Facebook rumors hinder Dunn investigation

By Staff
Posted August 10, 2011 - 1:15pm

<snip>

One of the biggest hindrances to any police investigation is the rumor mill. In regards to the Hailey Dunn case, Facebook&#8217;s rumor and speculation mill, as well as all public forums, makes those complications go exponential.

&#8220;Facebook is public enemy #1 because it is a site of gossip and internet bullying from one person to the next,&#8221; said Det. Kelsey Alexander of the Colorado City Police Department, one of the lead investigators in the Dunn case. Alexander has worked the case since 13-year-old Hailey went missing in late December of 2010.

&#8220;People take what they see on Facebook as real,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Just because someone is discussing something doesn&#8217;t make it a tip or lead. It&#8217;s two people sharing an opinion.&#8221;

Police Answer Tough Questions in Dunn Case
Monday, August 29 2011*

In a weekend gathering to remember Dunn, supporters like Carrie McGonigle had tough words for local law enforcement.*

Searchers like Holly Jenkins still gather to look for the missing teenager. She's angry because she feels law enforcement is allowing her and others to waste their time.

"So we spent all day, all night, driving from all over to search and our items that we found, we tagged, we turned in weren't picked up," said Jenkins.

Detective Kelsey Alexander explains that not everything can be collected, but says police are paying attention.

"Some of the items are collected. Some of them aren't. Just because it wasn't collected doesn't mean it wasn't investigated," she explains.

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.

The FBI may have made a mistake...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."...

Posted October 18, 2011

<snip>

Mistake on FBI Hailey Dunn poster causes uproar
Posted October 19, 2011 - 11:42am

<snip>


“We’re trying to get that corrected,” Owens said. “She is not kidnapped.”

Hailey was added to the FBI’s missing persons website at the instigation of Owens, who was approached a couple of months ago by a citizen involved in the Hailey Dunn search who asked why Hailey wasn’t listed on the FBI website.

“I didn’t know they had a special list,” Owens said, who promptly called both the Dallas and national FBI offices. “The people I talked to didn’t know anything about it either.”

...Owens got an email from someone on the Hope for Hailey team about the new wording...

“This has got everybody in disarray,” he said. “As near as we can figure, they went back to the original investigation for their word choice.”


Based on evidence from the initial two search warrants filed for a Blackberry and mass media storage and the fact Hailey left without any of her favorite personal items, the FBI had two choices of terminology for Hailey, missing or kidnapped.

“Basically, she’s disappeared,” Owens said. “The FBI took it upon themselves to use the word kidnapping. That’s their prerogative, but it’s caused an overflow of stuff to happen. We’re trying to get it corrected.” :waitasec:


“There was no sign of struggle in Hailey’s room or in the house and we have no hard evidence one way or the other as to whether she left on her own free will or not.”


“There’s been a lot of stuff found but nothing has been found to corroborate what has happened to this young girl,” Owens said.

Dunn Volunteers Working to Bring Search Dog to Colorado City

Reported by: Shannon McConathy and Stetson Samuel
Wednesday, October 26 2011

Thursday marks ten months since Colorado City teen Hailey Dunn went missing. Members of the community are now asking for help as they continue to search.

They're hoping to bring search dogs to Colorado City. Bringing in a dog would be an independent project, not sponsored by any law enforcement agency.

It would cost at least $1,200 to bring in a search dog, and Colorado City residents are taking on the task of raising that money.

The dogs work with local law enforcement or for private citizens who hire them.
