn's remains were released to her mother last week and she was buried on Sunday. RIP.



LE indicated that Shawn Adkins, the mother's boyfriend, is still the only named person of interest, but they're looking into other possible POIs as well.

Hailey's devastated father still believes that Adkins killed his daughter and now believes that Hailey's mom Billie Jean Dunn had some involvement.

Clint was not invited to Hailey's funeral, he found out about it on Facebook. He has never been a POI, searched high and low for Hailey before her remains were located, and wants justice for his girl sooner than later, he says.

Clint is no longer holding back about his suspicions, as evidenced by his interview here: https://victimsnewsonline.com/2017/01/ha...r-present/

Wow. Didn't even get to go to her funeral. That's pretty fucked up.
