UPDATE 10:00 PM January 5, 2011
What began as a small town search is now a full blown national story as 13 year old Hailey Dunn remains missing nine days after her sudden disappearance on Monday December 27th.
Today it appeared that authorities were handling the case less like a runaway scenario and more like a criminal investigation of possible foul play.
The center of the investigation appeared to be the Dunn household at the corner of 18th and Chestnut in Colorado City, where the Texas Rangers combed through Haileys room and searched the backyard.
With cooperation and assistance from Colorado City Police, the Rangers opened a backyard shed and searched other parts of the property for details.
The Texas Ranger investigators declined interview requests with CBS 7 but Haileys mother, Billie Dunn, said the Rangers were looking for any clues or signs that might point out where Hailey went.
Wednesday afternoon Billie told CBS 7 that her boyfriend, Shawn Adkins, was with authorities taking a polygraph test.
City Manager Pete Kampfer said he heard the same thing but that he could not confirm the information.
However, at about 8:00pm, Haileys older brother DD told our CBS 7 crew that Shawn had refused to take two polygraph tests Wednesday.
DD says that Shawn signed the paperwork to take a third but then refused to take it and left the building.
According to DD, the Dunn family and police had not seen Shawn since that last polygraph refusal.
Haileys two uncles corroborated that story but police are not releasing information about any polygraph tests at this time.
Haileys uncle Dale says he took a polygraph test and passed it and added that Billie may have taken one Wednesday night as well.
As of 8:00pm Wednesday night, Billie Jean Dunn was not at her home and her family believed she was in downtown Colorado City with law enforcement authorities.
Okay been thinking about this...We have focused so much on the failing of the Polys by BD & SA but there was 1 other person that was given a polygraph that failed the first 2 times but finally passed. That was BDs brother. My question is what made LE focus on him right away. SA & Naomi were not asked to take a poly but yet her brother was. I think there may be something there that LE knows and has not been put out there. Thoughts?
CD says he was willing to take a poly, but was never asked. We don't know if the GF was.
I find it hard to believe that they wouldn't have been asked to do it if they actually had offered though, they were on the scene at the time and were alledgedly HDs immediate destination according to the last person claiming to have seen her. At least, I can't see any rational argument for them NOT to be polyed when everyone else in the family who lived close by was.
IMO allthough CD was telling US he is cool with it, he wasn't offering to do it to LE. It just doesnt make sense otherwise.
Well, if LE thought they were truthfull (allthough I can't see why LE would think that off the bat, since CD has a criminal record and both of them were apparently near the scene) and they were also willing to take a poly, there would be no reason not to give it to them so as to remove any doubt.

It's not up to LE to give people polys to remove doubt from the minds of a handful of people in the public. What a waste of tax dollars that would be. I sure don't want my tax dollars wasted that way. I want LE working on the people who really did harm this child, and thank God, they are doing that, as we know, since we have a named suspect/POI.
If Clint was involved, then he would have had to be working with the named suspect/POI, Shawn, and that just doesn't make any sense at all to me.
My opinion.
Your post just brought to my mind again how it must REALLY get under Billie's skin that she and Shawn had to take polys, but that LE found no reason to give Clint or Naomi one.
She's worked so hard to cast aspersions and suspicion on Clint and Naomi, but after all this time, LE still finds nothing suspicious about them.
She's so manipulative and controlling, and her games just aren't working this time. It must really rankle her.
Thank God Hailey had Clint and Naomi in her life. Not perfect people, but at least she had two people close to her that LE obviously has determined would not have harmed her. That makes me feel better.
It's terribly upsetting to me that LE has determined that the two adults in closest proximity to this sweet little girl were the ones who were the greatest danger to her. At some level, Hailey knew that - she was telling so many people that she was scared in that house - and that's no way for a child to exist.
We need to listen carefully to children when they express fears like that, and take action to protect them. There are too many abused and raped and murdered children. I want them alive and knowing they are safe.
My opinion.
bbm. Has anybody but Billie said this, or is it just a rumor? LE has stated that they didn't tell anyone poly results.
I think it's just a rumor that's being promulgated for obvious reasons.
The purpose of the investigation is to find HD, not save public funds or salve people's feelings.
It wouldn't be to remove doubt in the public's mind (they dont reveal the results anyway) it would be to remove doubt in the investigation. These people have the potential to be involved in some way, so why not do it to find out so they can be eliminated for sure?
You can be damned sure that if this went to trial with what is currently known, the question of why it wasn't done would be brought up and it would form the basis for an alternate theory of events for the defence. If these people were willing to take a poly, why on earth would investigators leave that door open?
