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."
this broke late last night...I FUCKING WELL KNEW THAT MOTHER WAS DIRTY AND A LIAR!!! SO WHERE IS THAT CHILD? i hope they break and she is located today.
read carefully:
COLORADO CITY, Texas -- KTXS News has obtained documents that show startling facts into the investigation of missing 13-year-old Hailey Dunn that point to Hailey's mother Billie Jean Dunn and her former live-in boyfriend Shawn Adkins as being primary suspects.
Through the Freedom of Information Act, KTXS has received copies of affidavits that were filed by law enforcement officials for the purpose of securing search warrants to search for and seize evidence related to Hailey’s disappearance.
note: i hope to see affidavits released today.
The affidavits contain facts discovered by law enforcement officials and statements made by Billie Dunn, Adkins and others. In all, a total of six search warrants were issued by Mitchell County Judge Ray Mayo.
The information provided in the affidavits does not assign any guilt or innocence. They are used for investigative purposes only, but in being released to the public for the first time, they do provide explosive details about what law enforcement authorities have found.
Information in these summary statements comes directly from the affidavits:
– Adkins previously had threatened the lives of both Hailey Dunn and Billie Dunn in February 2010.
– Both Adkins and Billie Dunn apparently held an ongoing, intense fascination with horrific films and brutal crimes. Seized in a box in their bedroom were numerous documents, some fictional and some past crimes, that covered such topics such as serial killers, ax murders, sexual sadistic activities, the occult, sex and death topics, motives for murder and mass murderers – including the killing of family members.
– Billie Dunn and Adkins hosted a number of friends for a New Year’s Eve party at their home – just three days after Billie Dunn reported Hailey missing. Adkins downplayed the party, stating they just had a few friends over to the house to have drinks on New Year’s Eve.
– Billie Dunn volunteered to take a polygraph examination, but when she arrived, she was found to be “under the influence of narcotics,” and she was dismissed from the test at that time. On her second attempt, the investigators concluded there was “deception indicated.” After the examination, Billie Dunn was given the chance to discuss and explain “why she failed the examination.” Officials said she couldn't explain them, and she ended the interview by walking out.
– Adkins twice refused to take polygraph examinations. Then he agreed to a polygraph, but after providing some inconsistent information, he ended this polygraph by walking out. Officials said he failed the polygraph, particularly concerning the whereabouts of Hailey.
– During his polygraph examination, before walking out, Adkins provided some positive reaction about knowing where Hailey Dunn is. Indications were that Hailey may be in Scurry County.
– Adkins and Billie Dunn made two withdrawals of cash from an ATM machine in Snyder, in Scurry County, at about 6:20 p.m. on Dec. 27 totaling $140. They told investigators the money was for purchasing drugs.
– Numerous statements made by both Adkins and Billie Dunn, particularly Adkins, have been inconsistent, some with initial denials, then admissions, then changed statements.
On the night before Hailey’s disappearance, her 16-year-old brother, David, indicated that when he left the house at 9 p.m., Hailey was playing one of his video games in the living room in the house. Based on her skill level with the game, David said he expected her to play probably until midnight.
Adkins told authorities that on the day Hailey disappeared that Hailey was going to her father’s house, a block away, then on to a friend’s house. She never made it to either location.
Multiple witnesses told authorities that it was uncharacteristic for Hailey to be gone for long periods of time without checking in with her mother.
Law enforcement officials detailed what Hailey left behind at her home: a toothbrush, hairbrush, contact solution, a new MP3 player – and a jacket that friends say she would not have left home without.
The weather was cold outside, but Adkins said he last saw Hailey leaving without the jacket and the personal items.
Officials report that Hailey was well-familiar with the area and that it can be determined that she would not have gotten lost going to houses a few blocks away. No witnesses reported seeing Hailey walking on the date she was reported to have left her residence.
At one point during the polygraph examination of Adkins, he was asked whom investigators should “look at,” and officials said Adkins responded by saying “both of us,” referring to himself and Billie Dunn.
One inconsistency in Adkins’ statements involved his employment on Dec. 27. Adkins told investigators that he was fired that day, but authorities contacted the employer, who said that Adkins was a good employee and that he hadn’t been fired.
Nevertheless, Adkins left his place of employment at 6:10 a.m. on the morning of Dec. 27 and told investigators that he went straight to his mother’s house in Big Spring. However, cell phone records indicate that Adkins’ cell phone was in contact with cell towers in Scurry County from 6:35 a.m. until 6:56 a.m., during the time when he said he was traveling to Big Spring.
Billie Dunn left for work at 6:20 a.m. on Dec. 27, and authorities said her cell phone was also in contact with the same cell tower during the same time period.
In these early morning hours, authorities believe that Hailey was home alone at the Dunn residence in Colorado City.
On the afternoon of Dec. 27 at about 4 p.m., Hailey’s brother David returned home.
According to his father, Clint Dunn, David arrived about 4 p.m. and pounded on the front door for about five minutes, and no one would let him in the door.
David then let himself into the house through a window, where David said he saw Adkins in a hallway with a “deer in the headlights look.”
i emailed the news outlet to ask if they will release the affidavits today.
and i want to know what happened after the son David "said he saw Adkins in a hallway with a “deer in the headlights look.”
nancy grace has been handling this mother with kid gloves, A. it's all about ratings after all, and B. she just settled in melinda duckett/suicide lawsuit. she's been a bit more circumspect since then.
i thought the mother was lying each time i've seen her, my built-in lie detector was going crazy. i'll be shocked if she appears on the program again and doesn't lawyer up right away.
the father is a slow-witted drugged-out dolt IMO, but so far i think he's totally out of the loop as to what happened here.
somebody on the net has been soliciting funds to help the mother. i wonder about that too. i didn't like it when i first saw it. it smelled.
the bottom line is...where is Hailey?
Law enforcement is expected to hold a media briefing today at 4 p.m. central to update their investigation.
KTXS
COLORADO CITY, Texas -- Billie Dunn and Shawn Adkins apparently had an unusual, if not sordid, reading list.
During the investigation into the disappearance of 13-year-old Hailey Dunn, authorities confiscated 278 pages of material printed from websites about several lurid topics, from mass murder to sex and death.
Billie Dunn described the material as a "hobby."
According to affidavits secured by KTXS through the Freedom of Information Act, authorities found the materials in a box in the bedroom shared by Billie Dunn and Adkins.
The affidavits also detailed witness accounts who said that Adkins was fascinated by horror/slasher films, and it is reported that he is a collector of movie memorabilia connected to the “Halloween” movie series.
The reading material in the box, according to the affidavit, contained material that Billie Dunn told authorities she had printed from a computer at her job which she brought home.
The material included 23 pages of material printed on Sept. 1 that was related to the Edmund Kemper, the so-called "Co-ed Killer." Another 20 pages printed on the same date was related to female mass murders, major cases and murder motives.
Another 18 pages was related to George Emil Banks, who killed five of his own children and went on a broader killing spree.
Another 13 pages were printed on Sept. 25 about Robert Leroy Anderson, a serial killer and sexual sadist. Another 37 pages were printed related to Robert Pickton, a Canadian pig farmer, about mass murder and as many as 23 missing Vancouver women.
Other material in the box included a photo of a pentagram, and information about vampires and the occult.
Fifteen pages printed on Sept. 29 was material related to Alton Coleman and Debra Brown, a pair of killers in which Brown was painted as “a good girl gone bad” and incorporating sex and death.
Another 19 pages printed on the same day was related to the Princes in the Tower, murder of family members "who were pre-pubertal and premeditated suffocation in bed."
Other material included multiple pages of material associated with the rap group Insane Clown Posse.
In total, the box contained 278 pages of material that investigators thumbed through as part of the investigation of the missing 13-year-old Hailey Dunn, a Colorado Middle School eighth-grader missing since Dec. 27.
The affidavit also includes a statement from one of Hailey’s uncles, who was talking to Adkins about Hailey’s disappearance. The uncle said he could not believe that anyone would hurt a 13-year-old little girl.
The affidavit reports that Adkins replied, “Yah, it’s like killing a deer.”
The uncle recalled that Adkins often talked about how he kills deer, and then he would cut them up with a chainsaw.
There are a lot of people who have the serial killer obsession. I don't understand it. I can't watch slasher movies. I think they are for mildly retarded people.

you'll see a link to affidavit on home page news. very interesting reading. adkins claims Hailey was promiscuous, sexually active and into drug use.
Hailey's father, Clint Dunn, said today he is growing more fearful, after the information in the affidavits was released, that harm may have come to his daughter.
"I'm in shock," he said. "I don't want to believe that you could hurt her."

Wonder where she learned that?
Him saying that is just fucked up. Poor little girl having to live around trash like that.

i have my doubts that what adkins said about the girl was true. i don't know.
i would love to know what the mood in that small town is right now, the people gave of themselves wholeheartedly, and may end up feeling used and duped. and angry.
no arrests yet. but no body yet either.
i am looking forward to news conference at 4 central/5 eastern. i hope they tell us something concrete.
the father,clint, says he does not believe billie could have hurt their daughter. but he is probably in deep denial.
I'm so lucky that my parents love me & parented me in the proper fashion. After reading so many of these stories I still find it difficult to believe the extreme number of people who live the way they do. They have dirty little unproductive lives with not an ounce of fuckin' ambition or the desire to have more.
in last few minutes local scanner says a house near adkins grandma's was surrounded and a man came out and was arrested. that's ALL i know at the moment.
most important item so far is adkins is "not detained at this time." but he is an official 'person of interest now.'
presser pretty much pointless.
Sparky was asked if he thought adkins and billie know where Halley is, and he got a big shit-eating grin on his face and refused to answer. very telling.
There's alot going on in - Mom's nursing license revoked, Clint (Dad) busted for pot, the boyfriends slasher movie "obsession" as he calls it (Have you seen his postings/pics on the Michael Meyers fan site?
I had looked at Haileys facebook and myspace early on - there were some questionable postings about an enemy and a girl who thought Hailey was afraid of. Also a few things about hanging out at a motel all night etc seems there was not alot of supervision. I don't think that means she was a "bad" girl but I've seen a few people describe her as street smart and tough. For some reason I find it interesting that she is always described as a cheerleader but on her pages she lists softball, volleyball and track but not cheerleading.
Here is her quote on her about me page on FB:
My name is Hailey Dunn, I love my family, friends, music, and sports...I belive in God
Family is Gold and you can never replace them nomatter how hard yew try!! Friends are lyk Cigarettes, once you get done with them you can light another
the mother was on nancy grace again last night, w/o a lawyer still. she was not very credible to me. she's covering up something.
i wonder if she realizes all her comments/contradictions on TV can be used against her in court if it comes to that?
CBS7
Hailey's father continues to hold out hope and refuses to give up his search.
Clint Dunn is traveling across West Texas to spread the word about her disappearance.
He was in Odessa at the Music City Mall wednesday, talking with people, getting his own leads in the case and handing out fliers... All in hopes that he will find his daughter Hailey.
"This is my daughter and I'm looking for her," Dunn says as he hands a flier to a mall shopper.
He hasn't seen his daughter since the day after Christmas.
"I think we may have played a video game that morning and she left that day, I haven’t seen her since," he says.
He describes her as cheerful, the type that would make everyone laugh and he doesn't believe that she would have run away.
"This is so out of character of her to run away that's why this gets more scary everyday," he believes.
But he's not putting the blame on Hailey's mother and her boyfriend.
"I'm scared everybody's looking at Shawn and Billie Jean too closely," he says. WTF...they have to go where the evidence takes them. i feel sorry for the guy. he's not too bright and in denial. but he's the only family member trying to be proactive in search.
That's why he's looking elsewhere.
"I don’t want to put them up on a pedestal and let the person get away with my child,” he says "I have to just focus on finding my daughter."
"My little girls out there and somebody’s got her, and I just want her back."
Clint says he will spend thursday in Odessa, then move on to Midland and Big Spring before heading back home.
"Police believe after talking with two girls about missing Hailey Dunn, that she is alive and hiding.
Sparky Dean, Senior Dept. of Public Safety Trooper met with the two sixth grade students who were seen with Hailey Dunn, 13, the missing cheerleader, around the 200 block of Manuel Street in Colorado City, Texas.
The two girls came to the attention of authorities after they received a tip that they were with Hailey around the time of her disappearance. After questioning the two girls again, Dean is confident that Hailey is alive and in hiding.
This new information leads to whether Billie Dunn's boyfriend actually was the last person to have seen Hailey.
Also, Dean spoke with local TV station KTXS last Firday and said that no one has been told if they passed or failed the polygraph test contradicting what Hailey's mother Billie Dunn said on the Nancy Grace show."

I post this knowing that no one agrees. I'm giving the Mom the benefit of doubt. *shrug* I won't take the time to explain why I feel that way because it will just be blah, blah, blah to everyone who is convinced of her guilt.
i know this thread is lengthy and a lot gets skimmed over. i reported that Sparky said a couple days ago they do NOT in fact think she's in hiding or a runaway anymore. the "news" changes hourly and it's a job to keep up with developments.
i don't think the mother helped kill the kid. but i do think she's covering up shit and may have helped dispose of her. i think the mother put her boyfriend before her child. she's also a crappy liar.
it's only right to give her the benefit of the doubt Duchess. at this time.
I would like to hear more from Hailey's friends, teachers, and coaches. They usually know more than fucked up parents. Did Hailey have a boyfriend?
