Recall the report that there was a text message sent by "Hailey"? Let's review the text message from a cell phone with Billie Jean Dunn's statement about the cell phone to Nancy Grace.
Projection: Hailey could not have died the night before because she sent a text message from her mother's phone.
Response: This text message was part of a planned alibi by Billie Dunn and Shawn Adkins, sent by Adkins since Hailey was already dead.
I. The Sleep Over
http://bigcountryhomepage.com/fulltext/?nxd_id=334376
Cecilia Garcia says she was shocked when Shawn Adkins, the live-in boyfriend of Hailey Dunn's mother, claimed Hailey was going to a slumber party at her family home on the night she disappeared.
"Obviously he's not telling the truth about her spending the night at Mary Beth's," said Garcia.
Garcia says at her house, it's not like these parties would happen out of the blue.
"Hailey has never spent the night here," she said.
Note that the subject attributes the statements to Shawn Adkins.
Hailey lives just a few blocks down from Mary Beth, and four weeks later, Garcia says her daughter still hurts.
"It's been real hard on my daughter," she said, "and she fears for Hailey."
So much, that Mary Beth would not talk to us on camera.
"She fears for her own life also," Garcia explained.
This is wise. One child was dead and she could not know what they could have done to her daughter.
Garcia says on the day Hailey disappeared, Mary beth received a text message that said "what are you doing?"
She says the message was sent from Hailey's mother's cell phone at about 2 o'clock, which Hailey always used, but Garcia says she worries that there is no evidence to prove Hailey sent that message.
The Garcia family says authorities have taken that text message as evidence in the investigation.
II. Billie Jean Dunn's Statement about Cell Phone
I contend, based upon the language, behavior and who took the lead to present the sleepover story, that not only was the story a fabrication and that it was copied from Carlie Brucia from Nancy Grace's associated True Crime library where Billie Dunn had read and downloaded from, but that in Billie Dunn's own statement to Nancy Grace, we see how she knew this text message was deliberately planned and sent by she and/or Shawn.
In the SCAN technique of Statement Analysis (SCAN is the basis for all Statement Analysis today), there are two words which are given the highest level of sensitivity:
a. Left
b. Because
a. Left. When someone goes to a place, but mentions the leaving of the initial place, it indicates that there is missing information, that is, the person's mind is at the place departed, rather than the place arrived at.
Example:
"I went to the store" is straight forward. The most important word is "store" to the subject.
"I left home and went to the store" shows that the subject's mind has included the leaving of the home, meaning that there is missing information about what happened at home that is sensitive enough to the subject to mention it.
In SCAN, this is given the color coding of blue as the highest level of sensitivity and it stands out when the paper is held out.
b. Because
When a person, in an open sentence, goes beyond simply telling what happened, and feels the need to explain the reason why something was done, the need to explain, itself, is also given the color blue as the highest level of sensitivity.
This simple color coding, all by itself, solves many crimes and cases.
Therefore, if a person uses the word "because", or something similar ("so, since, therefore, to, hence...") it is very sensitive. This is negated if the person is asked "Why did you..." since the response is to a direct question.
Example:
A garbage man was accused of robbing a house on his route. He said,
"I went to 20 Smith Street to pick up the trash..." showing the need to explain the reason for being at the location when there is no need to: he has to go there to pick up trash.
Anywhere we see the word "because" or "so, since, therefore...", we immediately highlight this as very sensitive.
In criminal acts, we often find the time frame of the crime by what is called by LSI a "cluster of blues"; that is, 2 or more areas in which the color blue is seen. We 'aim' our interview in between the blue area for the most sensitive portion of the statements. Investigators who learn little about Statement Analysis but grasp this principle, all by itself, found an increase in crime solving.
It is not difficult.
When Billie Dunn appeared on Nancy Grace, within the first moments, we learned from her language that Hailey was deceased, and Billie Dunn was in need of establishing an alibi. (see prior analysis).
GRACE: Miss Dunn, how far did she have to go to get to the little sleepover?
Simple Question: How far did she have to go?
DUNN: Four to five blocks. It wasn`t rare for Hailey to walk a short distance during daylight. She wasn`t allowed out after dark especially to walk, but she only had four to five blocks to go.
Heather and I watched this live on January 3rd. She asked me if I heard what the mother just said. I had, but it was not what I wanted to hear. "Not another!"
Not once, but twice the mother of a missing child, in her first answer, referenced the child in the past tense.
When the parent of a missing child references the child in the past tense, it is an indication that the parent knows or believes her child is dead. Susan Smith, Casey Anthony, Haleigh Cummings' step mother, Baby Lisa's mother, Baby Ayla's father...and on the list goes.
As of January 3, 2011, had police said anything to the mother to make her believe her child is dead? This goes against the natural denial aspect of a mother's protective instincts. Even after a child is found dead, an innocent mother will still reference the child in the present tense as it goes against her own instinct to accept that her child is dead.
Billie Jean Dunn has given two linguistic indicators that Hailey is dead. What she says next must be understood in this light.
GRACE: Tell me what happened the day she went missing, Miss Dunn.
"What happened?" is the best question to ask. It is the perfect question that allows the subject to:
1. Begin the account wherever she chooses. The first sentence is always important. She could choose to start it anywhere, but where she chooses is critical and shows priority.
2. She will choose when to end the account.
3. Her words are her own. Nervousness is expected, which is why courts find the nervous 911 call so reliable and label them "excited utterance"; that is, to the courts, their words are, to the court, the most reliable, since the person is upset.
4. Free Editing Process makes Statement Analysis reliable. We do not interpret, we listen.
DUNN: She went missing on Monday while I was at work. My boyfriend - - he came home from work about 3:00 -- or he got to my house about 3:00. And he`s seen Hailey. Hailey was there. She told him, I`m running across the street to my dad`s house for a few minutes but I`m going Mary Beth`s, and I`m staying the night there. Let my mom know.
So that evening when he picked me up from work, we got home, we were getting ready for bed. I didn`t get worried when I hadn`t heard from Hailey. I thought she was at Mary Beth`s. I was kind of upset that she didn`t call and confirm it with me, but not worried at that point.
Tuesday, I was at work again, I left my cell phone at home for my kids to use when I`m working. So Tuesday, I called my son. I said tell Hailey text the little girl, her friend, tell Hailey she needs to go ahead and get home. This was around lunch. My son called me back within a few minutes and she said, mom, she said Hailey never made it over there. She never spent the night.
So at that point I called Hailey`s dad and found out she didn`t over there and she didn`t stay the night with him. I left from work and went to the police station in Colorado City and reported her missing.
Here is the same response with emphasis added. Notice where the blue coloring stands out as the most sensitive portions of the statement. Where would you aim your interview questions?
DUNN: She went missing on Monday while I was at work. My boyfriend - - he came home from work about 3:00 -- or he got to my house about 3:00. And he`s seen Hailey. Hailey was there. She told him, I`m running across the street to my dad`s house for a few minutes but I`m going Mary Beth`s, and I`m staying the night there. Let my mom know.
So that evening when he picked me up from work, we got home, we were getting ready for bed. I didn`t get worried when I hadn`t heard from Hailey. I thought she was at Mary Beth`s. I was kind of upset that she didn`t call and confirm it with me, but not worried at that point.
Tuesday, I was at work again, I left my cell phone at home for my kids to use when I`m working. So Tuesday, I called my son. I said tell Hailey text the little girl, her friend, tell Hailey she needs to go ahead and get home. This was around lunch. My son called me back within a few minutes and she said, mom, she said Hailey never made it over there. She never spent the night.
So at that point I called Hailey`s dad and found out she didn`t over there and she didn`t stay the night with him. I left from work and went to the police station in Colorado City and reported her missing.
This statement is important enough to view by itself piece by piece:
DUNN: She went missing on Monday while I was at work.
She chooses to begin her account by establishing an alibi.
Dunn was not asked "when did she go missing?" which means the question, "What happened to Hailey?" is "sensitive" to the subject.
To an innocent parent, the question is not "sensitive" within itself. The entire topic is very emotional, but "sensitive" is a word used in analysis. When the father of Hailey Dunn was asked the same question, his answer showed no sensitivity indicators, though he was upset out of his mind.
To now be introduced to this case, the reader/analyst is immediately confronted with a mother who has indicated her child is dead, and is establishing an alibi for herself.
On January 3, 2011, the mother of Hailey Dunn indicated:
1. Hailey is dead
2. Mother needs an alibi
My boyfriend - - he came home from work about 3:00
1. ISI: Incomplete Social Introduction (LSI)
Note first that she introduced Shawn Adkins without his name. This is an improper social introduction and it is indicative of a troubled relationship. That she takes ownership with the possessive pronoun, "my" shows that they are together, but in relation to the missing child, there is something less than good, as evidenced by the missing proper name.
Note that she knows how to use present tense and past tense verbs and uses past tense here.
2. Note that she chooses the time "3:00". We note this as the liar's number meaning from Mark McClish's research, when someone must choose a number between 1 and 9, in a deception, they often choose the number 3. (not part of SCAN)
or he got to my house about 3:00.
She allows for an "either/or" possibility reducing commitment to the story. This allows for changes to be made later and shows the uncertainty of her account. Why would the mother of a missing child, on high adrenaline alert, not have established, a week later, what happened and where her boyfriend was, or what time he got home? This uncertainty is taken in context with the indication of death, and the need to establish an alibi.
Note it is "my house" which is expected.
And he`s seen Hailey. Hailey was there.
1. A sentence that begins with "And" indicates the need for a connecting word = missing information. It is a jump in an account.
2. Redundancy means sensitivity.
"he's seen Hailey." She establishes that Adins laid eyes on Hailey. Extra words give us additional information. This is critical.
"Hailey was there."
If he "seen Hailey", wouldn't she have to be there to be seen?
The extra words indicate deception. It is the need to emphasize that Hailey was there, (alive is the presupposition she hopes the listener will accept, even though she spoke of her as dead) which shows deception.
My assertion: Hailey was not there at 3PM to be seen alive. This is why it is needlessly repeated; nervousness about the story is causing her to give additional words. If he "seen Hailey", she would have to be there. Her need to emphasize Hailey's presence means that Hailey's presence is in doubt.
Hailey was not alive to be seen at 3PM.
She told him, I`m running across the street to my dad`s house for a few minutes but I`m going Mary Beth`s, and I`m staying the night there. Let my mom know.
Communicative language is important. We note that "said" and "told" are different.
"My boss said to take this to Main St." is one way of saying something but with more authority, "My boss told me to take this to Maine St." is another.
Here, she uses the more authoritative "told" regarding a 13 year old child speaking to an adult. This is not the expected.
As to the story of going to a friend's house, we later learned that Billie Dunn told Nancy Grace that she had "true crime" literature in her home, and it was the same material that Nancy Grace, herself, was associated with. What is this reference?
It is reference to the case of Carlie Brucia who was abducted and killed. The story line is the same.
Billie Dunn referenced where the case came from and gave a similar story.
So that evening when he picked me up from work, we got home,
She then uses the very sensitive word "so" explaining her actions. Why is this so sensitive? It is so sensitive because she has the need to tell us why she did something. Is there something missing between being picked up at work and getting home?
Missing time gap noted. What do we know about what Billie Dunn and Shawn Adkins like to do after work, before they get home? We learned on the Nancy Grace Show, and from the affidavit about stopping off at an ATM machine to withdraw money for narcotics.
Note another needless statement: "we got home."
Look at the awkwardness of the entire statement. What is the reason she has to explain that while driving home they got home? This is missing information, in her mind, making her nervous.
we were getting ready for bed.
We listen to what someone tells us. She only says "we" were getting ready for bed. She does not say they went to bed, nor does she say they went to sleep.
Did they get home so late that it was bedtime? No. This is another gap of time where there is missing information.
What they did, or talked about, is very sensitive to her, therefore she attempts to skip right past it, yet it still shows up in her language. She jumped from getting home, to getting ready for bed. No dinner?
What about "getting ready" for bed?
There is a reason to everything that is said. Always note when people say that they were getting ready to do something as it does not mean they did something; only that they were getting ready to. There is a need to give a sentence of beginning something but not doing it. When people do something, they say so. When they may not have done something, they will often say they began to do something. Did they finish it? If they did not say so, we cannot say so for them.
Next, when speaking from memory, a person can tell us what they did, and what they thought. If they tell us what did not happen, what they did not see, what they did not think, we are on high alert for deception:
I didn`t get worried when I hadn`t heard from Hailey.
We now have a dead child, a mother establishing an alibi, and now she tells us of what emotions she did not have.
Deception indicated.
Question: Where were you when 911 attack happened?
Answer: We mark time by events that happen. We don't mark time by things that did not take place.
Question: Where were you when President Obama was not shot?
Answer: Huh?
The question is illogical if there was no attempt on the President's life.
Question: Where were you when the Mets did not win the World Series?
Answer: Which year?
The question is "sensitive"; that is, it is answered by a question because it is not understood. We do not mark time by what did not happen.
Here, we have the 'double' sensitivity: she tells us what she did not feel when something did not take place.
This is indication that she is speaking from a deceptive script and not from memory.
I thought she was at Mary Beth`s. I was kind of upset that she didn`t call and confirm it with me, but not worried at that point.
In her story, the caring loving mother who would not let her daughter out after dark, does not realize that in her story, the caring, loving mother does not bother to pick up the phone to call the daughter whom she was not worried about, but then kind of upset about. This is an example of the illogic of lies.
Since Hailey didn't say to Adkins that she was staying at Marybeth's, but "told" him, if the language was consistent, there should have been a report of a fight, or disagreement. This inconsistency is noted. She again reports what didn't happen: Hailey "didn't call."
This is a truthful sentence and an example of how a sentence can be truthful while being overall deceptive.
Tuesday, I was at work again,
Here is another case of a seemingly unnecesary word becoming of vital importance.
Why the need to say she was at work, "again"?
1. It could be that she rarely works, and was per diem, and found herself surprised to be called in. This is something a substitute teacher might say.
2. She is continuing to work her alibi.
Since we have, in context, her establishment of alibi, the analyst/reader should see this as the subject seeking to affirm her alibi. Later, we learned that this was her regular job and not a per diem or temp. position.
Here is the critical point of the "blues" close together, making it a very sensitive point for Billie Dunn.
I left my cell phone at home for my kids to use when I`m working.
She now tells us why she did something, making "what happened?" into "why something happened" meaning high sensitivity. She is setting up a scenario and explaining why she did something.
She is portraying herself as a caring mother.
Question: Who portrays themselves in positive terms?
Answer: those who have been negligent and have a need to persuade.
We know the cell phone is sensitive to her. She felt the need to explain why she left the cell phone home, even moving into present tense "when I'm working" as if she adds in how caring and responsible a mother she is. This should have been a straight forward past tense statement. She should not have to explain why Hailey had a cell phone on her. But in this case, she needed to let the audience know that Hailey had a cell phone on her preparing for the fake text message sent, by Shawn Adkins, in order to solidify their alibi, their copied story from Carlie Brucia.
So Tuesday, I called my son. I said tell Hailey text the little girl, her friend, tell Hailey she needs to go ahead and get home.
1. "So" explains why she did something, highly sensitive, rather than answering the basic "what happened?" question. She explains why she called her son, making it sensitive. This is a sensitive part of the statement.
Is calling David so rare that she felt the need to explain it?
Why not call Hailey herself? If she is such a "wonderful" mother (this is the word Billie Dunn used to describe herself as a mother; a classic signal of negligence), why didn't she call her only 13 year old child to check on her that night? Say "goodnight" and "I love you"?
Do you know many parents who would not have done this, especially since the child was alleged to have gone to a sleep over without permission?
Why did she not call Hailey directly this day? If she can pick up the work phone and call David, she can pick up the work phone and call Hailey.
This was not part of the script.
This is an attempt to distance herself from the account. This is consistent with "she went missing while I was at work."
She establishes an alibi for herself, and distances herself from Hailey by all means.
2. Note the communication of what she said to her son:
a. Tell Hailey
b. Text the little girl
c. her friend
d. tell Hailey
The sentence begins strongly, with "I" indicating that she should be able to say what she said, but she isn't. Why the confusion? Tell Hailey via what means? The phone? She already said she left her phone home for her kids. Text? The "little girl" which is then explained as "her friend", and then back to "tell Hailey."
This was around lunch. My son called me back within a few minutes and she said, mom, she said Hailey never made it over there. She never spent the night.
She "said, mom, she said..." uses her title, "mom". Note that economy of words from truthful statements are short: "he said..." yet she adds in "mom" as if story telling.
"never made it over there" is one thing but for the third time she gives us useless redundancy: "she never spent the night". It is useless since if she never made it there, she never spent the night.
"My son called back" also shows that Billie Dunn could talk on the phone from work. She could have picked up the phone and called Hailey, but that would have left her as the one having to be involved.
At this point, would you have called Hailey's cell phone?
Do you even know a parent who would go this far to avoid calling her own child?
So at that point I called Hailey`s dad and found out she didn`t over there and she didn`t stay the night with him. I left from work and went to the police station in Colorado City and reported her missing.
She returns to the explanation of why she did something. In the SCAN tecnigue is colored as "blue", or the highest level of sensitivity. A single indication of "blue" is sensitive, but where there is 2 or more, the analyst holds the paper up to the light and sees that in this area, between the "blues" is the most critical portion of the statement and where deception
is to be found. This is critically sensitive information.
In just where Hailey Dunn's mother spoke for only a few moments this is what we learned about a missing 13 year old:
1. She is dead
2. The mother has a need for an alibi
3. The mother is making up a story about what happened: she is deceptive.
4. There is trouble with the boyfriend.
All this in just one answer to one question.
Without knowing anything about the police affidavit, investigation, or anything else, you already know that this is not a missing child case, but a homicide.
You also know it is a domestic homicide.
This is why defense attorneys do not let their clients speak.
Here we see why the cell phone information is so sensitive to Billie Dunn. She knew it to be part of their script to follow, yet she could not help reveal this in her words, and in her refusal to call Hailey herself.
A child learns early how difficult lying is. The internal stress does not necessarily come from a conscience.
It is difficult to lie because the brain has no sensory connection to the lie and it is taxing to the brain to keep track of the lies because if "A" is a lie, then "B" must follow, keeping it going. It can become very stressful (sensitive) to the liar to keep track of these things.
Billie Dunn and Shawn Adkins sent a fake text and had to incorporate into the story, so when Billie Dunn was on Nancy Grace, she kept it in as part of the script. Nancy Grace's reaction to this (and other holes in the story) show that she did not believe it. Had she said, "Why didn't you, yourself, call your daughter?" Billie likely would have landed on her feet. She has done it for almost 4 decades, but her answer, no matter what it was, would have given us that famous Nancy Grace eye roll as she said, "well, okay than. Okay" and moved on to her next question.
If you take the account of Hailey's death given in Statement Analysis, the bizarre, awkward wording of some of the statements begin to make sense:
"She looked like she was sleeping" while viewing a dead body.
"I didn't touch her" as people don't like to touch dead bodies.
"He seen Hailey. Hailey was there." Attempt to persuade because Hailey was not there, she was already dumped by Adkins.
Statement after statement by the voice of the two, Billie Dunn, all make sense when we consider that Hailey had already lost her life.
Hailey Dunn's remains will be found in Scurry County. I believe Shawn Adkins. Whether or not the remains are Hailey's or not, the case is not going away.
Next: Will there be arrests if the remains are Hailey's?
