Statement Analysis
The Strategy of Deny and Divert
To deny and divert has an ultimate goal, and that is to pervert justice for the victim in the name of saving the guilty.
Sunday, September 04, 2011

 ::snipping2::

When Billie Jean Dunn demanded that law enforcement "get off their @ss and find my daughter!" many remarked that it sounded a great deal like the deceptive diversion (and wording) floated by Cindy Anthony, in an attempt to get attention away from her daughter, Caylee's killer.  They shilled that Caylee was alive and wanted everyone but Casey looked at, including "Zanny", Jesse Grund, Amy H, and eventually George.  Sadly, the strategy of confusion successfully perverted justice for Caylee, but that was what the diversion tactic was designed to do. Cindy refused to let Casey speak to Tim Miller, and Lee refused the polygraph.   Just as birds of a feather flock together, they soon found a 'spokesperson' to fit their needs and personality.

 ::snipping2::

In fact, Cindy had a spokesperson who  insisted that Caylee was alive and police needed to find her, rather than pursue the investigation against Caylee's mother.

Now, Billie Dunn followers are not only hindering the investigation by keeping Dunn from speaking directly to law enforcement, but are asking their followers to write letters to officials complaining that they are not following up on 'leads' and sex offenders.  The strategy is the same as the Anthonys.  Is there a link?

In both cases, police knew, and have known,  that they were not looking for an alive victim.

 ::snipping2::

And so it continues now in Texas, as Billie Dunn followers  do the same:  insisting anything and everything but that which leads back to Billie Dunn and her lies, including Shawn Adkins.

Police have named Shawn Adkins the main Suspect and Billie Dunn as the Person of Interest, with it not known to what extent she has been involved.   Is she merely covering for Adkins, or does she have more reason to lie for him?   They have checked every lead, and every sex offender, and all roads have led right back to Adkins.  Every witness has been interviewed, and the only story that hasn't held up is the one that came from Dunn and Adkins.  They are the ones who lied to police, as they are the ones who have reason to lie.     

What is clear, however, is the strategy of impeding the investigation by, at all costs, diverting attention away from the two main persons of interest; those who failed polygraphs:  Shawn Adkins and Billie Dunn.

I definetly do feel that LE is getting the run around regarding Hailey Dunn.
LE allowed Cindy Anthony & crew to play games for a long time.
I would think that LE would be wiser than to follow up false leads for
Hailey and listen to Billie and her followers BS ! I hope this is resolved soon.
IF u murder your child in the US, it is beginning to look like the system works for the perp. Look at
Casey ! That is a prime example IMO.

Cheerleaders Holding on to Hope for Missing Colorado City Teen
By Jen Kastner
NewsWest 9

COAHOMA- It was late December of last year when Hailey Dunn suddenly went missing from her Colorado City home. Search parties were called off this July, and the case has appeared to have gone cold. However, a group of Coahoma teens are planning to change that.

 ::snipping2::

It's been more than nine months since the teen went missing and the girls fear the community has stopped caring. They're bringing the hope back. The Coahoma High School cheerleaders are dedicating Friday night's football game to Hailey.

Cheer Coach Traci Carr is proud of her girls. "It's all about Hailey and hope for Hailey and the greater good. It's not about them. They're not thinking about themselves. They're thinking about what they can do for others and I think that's awesome," Carr said.

The cheerleaders are also going to be selling all sorts of orange and purple wrist bands, t-shirts and ribbons. Those are Hailey's favorite colors.

Friday's game will break for a moment of silence and they'll also release 14 balloons to celebrate her 14th birthday, which recently passed.

Sheriff: Hailey Dunn Not Kidnapped
Posted: Oct 13, 2011 6:41 PM CDT

COLORADO CITY - The FBI may have made a mistake when it comes to missing Colorado City teen Hailey Dunn. Recently, the FBI put the 14-year-old on their website and listed her under kidnapped.

Newswest9 spoke to the Mitchell County Sheriff who told us it was a mistake. Hailey Dunn should not have been listed under kidnappings.

Instead she should've been under "missing person." The sheriff's office said the FBI will go back and fix the mistake.

HAWKINS: Hailey Dunn has not been kidnapped, but she's missing
October 20, 2011 6:18 AM
BY CELINDA HAWKINS

I had a nerve wracking experience when I was summoned to CBS 7 to appear last Tuesday on Mike Barker’s 4:30 p.m. broadcast “A Closer Look.”

But the reason I was there far outweighed my fear of TV and I was happy to offer up comments and info on the case of missing Colorado City teen Hailey Dunn.

I must admit I was baffled that the FBI had suddenly come out about a week prior listing her as a possible kidnap victim.

As I told Mike Barker before the show, I did not think the designation of “kidnapped” was accurate. I mean, this child vanished without a trace on Dec. 27, 2010.

So far, investigators don’t have even a shred of physical evidence to hang their hats on and so far no charges have been filed against anyone.  So listing her as kidnapped was a head scratcher.

Colorado City Police Chief Roy “Tinker” Owens’ prompting led to the posting on the FBI website.

“We’re trying to get that corrected,” Owens said in a story published in The Colorado City Record. “She is not kidnapped.”

http://www.oaoa.com/articles/mike-74204-experience-missing.html

This case has gone cold.  I fear that Hailey will never be found or the mystery of her disappearance ever resolved.  God bless you, sweetheart.  So many have tried but they have been bested at this point.

Hailey Dunn Search Hits Ten Months 10/30/11

CBS 7 News Reporter
October 30,2011

Colorado City--"It doesn't get any better, everyday it seems likes it's worse than the day before," says Connie Jones.

Dunn's paternal Grandma Connie Jones says that each day of the past ten months has been a constant struggle, and that all she wants is for her to be found.

"We need her home, there's apart of us that's missing and she's that part," said Jones.

Thanks to recent anonymous donations the reward for Dunn's finding has gone up to thirty thousand dollars, an effort by both local donations and the F.B.I.

Hope for Hailey organizers say that all the support from the Permian Basin opens up numerous possibilities.

"We're getting an outpour of caring and willingness to do whatever is possible from everywhere outside of Colorado City," said Stacie Campbell, Hope for Hailey.

Which includes having enough funds to hire a search dog to try and track Hailey's whereabouts, which family friends say helps tremendously in bringing Dunn home.

No developments in Hailey Dunn search

Investigations surrounding the disappearance of Hailey Dunn continue as officers wait for new developments and on evidence testing, nearly a year after the Mitchell County girl vanished.

"We're still working on the case," Mitchell County Sheriff Patrick Toombs said. "Not a whole lot has come in lately."

Dunn, 13 at the time, was reportedly last seen Dec. 27, 2010, by her mother's live-in boyfriend, Shawn Adkins.

Adkins said he was told by the teenager that she would be walking to her dad's house, then spending the night with a friend. Hailey's dad said she did not visit him that day, and the mother of her friend said Dunn did not spend the night in their home.

Toombs said Hailey Dunn's mother, Billie Dunn, is now living in the Austin area with Adkins.

Investigators are waiting on evidence — thousands of images of child pornography that were discovered on a computer confiscated from Adkins' mother's home in Big Spring.

Images of child pornography were found on a memory stick seized from the Dunn home. Investigators seized another computer from Adkins' grandmother's home in the community of Dunn, just north of Colorado City, along with other electronic devices, according to an Abilene Reporter-News report.

An FBI lab in Dallas is looking into the evidence, as is an expert contracted through the Mitchell County District Attorney's Office. No indictment has been filed in the cases, which are out of Scurry and Howard counties.

"Some of us met the week before last on the case," Toombs said. "There's not anything that has changed."

Sweetwater attorney, indicted in aggravated assault, says he'll keep working

Sweetwater attorney indicted Tuesday by a Nolan County grand jury on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon said he will keep practicing law until his case is resolved.

John Stacy Young, 51, is accused of threatening Sweetwater Police officer Danny Heine with bodily injury on June 13. During the assault, Young is accused pulling a 9mm handgun on Heine.

Heine, police said, told Young to stop pointing the weapon at him and knocked it away.  ::snipping2::

Among Young’s clients was Billie Jean Dunn, the mother of missing Colorado City teenager Hailey Dunn. He was unable to represent the woman at a June court appearance.

Previously, Young has defended Abilene House of Yahweh leader Yisrayl Hawkins, who was charged with bigamy. Charges later were dropped.   ::snipping2::

Hailey Dunn's grandmother: not giving up hope after 11 months
Posted: Nov 27, 2011 8:20 PM CST
Updated: Nov 27, 2011 10:47 PM CST
By Emily Black - email

COLORADO CITY, (KCBD) - Eleven months ago Sunday, Colorado City teen Hailey Dunn went missing.  Since then, numerous searches turned up very few leads in the case.

Her family, including Hailey's grandmother, Connie Jones, is still desperate for her return.

Jones says Hailey showed no signs of wanting to run away.  Billboards are stationed for miles around Colorado City, and fliers have been put up from Lubbock to Mexico in an effort to bring the teen home safely.

 ::snipping2::

"I don't want to live unless I know … where Hailey is.  But I make myself get up everyday and do what I have to do."

Investigators are staying tight lipped about the search for the missing thirteen year old.

Jones says, "I'd do anything humanly possible to bring Hailey and put her back in my son's arms because he needs her.  We all need her"     

Most of Hailey's family has moved away, changing their phone numbers, including Hailey's mother Billie - who now lives in Austin with her boyfriend, Shawn Adkins.  Adkins was also the last person to see Hailey alive.

"If it was my daughter, there's no way that I would leave that house," Jones says. 

Jones has stayed at the same address and says Hailey knows where her spare key is.  "Hailey, you got to come back.  You told me you were going to make me a bracelet and you haven't done it yet."

"I always cautioned her on never talking to strangers.  She'd always assure me I didn't have anything to worry about.  I'm worried.  I'm worried about my granddaughter."

When asked that anyone you know could be involved, Jones says, "Well, they say that most abductions are someone that you know.  I don't know."

And while Jones doesn't know where Hailey is, she has a message for anyone who does.  "Just let us know where Hailey is at -- that she's alright, please.  Just let us have some kind of closure.  Please."

did Billie at least take her son with her or did she leave him behind too while she is living with her boyfriend, who is the main suspect in her daughter's disappearance...

[grace-land]

The grandmother, Connie Jones, said recently that Billie lives with Shawn in Austin.  So, maybe Billie's son is still living with her brother.

Abilene fundraiser helps raise money for Hailey Dunn search
Event raises funds to help continue effort
By Denise Blaz
Abilene Reporter-News
Posted December 10, 2011

The hunt for missing Colorado City teen Hailey Dunn, who was last seen almost a year ago, has dwindled, although her supporters have not given up.

On Saturday they were serving food and accepting donations to fund more searches.

The Colorado Middle School student was reported missing by her mother, Billie Jean Dunn, on Dec. 28, 2010, and is said to have been last seen the day before.

Diana Bien is among those who hasn't given up on finding Hailey, who was 13 when she disappeared. On Saturday, Bien was seen talking with attendees at her Hope for Hailey fundraiser at Kent Harley-Davidson in south Abilene, sipping on hot chocolate during the overcast day.

Bien and other people committed to the cause helped serve brisket, cookies, coffee and soda.

Last month the Abilene group raised more than $1,000 in an effort to bring back search-and-rescue groups.

"I have called the Police Department several times, and they say nothing," Bien said. "They say, 'No comment.' They need to bring the dogs back to pick up on her scent. It's like they've given up hope."

Vigil Held for Missing Colorado City Teen
By Jen Kastner
NewsWest 9

COLORADO CITY- Hailey Dunn, now 14-years-old went missing last December 27th. This Saturday doesn't mark the exact one year anniversary of her disappearance, but friends and family found that meeting up about two weeks early meant more people could show up to the vigil. They were probably right. When NewsWest 9 showed up, we saw dozens of folks coming together and hoping for Hailey's return.

Hope for Hailey Supporter, Diana Bien, says, "Somebody knows something and we don't know who that somebody is but I'm hoping and praying somebody will step forward and say, 'I saw something and I know something,' she's there, somewhere. Somewhere."
