Aired January 18, 2011 - 20:00:00 ET
GRACE: I want to go back to Billie Dunn. Back to the question the caller presented earlier. Between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m.. Why? Why? Let`s see that ping record again, Liz. The map. Why would he go into work, Billie, take a look at his boss, 6:00 a.m., take a sip of soda and walk out? Then tell you he got fired or quit or some such story as that when the boss said that`s not what happened at all. He just turned around and walked out. Then his pings placed him back around your home between 6:30 and 7:00 a.m. Then between 7:00 and 9:00, nothing. Then the pings put him at his mother`s house around 9:00 up until 2:40 p.m.
What do you see in that scenario, Billie Dunn? What`s he doing back around your home?
DUNN: I don`t know. That`s all stuff I need a lot of answers to, that we all need a lot of answers to.
GRACE: Well, have you tried to ask him?
DUNN: No.
GRACE: Why?
DUNN: I haven`t spoke with him. He`ll send a text every now and then. But I haven`t asked him, why did you come back to the house? He never let me know that. I didn`t know that until the affidavits came out and showed his pings. That he had come back here first, then to Big Spring.
GRACE: Well, why haven`t you asked him?
DUNN: I haven`t spoke with him.
GRACE: Yes, I know that. My question is, why? I would want to know why. What were you doing back around my house?
DUNN: I want to know too.
GRACE: Well then why haven`t you asked him? Oh, because did the cops tell you not to talk to him?
DUNN: I`m not allowed -- no. When I call over there, they don`t let me talk to him. They won`t put him on the phone.
GRACE: What about a cell phone?
DUNN: He doesn`t have a cell phone.
GRACE: So when you call over there, what do they say?
(CROSSTALK)
GRACE: Well, text him.
DUNN: That Shawn -- Shawn can`t talk to you.
GRACE: He can`t talk to you or he won`t talk to you. Because obviously he can still speak.
DUNN: Per his lawyer, he can`t talk to me.
GRACE: So his lawyer -- man, that was like pulling a tooth. His lawyer has told him not to talk to you?
DUNN: (INAUDIBLE).
GRACE: It`s OK. His lawyer has told him not to talk to you?
DUNN: Right.
