Hailey Dunn’s Mom and Boyfriend in Spotlight
KTXS.com has received copies of affidavits for search warrants in the case of missing Hailey Dunn, and what they found doesn’t look good for Hailey’s mom and boyfriend. In the affidavits, it states that Shawn Adkins had threatened the lives of both Billie and her daughter Hailey before. The affidavits also confirm that both Billie Dunn and her boyfriend, Shawn Adkins, failed the polygraph (though I don’t put much weight in polygraphs).
Apparently, both Adkins and Dunn were also intensely fascinated with brutal crimes and horror films. From KTXS.com, “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.”
You can more here at KTXS.com and here.
Thanks, Jade, for the story update.

Jared Lee Loughner: Prior Inappropriate Behavior
The tragedy in Arizona is heart wrenching, but I think there is a valuable learning lesson we can all take from this horrible situation. People in this video speak out about how Loughtner behaved inappropriately–eerily laughing at inappropriate times. This is key. We so often explain inappropriate behavior away–giving people the benefit of the doubt. This is a dangerous thing to do. More people need to take notice and band together when they see inappropriate behavior.
I am a firm believe that as a society we have become so politically correct that we have lost touch with reality. We are afraid to speak the truth. When we see something inappropriate, we are all scared to speak up and say so publicly for fear of being shunned. Hence we retreat, and allow these people free license to continue in their out-of-bound behavior, which can become out of control.
While I do not advocate confronting a person who is acting inappropriate, I do think more of us should reach out to those who may have influence on people like this, such as family members, to get them to seek help. If enough people did this, it might have spurred on Loughner’s parents to take more appropriate steps to see if there was anything that could be done for their son before it was too late.
We need to stop being so politically correct. I believe it is an ill of society that is causing us more detriment than good. What do you think?
Do you feel safe to speak out against someone’s inappropriate behavior? Or do you feel you will be shunned?
BTW: This photo on the post (for the video) was reported to be his mug shot. I can’t imagine…
Trooper on Hailey Dunn: “Family not forthcoming”
DPS Senior Trooper Sparky Dean said to BigCountryHomepage.com about the Hailey Dunn case yesterday, “The family has not been forthcoming. Their discernment of the truth continues to change. Very frustrating.”
My Opinion
I know many of you have stated that you believe and trust Hailey’s mom. I have watched Billie Dunn, Hailey’s mom, speak about her missing daughter, and I have not been able to come to any conclusions. At this point, I am perplexed by her lack of emotions in the videos I have watched regarding her daughter. Until I can make sense of it one way or another, I will remain neutral and undecided.
Please continue to provide video links of the family members speaking out. If I can come to a conclusion, I will promise you that you all will be the first to know.
