Day 19: Searchers Refuse to Give Up Hope to Find Hailey

Colorado City, TX -   One day after learning Shawn Adkins has been named a suspect in the disappearance of Hailey Dunn, volunteers say they refuse to give up their search to bring the 13-year-old back to Colorado City alive.

On Friday, images of investigators sifting through trash at an Abilene landfill in connection with the investigation painted a grim picture. Law enforcement tells bigcountryhomepage.com cadaver dogs got two "hits" at Allied Waste Services. Though law enforcement wouldn't discuss what the "hits" were, it doesn't appear any remains were uncovered. Authorities now say the search at that specific landfill has ended.

Adkins, the boyfriend of Hailey's mother, has been holed up in home in the town of Dunn since failing a polygraph exam last week. He, along with other persons of interest in the case, is under 24-7 surveillance by law enforcement.

Though authorities have labeled Adkins a suspect, he has not been arrested. Colorado City's City Manager Pete Kampfer said law enforcement likely needs to discover more evidence before charging him with a crime.

On Saturday, volunteer searchers plan to gather outside the home where Adkins is staying for a short time. Volunteers have been doing this almost daily. Those involved in the search tell KTAB's Victor Sotelo they walk near the home to "make their presence felt."

Holly Jenkins is one of the searchers who has devoted her time to trying to find Hailey.

"Shawn's across the street watching us," said volunteer searcher Holly Jenkins. "I just have this motherly intuition."

Jenkins is from Midland and vows to stay searching in the community of Dunn until Hailey is found. Freda Radcliff is also involved in the efforts to find the missing girl.

"I'm not feeling to well about the mother or the boyfriend right now," Radcliff told KTAB's Tiffany Tatro earlier this week. "I think it's going to be a horrible outcome," said Radcliff. "The fact that she said she could be found in Scurry County and that they should be looking at both of them. They've done something to her."

Despite her gut feeling, Radcliff says she and other searchers will still focus on their mission.

"I'm here for Hailey. That's the only person that I'm here for," said Radcliff.

"She's a little girl who needs all of us," added Jenkins. "We all should be out here helping."

On Friday, Hailey's mother, Billie Dunn, said she doesn't know if Adkins is involved in her daughter's disappearance. For the first time, she directly addressed her boyfriend.

"Shawn, if you have nothing to hide, I really wish you would talk to he investigators and would get this cleared up," she said.

Officials now say the information that leads to Hailey's safe return is $15,000. They previously estimated much higher at $25,000.

Hailey doesn't look to happy in this picture to me ......wonder when it was taken?

Has any fellow employee of BD come forward to back her as an honest hardworking single mom ?

Flipping through my album ... many of the photos reveal kids with attitudes.  Many reveal kids that look happy but ... were told to "smile".

A photo is a poor indication as to the well-being of a child.  It reveals a moment in time.

However ... the lack of photos that have emerged of Hailey Dunn does concern me somewhat.

Billie Dunn was employed full time ... worked long hours.  She was not lazy.

Billie may have believed she loved her children but based on what has been revealed David and Hailey's well being was not a priority ... was not a focus.  Shawn and their own lifestyle was where it was at.

I would like to know about family activities. Did they go on family outings? Picnics? Family reunions? Rodeos? Movies? Did the family attend functions where Hailey was a cheerleader? Was Billie a volunteer or a member of the PTO? Someone said she was a friend of Hailey's in the FFA. Did the family attend the events? Were there family trips to go skating, to the fair, or horseback riding? Was there mother and daughter shopping trips? We have heard very little of Hailey's day to day life. We know a child is missing, that she seemed like a very sweet girl, and was very cute. When mom and boyfriend were partying, who was looking after Hailey and her brother?

I wasn't calling her lazy. I was just inquiring if any of her fellow employees had come forward on her behalf.

trying to catch up here..who has a family member missing?
I thought that I read that perhaps it was Corey's relative? who is a friend of Shawn's? is that right? and if so....is anyone looking at Shawn in that disappearance now since he is a suspect in Hailey's disappearance?  or did I really really misread that badly in my hurry to catch up? sorry if I am mistaken....

o/t Searching..really good to see you here! have missed you...xxx

It is Corey's sister. She has been missing since November.

COOKIE, Her name is Allison Norwood. I don't know her age. The family lives in Lovington, NM. I had a feeling about Shawn when I read it too, but I have seen nothing to connect him to it.

I am more curious about how Shawn's black shirt arm turns the color of Billie's jacket after it drapes around her neck than I am Hailey's attitude in the pic (although it sounds like Hailey didn't care for Shawn).

See what I mean?

I think that his arm is just under her arm with just his hand coming out..

Missed you too Cookie  Corey is the cousin and IIRC is in the videos with Shawn. Corey's sister is said to have run away in November.

I agree, the arm pit of her jacket is covering his sleeve/arm up making it look as though Billie has an extra arm.

RE: Billie's job.

Was a licensed nurse until two years ago.
Do we know why she lost her license?  Did she do something wrong or not keep up with education hours or didn't have money to renew license or didn't renew timely (as you can see by my questions, I really don't know anything about nurse's licenses).
Do we know where she worked as a nurse?  Is it the same facility that she's now working as a secretary?  TIA
