TX - Hailey Dunn, 13, Colorado City, 27 Dec 2010 - #55

[Hatch]

I felt like tonight I was introduced to HD, the girl that loved her family, the silly 13 YO that danced around in her Dad's home, that was making the best of her life, although maybe not surrounded with a lot of fluff like some kids are these days. I was so warmed that she had a friend like NS to take a interest in her and lend a kind word to her. I was so relieved to know that she had a real home with a loving family, regardless who the members are.
It choked me up to hear her father talk about her.

I think with probably limited resources her Dad and his GF have done all they knew to do .


I can imagine they are frustrated with LE , because they don't have Hailey with them or answers, I do trust that LE is doing all they can do to bring a resolution to this case. And I think WS has brought to the table so many aspects of this case for all of us to look at and consider. I would love to have you all sit around my table for coffee.

I even appreciated the fact that CD said the Billie Jean he knew would not harm her children . Considering all that has been thrown at him it shows he has integrity to be willing to say that. He is hopeful at least.

My hope is that Hailey is found soon , so this family can have a starting point to continue their lives.

And whomever is responsible for Hailey's disappearance be brought to a swift justice. P.S. I was not an English major, Science was my Forte.....

Yes I have it. BRB

Yay.

Altho I thought I had it, I hope they didnt change it as really shows the exact thing Clint was talking about.

I am outraged with TES!! I cannot believe that Tim Miller was more concerned about the media than he is finding this little girl. I am just saddened because I wanted so bad for him to come out!! I don't know if anyone discussed this but Clint Dunn said on that radio show that he contacted TES and spoke directly with Tim. Tim Miller told him he'd come out but he doesn't want the media involved so Clint doesn't know if Tim ever came out. I'm sorry but the media should be the least of Tim's worries!!

Here's the flyer with Hailey shown with all different colors of hair..

Billie: Put aside your differences and past frustrations with Clint, and let that man use the new van you have sitting outside your house while he's running around looking for the daughter you both brought into this world. It's the least you could do. You guys have a nice little tag team going on in the search for Hailey. You are hitting up the media while he's doing the footwork, don't let him do that in a car that's falling apart.

MOO

Hi Everyone,

I don't really know what to say but feel I have got to say something. I think CD did a great interview and I think it was really from his heart. I just wish ppl could/would give BD that kind of support as well. Even CD said she had been crucified and he believed the PC was to keep HD pic out front and for ppl to not forget that she still was missing. I know that both answer questions differently..we all do..but I beleive if BD had had this same interview to begin with and not NGmaybe some would feel differently about her also. I just don't know..I do know that I can see the love and pain that she is going through r/t Hailey with her also where some can't. Maybe if she had been ask the same questions about HD she would have shown us her real feelings as well but NG ask the tuff accusotory type questions trying to find out what happened and BD does not know what happened to HD if she did she would be able to go get her..imo

Some keep saying BD just come clean tell us what you know, quit being fake and so on and so on. What is really that we want to know from her, She has told us what she can in my opinion about what lead up to HD disappearance and we don't believe it. Would we believe it if she aired all her dirty laundry, what her and SA do in thier pleasure time or maybe what she ate the 3 days prior to HD missing. Maybe if we knew what pills she really bought , how much she drank. Just sit down and tell us exactly what is in your little book of life Billie D. I am sure all of this will help us find HD and it will really make me feel like I have done something to help and last but not least i would have finally broke your will and now I can build you up again.. Tell me ..what do we really want to know from BD.

Anyway, just a few of my feelings and jmo on a lot of things. I feel like if CD does not think she would harm HD and we all believe that he really sincere in all of his feelings then maybe I can be a little more leniant toward BD as well......Now SA is another matter.. I wish, hope and pray that they do have something that they can prove and get him to talk if he knows where HD is at. jmo

I wasn't surprised. He was slapped hard by both the Caylee and Haleigh cases. I'll bet he's reluctant when it comes to any high profile cases now.

Clint did confirm what I've heard for years and that is that LE needs to call TES for them to come. That's what I learned in the Wix case and it sounds like it still stands true today. It's probably because they don't want to chance losing resources for wild goose chases.

BTW, if we want to continue discussing TES itself and not so much as it pertains to this case, here is a discussion thread: [ame="http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?p=6088097#post6088097"]What is TES? - Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community[/ame]

Thank you Kimster for link! BTW I got on Nancy again!! LOL :floorlaugh:

Here it is

On Friday police offered to show Clint Dunn surveillance tapes taken around Western Suites near Interstate 20 in Colorado City. Bloodhounds reportedly hit on Hailey Dunn's scent early in the investigation near the lodging. He has asked for access to all information regarding his daughter but says he has not received much.

No not this one , the one I am talking about. Is a very short article and I saw it after billie's presser.

Kempfer said that there was a specific amount of footage and Clint had veiwed all of it. Way more then 3 hours. I want to make sure of how Kempfer worded that remark.

Thanks for pulling it up anyway! I did tag the post as a media link so it will help more people.

 

[LadyLuck]

Sweets, thank you, I agree with your post.

 

[Kimster]

Let's refrain from attacking BD. She is Hailey's mother. I really did enjoy hearing Clint speak about Hailey, but comparing him to Hailey's mother and her shortcomings is just not nice at all. BD is a grieving parent too - even if some think she lacks "bedside manner".

Thanks!

I don't blame TM, not one bit. He is being put through the wringer by Casey Anthony's defense team and being sued and lied about. Why wouldn't he be nervous about the media?

I listened to Clint's interview, and it was very good. I have said before that I know he loves Hailey with all his heart, and not having a clue about what has happened to her is killing him.

I would like to say something about Billie's statement on Monday. From the beginning, besides just keeping media coverage for Hailey, this statement was to let Billie go over what she knew firsthand and also what she had been told. She also did this for another reason, which she clearly said - that she does not want to defend herself or anyone else. She wants the focus to return to Hailey.

Yes, I typed the statement up for her. But I typed it from what she wrote out. IMO, it was clear that she differentiated from her what she knows firsthand, which she talked about first, and then what she was told by DD and SA, which she 'touched briefly on'. And what she said about Hailey was from her heart. She did not write that down. I had left a blank space in the typed statement in case she wanted to write something specific down, but she didn't. She spoke straight from her heart.

IMO, she was also trying to make everyone understand why she felt the way she did. Of course she doesn't want to believe that SA could have anything to do with Hailey's disappearance. IMO, no one would want to have to face the fact that someone they love could harm their child. But she did make him leave her house. And I feel that she made it clear by saying SA 'claimed' or 'said' this or that.

Regardless, IMO, she made it clear that she did not want to defend anyone. She wants everyone checked out, every lead investigated. IMO she has been put into a position that she has to defend SA to defend herself. I feel like many people hold her (to whatever extent) responsible for his actions and past behavior just because she was in a relationship with him.

SA, if innocent, needs to step up and defend himself. And if he is guilty, then I hope he burns in heII. I wish that he would just hurry up and tell what he knows, or that LE would haul him in and charge him if they have the evidence against him. This has gone on for way too long IMO.

As far as the things she said about people accepting donations - IMO she was not talking about Clint. Or the account set up for the searchers. I personally know that there was a woman going around to businesses and posting lists of things needed and asking people for money. Billie asked her to take the lists down and stop asking for money (which she never got any of, btw) and she did not stop. Billie did tell one of the Rangers about this.

Regardless of how anyone feels about Billie or Clint, this is about Hailey. I really wish that everyone could move back to that. I am not talking about WS members - I am talking about everyone everywhere. Talking smack or discussing what should or should not have been done by anyone in the past is not bringing us any closer to finding Hailey. Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone has regrets. Some are worse than others. But Hailey's parents both love her, and all they want is to get her back.

My apologies if this was discussed, I had to leave as the interview ended.

What about wanting to watch those surveillance tapes at the motel? Why wouldn't LE welcome the family to watch and see if they saw someone they know???

not his exact words kimster, but both him and BD wanted to watch them to see if they could recognize anyone, see something with there own eyes so to speak

he felt that he did not see all the tapes and was given lip service (my words not his) to pacify him

I am glad we have people transcribing.

my run down.

CD said he watched only 3 hours of it and all it showed was employees going in and out. He wanted to watch more to see if he knew anyone but felt they were not showing him something.

This is not word for word. Just a run down of what I read from other posters on the forum here someplace.

Billie needs to convince SA to take his attorney and head on down to the police station and stay there until they are satisifed with all of his explanations. She is friendly with him now, and he claims he is innocent (I presume). Doing this would be the best thing he could do for Billie and for Hailey.

Lawyers never like their clients to talk, I know that, but plenty of people have lawyers and talk to LE. The lawyer can always stop the interview if he feels his client is being attacked.

He really needs to do this, if he is innocent. He needs to take polygraphs until he passes, talk to LE until they no longer want to talk to him, get his family to agree to any and all searches requested.

If he refuses, I wish Billie would turn her back on him. She can always take him back later on, if indeed he is eventually cleared and if it is in Hailey's best interests. But her degree of concern for SA right now seems misplaced.

All my own opinion, of course, and for me, Billie's apparent love/obsession/concern for Shawn is what turns me off Billie; I don't think she did anything to Hailey, or knows whether or not he did. But right now, LE thinks he did, and her loyalties to Hailey are not clear to (some of) the public at large and it is disconcerting to say the least.

Not trying to disagree with you, but I think getting out of the media circus is the best thing and most professional thing that Tim Miller could do. The whole scenario during Caylee Anthony's disappearance was nothing but a circus and somewhat with Haleigh Cummings. I'll bet Tim will be searching at some point when all the media and talk shows won't be causing all sorts of trouble, meddling, and fueling arguments between people. Maybe Clint should call again and ask that it be kept secret. LE and Texas Rangers probably don't want media involved either.

IMO, he's already had PLENTY of time to do the right thing. He hasn't. I'm afraid he's stringing BD along in hope of creating more confusion too.

I'm with LE on this - SA has the answers. I want to hear HIS timeline down to the last nanosecond. :snooty:

I just do not understand that, CD said he wanted to see tapes of people that checked in or out. He wanted to see if there was someone he knew maybe from the past. I think it would be great if they let him review all of Sunday, Monday and Tues.
