Expecting the Unexpected
Odd things to say from yesterdays press conference:
"That said, I want to start out by saying that there was no blowout on Christmas. There were no arguments or disagreements. Everyone was getting along fine. Everyone pretty much got exactly what they asked for."
I am a person who has always thought there was something that happened, some kind of incident on the 26th and I never thought it was because somebody didn't like what Santa brought them.
That's one of those statements with "too much" information. Trying to see it from her standpoint, if I said that about my kids or family, it would probably mean our Christmas was smooth sailing.
But in this context, it's almost as if there was some tension in the family about not getting what they want. Disatisfaction? Had Christmas been not so great the year before? Or is she just depressed because Christmas went smoothly then all this happened and blew Christmas away?
It's hard to tell.
"When my ride didnt show up, I called her to see what was keeping her. I peeked in at Hailey because Im used to seeing her asleep on the couch. She wasnt there. I remembered oh yeah, shes in her room. I peeked in and it was dark, but her TV was on, and it definitely pacified me. I didnt touch her, but I seen my daughter and felt good. I came in the living room to wait on my ride."
I think there she's just insisting that Hailey was there that morning and she believes she saw her. The room was dark and the TV was on.
Now. . . here's the thing. I have a daughter famous for falling asleep with the TV on, and sometimes we don't notice till morning. I ALWAYS go in and turn it off. Did BD ever say she turned the TV off? No, because that would mean that she entered the room, which she never said she did, that I recall.
So she thought the girl was watching TV first thing in the morning? What was on at that time of day that a teenager would watch? If it was the Farm Report or something most mothers would have turned it off and realized the child was alseep in the dark.
Hmmm, indeed. But at least that part of her story is consistant!
From Nancy Grace:

BILLIE DUNN: I saw her Sunday night.
GRACE: What time, 10:00 PM?
BILLIE DUNN: Probably around 10:00.
GRACE: Now, was that when you looked in her room and it is was dark and you thought she was lying in her bed?
BILLIE DUNN: I did see her in her room, but I saw her watching TV. Monday morning, I looked in her room and it was dark and it looked look she was laying in bed. But I didn`t go touch her, make sure that was her. I just peeked in to make sure she was in bed to ease my mind and...
GRACE: And so no one for sure saw Hailey from, like -- that was 6:00 AM in the morning when you left...
BILLIE DUNN: Yes.
GRACE: ... until the boyfriend gets home and he says she`s there at 3:0 o`clock and then she leaves at 3:15. So if you were not correct at 6:00 AM, for all I know, she`s been gone since 5:00 AM in the morning.
BILLIE DUNN: Right.
