Case Signal's List: Hailey Dunn - Reference Info - April 2011

• “Law enforcement hasn’t contacted me at all recently, and when we were communicating, it was me going to them asking questions. And I haven’t talked to them in over a month.”
• “Unfortunately, the acts of some in law enforcement to have an opportunity to interrogate Billie Jean have made it difficult for her to trust some of the law enforcement folks. By and large, the vast majority, the Texas Rangers, the professionals are doing a good job and have done a good job. We appreciate their continuing intensity in trying to find her daughter,” said Young.

• “There are a few that have made us a little untrusting or a little leary, frankly, such as coming late in the evening to arrest her on misdemeanor so there was no way we could have made a bond and then they come in and try to interrogate us until 12:30 or 1 o’clock in the morning. That caused us to be a little bit leery. But I think by and large, don’t you agree, Billie, that they’re working hard and doing everything they can do to find your daughter and we’ve had a good relationship with law enforcement,” said Young. 

   “Right,” said Billie.
• In an earlier interview, Billie Jean said she felt a complete stranger had abducted her daughter not far from their home.“I still feel that way the strongest, even though there are many other possibilities.”
• However, Young stated that is just a mother’s speculation. “There’s no way we can know, or anyone of us can know, if she wandered off voluntarily with friends, or was taken or abducted by a complete stranger. But we are so grateful for the hundreds, if not thousands, of volunteers continuing to be enthusiastic about trying to help bring our little girl home.”

• “I kept up for awhile (with bills), but I’m starting to get a little behind right now. At first, I was able to make my money last that I had, but now it is time for me to get out and get back to work,” she said. 

   Young added that she also has received some financial help from family members. “My uncle has helped me a lot,” Billie said.
• When asked if she was still in touch with her ex-husband, Clint Dunn, and her former boyfriend, Shawn Adkins., she replied that she would rather not comment on Adkins.
• “Clint and I have contact usually weekly as long as we both go to search team meetings on Friday,” she said.
• Young referenced the no comment on Adkins by stating that he is a person of interest and law enforcement personnel have inferred any contact with him would make her look bad.
• “It’s hard to believe that someone you once loved would do anything to your family. We have chosen not to have contract with him due to the appearance of impropriety,” said Young.

• “My outlook has already been changed on lots of things. I’ve found out that I am very naive and trusting in people. This has changed my outlook on everything. If she walked through the door, it would absolutely be the best moment in my life and nothing else would matter.”
