Peter Hyatt affirms the claims of Billie and Shawn that there was not child porn on the memory stick.  Sheriff Patrick Toombs need to have a his facts straight prior to releasing info to the media.

I'm wondering if any of those people know what the heck they're doing at this point, seriously.  It's making me very upset for Hailey watching them keystone-cop around sometimes.

Can investigators determine who downloaded all that child porn that was found on the computer seized from the home of Shawn's mother?

CHILD PORN

Hailey Dunn: Transcript: Shawn Adkins: Blog Talk Radio Interview March 3


Host: What do you say to the allegations about child pornography?

Shawn Adkins: I was shocked when I heard about it. Like I said, I had a hard time believing it. I still do. I don’t wanna believe that that type of stuff is on my mother’s computer. All I know is that I did not put them there, and I had no knowledge about it, and neither did my mother or my brother.

Host: Who do you think put ‘em on there?

Shawn Adkins: I have no idea. There’s been so many people use that computer, it’d be hard to say. I know it wasn’t me, my mother, or my brother.
 
Host: Does anyone come to mind?

Shawn Adkins: A couple of people.

Host: Could you say who they are?

Shawn Adkins: I, I’d really choose not to say who they are at this moment.

Hailey Dunn: Transcript: Shawn Adkins: Blog Talk Radio Interview March 3

<snipped>

Host: Who has access to that computer?

Shawn Adkins: Oh, there’s many people. I’m saying ten plus people have had access to that computer. A bunch of people have.

/sigh  I probably shouldn't say that, just having a bad day.  One of my two very old cats passed away today.  Granted, it was in her sleep, she was doing great, and even had been getting lots of lap time lately (rare of her to want it - I think she knew she didn't have much time left).  So I'm just ..... caught somewhere between wanting to cry and wanting to find a punching bag. Razz

Then I come on and read that things are changing on the child porn, and now we've said all this stuff based on what was supposed to be a fact given publicly by an official spokesperson for the LE on a news outlet.  So *I* feel guilty for saying things about it.  And then hearing new DA confirmations but I feel reluctant to believe anything anymore because it feels like I get good and worked up, and really hurt over this stuff, just to find out that the facts are always changing.

On Peter Hyatt's show tonight he said two things that I found interesting.

1.  Peter said that the DA confirmed to him that the 3:00-3:15 story
(where Shawn said that he last saw Hailey going to her Dad's and then
MB's to spend the night) was a story first invented by Billie and not by Shawn.

2.  The DA told Peter that all of his other information was correct except
there was no child porn found on the memory stick in Billie's dresser.

Well, that frees BD up from going to jail for cp.  I wonder if they'll still nail SA for it.

I'm a little perplexed about the DA verifying stuff.. it seems weird to me, not that I'm doubting it.  I don't see how PH would be able to say this stuff without the DA coming out immediately and saying elsewise if it were anything but true.

I agree.  I keep giving the investigators the benefit of the doubt that dots are being connected behind the scenes which imply that Shawn's arrest is imminent.  However ... as time goes by and nothing is happening ....

 

I hope everybody had a good Sunday.  I did but ... I am wiped.  It is sooo good to be home.  The peace and quiet of just hubby and me puttering around the house is wonderful.  I must be getting old.

Good Night All

starwynn ~ I am very sorry for your loss. Pet or human, if u are kind hearted, NORMAL, and love the pet, it hurts.I feel for u, I have been there.

As for the memory stick with no child porn on it ? What the heck ? Something is twisted here. Who got a wire crossed ? IF there is no child porn on there, then where is it ? Perhaps the DA meant that there was NO child porn on it, featuring Hailey ?

I agree that it's wierd.  Is the DA consulting with Peter?  Has Peter become the
spokesperson for LE?  Strange.

Peter is NOT a spokesperson for LE.   Peter's recent contact with LE was thru BTHN and their ongoing contact.   I have to leave it there for now but will readdress it shortly & it will have clarity then.

I may be wrong but I think I wasn't answered quite a while back when I asked this question...the MySpace page of the young Adkins kid (can't rem his name)mentioned on here early on has a couple blurbs about Hailey and when she went missing.  What I wanted someone to look at was where he posted, this is not verbatim, he posts about Hailey missing and then something like "Hailey please come home, I talked to your Mom and she's not mad".  Does anyone recall if we know what he meant or if someone that knows him asked?  Tater, maybe you could help on this one?  TIA to anyone who can enlighten my few brain cells.  Gotta go to work soon and ain't likin' the new time!

I seem to remember something like that being said by a friend of Hailey's too. I think it was just intended in case she did run away because LE treated it like a runaway case in the beginning. In the mind of those friends/teens it could have been hard to grasp or accept that maybe something else could have happened.


Well Tater I went back to look so I could post exactly what was said and who I was talking about and presto...any mention of Hailey is gone!  It is SA's little brother, Tyler Adkins FB page and not MySpace I saw it on and it was around Dec. 27, 28, or 29 that he said that on.  Did someone here screen cap it?  Not that it was that important but I wanted to know why he was saying to Hailey that her Mom wasn't mad now? 

Yes it's been gone a while. A friend of Hailey's also said something like, Come home Hailey, your Mom isn't mad.
I am pretty sure they were saying if she ran away Billie wouldn't be mad because LE was saying she was a runaway.
I never thought she ran away.


That's him, were talkin bout the same person.  Had not looked at it since someone brought him up way back and didn't know the posts had been deleted.

Is it possible that PH's conversation with BD was of enough interest and maybe yielded some tidbit that LE has included in the case and that makes PH part of the investigation?  Maybe he's speaking from the 'I've been questioned about this and I know what I can and can't say cause I'm a lawyer' perspective?

starwynn ... I agree.

It is difficult for me to comprehend why investigators would share inside info from within the Hailey Dunn investigation with Peter Hyatt and/or the hosts of BTHN ... afford them permission to reveal on the BTHN show what is being shared.  It seems so unprofessional.  What about a thing called a press conference.

On the March 10th BTHN show ... within minutes of Rachel (BTHN) informing listeners that LE had instructed her and Bee not to have Shawn or Billie on the show ... she accepted Billie's call and ... allowed Peter to interview her.

Something is sooo wrong with this picture when the following transcript is considered.

Janet

+++++++

Rachel - BTHN

Hailey Dunn: Transcript: Billie Jean Dunn: Blog Talk Radio Interview March 10


<snipped>

Host (Bee Herz): …this chat and show are going to be very controversial…
…we have an announcement to make, and first of all, Rachael, I’m going to bring on, I’m going to bring on our guest right away, and our first guest, our first guest this evening is Billie Jean Dunn.

Host (Rachel Englehart): Hello, Billie Jean.

(Billie not, after all, on the line. Show proceeds.)

<snipped>

Host (Rachel): Well, on that note, because, we, you know, we have been instructed not to have Billie Jean nor Shawn Adkins on our show by law enforcement. They, at this time, according to law enforcement, I’m going to read this verbatim…

We have found out that Billie and Shawn are the only two persons of interest, as of today, in Hailey Dunn’s disappearance.

<snipped>

We also have another announcement, that Billie was told by law enforcement and other agencies to stay away from Shawn Adkins, and until he was cleared of all charges in the disappearance of her daughter, Hailey.

She disregarded her instructions from law enforcement, and to distance herself from Shawn, therefore choosing Shawn over her daughter, Hailey.

<snipped>

Host (Rachael): Billie, are you on the air with us?

Billie Jean Dunn: Yeah.

<snipped>

Host (Rachael): We have Peter here tonight, and I would like for Peter to ask you a couple questions.
 
Billie Jean Dunn: Okay.

Host (Rachael): Are you okay with that?

Billie Jean Dunn: Not really, but…

Peter Hyatt: Would you be okay if I asked you some questions, Billie?
 
Billie Jean Dunn: (doesn’t answer)

Peter Hyatt: The first question I have for you is, what would bring you on to the show tonight?

Billie Jean Dunn: Because Bee asked me to be here.

Peter Hyatt: To what purpose?

Billie Jean Dunn: I think just because she needed to fill the slot, and I was told we were gonna talk about Hailey, and we were gonna talk about the search.
