Texas father still looking for answers, justice in 2010 death of Hailey Dunn

Questions about Hailey Dunn's disappearance from her Colorado City, Texas home in 2010 linger, even years after her remains were laid to rest.

The disappearance of 13-year-old middle school student Hailey Dunn in Colorado City hits its nine-year anniversary this month with her father, Clint Dunn, still looking for answers.

"I feel like I'm left in the darkness because law enforcement is not communicating with me at all," said Clint Dunn, speaking via telephone this week. "... This needs to move forward."

Hailey's death remains unsolved, though her remains were found in 2013 in Scurry County.

Investigators named Shawn Adkins, the live-in boyfriend of Hailey's mother, Billie Jean Dunn, at the time of the teen's disappearance, the primary person of interest, according to Reporter-News archives. He has not been charged with a crime in the case.

Clint Dunn said Thursday that law enforcement officials had indicated to him that when a body was found, an arrest would be made.

"I want to know why that hasn't happened and who do I need to get in here to try to help," he said.

Clint Dunn has secured a private investigator, he said, and as tips are received, they are passed on to authorities.

But return replies are few, if any, he said.

"We don't even know who's got the case right now," he said. "... We've called everybody — the FBI, the Texas Rangers, (an investigator) that was over the case for so long in Scurry County. ... I just want to know why they haven't brought this to trial yet. Why hasn't there been a court date?"

I'm sure there's already a link to the states' motion to dismiss here somewhere but here's another:

This tweet has a pretty good short outline on this case, for anyone who wants to know the back story.

With all due respect to "Crazy Vibes", I wouldn't consider Shawn to have been a "new" boyfriend, nor do I recall anyone saying Hailey was "uneasy around Shawn and often expressed fear of him."
And to the contrary, Shawn's statements regarding Hailey's movements have always been consistent.
And David did not see any such conversation between Shawn and his uncle. that's complete bs (where does this info come from?!); indeed, when David came home, Shawn was alone in the house.
(That info must come from Clint, which would partly explain why David and Clint are to my knowledge are estranged).
Clint's also mischaracterized the gathering of people at Hailey's house by calling it a "party".
Anyway...
Clint's association with that crazy PI lady includes misrepresenting the facts and circumstances which only serves to make an already difficult case even harder to solve.

I was hoping that you would post your feelings on the tweet. You gave us important things to think about.

Well, I'm glad to hear that!
You know, the thing is, there's no chance of the case ever being solved if the information is incorrectly interpreted.
Correct info is there was no reason to think Hailey had run away, indeed, there was nothing out of the ordinary going on with Hailey and it's on LE that for the first week or so, they thought that, which in my opinion, shows naivete.
It's correct that Hailey and her friend hadn't made arrangements, but Clint hadn't expected Hailey to come by his house, either... and so if Shawn's afforded the benefit of the doubt, that info is particularly valuable is in that it strongly indicates that Hailey was "intercepted" and disappeared on her way to her father's house.
