Statement Analysis: Shawn Adkins on Andrea

The following is transcripts from the radio program in which Shawn Adkins spoke about the woman, Andrea.

Statement Analysis is in bold type.

This girl, her name is Andrea, I met her a few times almost a 

year ago and the short time I known her I really didn’t take a 

liking to her because in a way I feel that she was having a fatal 

attraction toward me. I remember days when she was telling me 

she loves me and I wanted to put an end to it and I did.

Ever since then she’s been, I feel like she’s stalking me and

 she’s even gone to the extent of coming over to my mother’s 

house and vandalizing her property. Ever since then she’s been 

causing problems and I found out here lately that a searcher 

that she’s been putting all these posts on Facebook that she and 

I were getting married and everything like this, and that we’re 

still together.

I’m here to say that is not true. There’s only one woman I love

and that’s Billie Dunn. I have no feelings whatsoever for you 

Andrea. I wish you would just leave me alone. I’ve already been 

through enough."

Here is the statement again, with analysis and emphasis added:

This girl, her name is Andrea, I met her a few times almost a 

The word "this" indicates closeness.  This closeness may be physical, emotional, etc, as it may be 

a topic that is close to the subject's thinking.  This was an appearance on a radio program in

 which he went on to talk about then, missing, 13 year old Hailey Dunn of whom he was named a 

Person of Interest, and a Suspect in. 

Note that along with the word "this", the subject uses her first name.  

year ago and the short time I known her I really didn’t take a 

liking to her because in a way I feel that she was having a fatal 

attraction toward me. 

Note that he "really" didn't take a liking to her, indicating that he did, in some way, take a liking 

to her.  That he did like her is supported by the word "this"; to him, it is not "that woman, Ms. 

Lewinsky" where we see distancing.  He uses the word "this", her first name (he may not have 

wanted to use her last name on the air) and here he concedes liking her. 

"really didn't" :  note that he presents it in the negative, making taking a liking to her 

"sensitive"; which may be explained by both the word "this" and the word "really"

Note that he feels the need to explain why he doesn't "really" take a liking to her, with the 

sensitivity seen in the word "because."  

He does not say "I don't like her" with any form of distancing language; instead, he shows sensitivity towards her. 

Q.  Was this the woman who did the pornographic video with Dunn and Adkins?

Note the fatal attraction to "me"

I remember days when she was telling me 

An honest person can only tell us what they remember; here he feels the need to support his 

statement with "I remember", yet it is "days" and not a specific date, which may explain why he

 says "she was telling me" rather than "she told me."

she loves me and I wanted to put an end to it and I did.

"she loves me"

Note that he "wanted" to put an end to it and adds in "and I did" as a secondary part of the sentence. 

He did not say "she told me she loved me and I ended it", but the additional wording tells us that 

this was something that was ongoing.  Please consider the above sensitivity towards her and the 

closeness, in relation to the need to add:  "and I did."

We can believe that he did end it, but that which preceded the ending is not something he may 

have wanted to reveal. 

Please note that the context of this statement is about Hailey Dunn being "missing" and needing 

to be "found."

Ever since then she’s been, I feel like she’s stalking me and

"Ever since" is a span of time that is not defined. 

Note the change of pronoun and the broken sentence indicate self censoring and  missing information.  

Note that he says "I feel" like she is stalking him, with "I feel" being a weak assertion.  He does not say "She is stalking me" or "she stalked me", but only that he "feels"; allowing for himself and others to "feel" differently. 

 she’s even gone to the extent of coming over to my mother’s 

One might want to question the word "coming over" to learn if the subject had invited her over previously.  

He does not say "she went to vandalize my mother's..." but that she's "even gone to the extent" which attempts to show that previous, unnamed actions, built up to this point.  Why the need to persuade?

"Coming over" is what people do upon invitation. 

house and vandalizing her property.

It is his mother's "house" and "her property" with the coming over to the house mentioned before vandalizing.  

He could have said "she vandalized my mother's house" and we would have known that in order to have done that she would have had to gone there, but he says she was "coming over" and the house and property are listed separately. 

Coming over to the house is separated from the vandalizing of her property.  

If coming over and the vandalizing of the property are different, we should consider and ask what might be separate from the house...

a mail box?

lawn?

car?

Ever since then she’s been 

"Ever since" is another span of time. 

causing problems 

this is also separate from coming over to the house, vandalizing her property.

It would be interesting to learn what would cause "problems" which is plural, and different than 

visits to his mother's house and different from his mother's property. 

He did not say "she caused problems" but is "causing" problems, present tense.  One might 

want to learn if the subject had been seen with Andrea in a manner that was, continually, 

"causing problems" for him and his love interest. 

and I found out here lately that a searcher 

Where is "here"?  Is he at his mother's house where she might be "coming over"? 

There appears indication that this woman is still impacting his relationship with Dunn at the 

time of this broadcast. 

that she’s been putting all these posts on Facebook that she and 

I were getting married and everything like this, and that we’re 

still together.

One may want to ask if the subject had spoken about marriage to the woman, perhaps at his mother's house.  

Note "been putting" verb tense as also ongoing and "everything like this", with "this" also 

indicating closeness.  Will the language support this closeness between a subject and one who has 

a "fatal attraction" to him?

Note:  "she and I were getting married" followed by the pronoun "we" in the same sentence.  Is 

this an embedded admission of what had been discussed between them?
I’m here to say that is not true. 

This is the subject's stated purpose for being "here":  he reports it in the negative as "not true."

What is it that is "not true"?

Please note his purpose for being "here" is not Hailey Dunn.   

When one uses the word "we", it is an indication of cooperation or unity.  When Dunn recently 

said, "we broke up" instead of "I broke up with him", she was indicating to us, linguistically, 

a connection.  

There’s only one woman I love

Also note the addition of the word "only" and the introduction of the word "love" by the 

subject. Previously he spoke of "getting married" and "coming" to his mother's house and 

vandalizing and doing "things" and "causing problems", leading us to wonder, what is "not 

true"?

and that’s Billie Dunn. 

Andrea is given the word "this", indicating closeness, while "Billie Dunn" is given the word 

"that" which shows distance. 

I have no feelings whatsoever for you 

Andrea. 

Note the additional word "whatsoever" added to the sentence in which he speaks directly to Andrea. 

One would wonder how Andrea knew he would be on radio and that his purpose would be to 

make this declaration, which has nothing to do with the dangers, horrors, and feelings of 

fear one might have over a missing 13 year old girl.  

I wish you would just leave me alone. 

Please note his "wish" to Andrea is weak.  He does not say "Andrea, leave me alone", but only 

that it is a "wish."  We often make a wish and later are glad it did not come true, as we change

our minds. This is not a strong statement to Andrea; it is not a command...it is only a wish. 

This suggests weakness within him, as he still has feelings for her.  

I’ve already been 

through enough."

Please note that he has already been through enough already, without mentioning what 

Hailey has been going through.  

The purpose of his appearance was not Hailey, but to honor, publicly, Billie Dunn. 

He did not do a very good job of satisfying her questioning of his fidelity towards her, but 

revealed that he still held feelings, and was not committed to ending a relationship in which 

he likely discussed marriage with Andrea.

Andrea should be thanking God, every day, that she is not with him, after learning what happened to Hailey Dunn.
