Look for:
1. The pronoun "I"
2. A past tense verb to commit to a past tense event.
3. Nothing added to this formula that reduces commitment or qualifies it in any way. By structure, we may conclude a strong, or truthful statement exists, though we continue work context.
Want to see a truthful statement by Billie Dunn, mother of murdered 13 year old, Hailey Dunn?
Enter into the language that was used before an entire nation in January of 2011 and hear what the Grand Jury may hear.
*******************************************************************************
GRACE: Well, I don`t know what to believe, either, because I`m getting all these different stories about you having a New Year`s Eve party, and you`re high when you go take the polygraph. Let me ask you this. Let`s get back to the facts. When was the last time you absolutely are positive you saw Hailey?
BILLIE DUNN: I saw her Sunday night.
This is a strong sentence and it is, from Dunn, a rare sentence where she uses the pronoun "I", the past tense verb, and no qualifiers. This is a sentence who's structure suggests truth.
Dunn did not address the accusations of telling different stories, having a party, and being high for the polygraph. She only says, likely truthfully, when she saw Hailey. This was the last time Hailey was likely seen alive. After this time period, you will not hear her mother say she saw her. The mother cannot. She will not use the pronoun "I" and the past tense verb, "saw" together again in plain language in the manner she just used. Everything in reality changes after this.
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?
Please note that when this statement is viewed in light of all the other statements made to this point, the analyst is confronted with something possibly horrific.
What is Billie Dunn describing? Use the standard principles of analysis including body posture, reporting what did not happen, was not thought, and the standard sensitivity principle.
Here we have the critical "cluster of blues" that can solve a case. Here Billie Dunn is inviting in to see what she saw, with her own eyes:

Here we have the critical "cluster of blues" that can solve a case. Here Billie Dunn is inviting in to see what she saw, with her own eyes:
BILLIE DUNN: "I did see her in her room, but I saw her watching TV.
"did see" instead of "saw"
The word "but" is refuting or minimizing the "did see" that preceded it. She cannot say it in plain language as she did before. From the point we noted above, Hailey is no longer Hailey. The change in reality took place which is why there is a change in language.
Monday morning, I looked in her room and it was dark and it looked like 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..."
Not "I looked in her room but it was dark"; instead she is distancing herself from it all.
According to the SCAN technique, of which all Statement Analysis is based upon: We give "so, since, to, therefore, because" the color coding blue as the highest level of sensitivity that can be found in a statement of someone reported what happened.
It is here that the person has a need to tell us "why" something was done. This is a need to explain that makes it very sensitive. Instead of just telling us what she saw, she has a highly sensitive need to explain why she did something, and even more sensitive:
Why she did not do something.
The blue coloring shows sensitivity. When it comes together with others, it is the most highly sensitive part of a statement.
This is often the solving of a case. A single "blue" is a strong sensitivity indicator but two or more "blues" is called a "cluster of blues" in which the information contained with the cluster is the most critical information of a case. Just as we highlight "left" in blue, we highlight "because" in any form that seeks to explain why something was done.
If a question is "what did you do?" and it is answered with an explanation "why", it is critical.
Here we have three blues in one short statement and come to the most important part of everything she had told us.
We are at the most critical point of what happened to Hailey, as described by her mother.
Note that she doesn't tell us that Hailey was laying in bed, but rather says it looked like she was laying in bed. This is how she appeared to her mother.

Next Billie states what she didn't do, touch her. That which is reported in the negative is important. Billie didn't touch what looked like it was sleeping in the bed. Ask yourself in what circumstance you would touch something to make sure what it was. Would you touch your child to make sure it was him or her in bed?
Hailey is dead and Billie Dunn cannot bring herself to enter the room and touch her. She cannot do it.
She is taking you, the listener, in with her, back to the next morning that, whatever happened the night before, Hailey did not wake up and now is there, as if she was "like" laying in bed but she was not asleep.

Now note that Billie "peeked in" to make sure she was in bed to ease her mind. I believe this is true.
Why did Billie need to ease her mind?
Something had happened to Hailey that Billie needed comfort and something to ease her mind.
There had been drugs the night before, we know that. She even stopped off, like a dutiful daughter, to ask her own mother if she needed drugs and then used the ATM to empty her account to buy drugs. This is something Nancy Grace would soon learn, too.
Hailey did not go to her bed, peacefully, the night before. If that was the case, there would be no reason to "ease" her mother's mind. There is nothing to soothe or calm, just a sleeping teenager.
What about Hailey being in bed caused Billie's mind to need to be put at ease?
This is what it means to let Billie Dunn guide you.
She said that she needed her mind to be put at ease, even though she claimed to last see Hailey, in her own home, at 10PM the night before, watching TV. No problem reported.
In order to have your mind eased, your mind must be at unease.
Something must happen to put your mind at unease.
Hailey was watching TV at 10PM the night before. This was the last statement made by the mother in which she was able to speak truthfully, without sensitivity, about her daughter.
Between 10PM that night, and 6AM the following morning, something upset the mind of Billie Dunn, in which she needed to have her mind eased.
Her choice of words are odd if you think nothing happened, but are perfectly fitting if you believe she and Shawn Adkins killed Hailey, just like in all those serial killer and sexual homicide material that they had been collecting as their "hobby."
Did we listen to Billie Dunn when she spoke? Did we hear the change in language?
Billie Dunn, on January 5, 2011, told Nancy Grace and the all of us where were listening, that Hailey was dead.
Why should she be out searching?
Why should she tell the truth on the polygraph?
Why should she be negotiating with a kidnapper?
Why should she be speaking directly to Hailey?
Hailey was dead.
Billie Dunn told Nancy Grace and her audience that what happened to Hailey "happened while I was at work" setting up an alibi for herself. This showed her priority: she needed an alibi.
Billie Dunn attempted to hide drugs and failed polygraphs, but was tripped up and revealed that she was on drugs and had a need to beat a polygraph, through drugs, but failed.
Now, Billie Dunn herself, as seen through her own language:

Now, Billie Dunn herself, as seen through her own language:
GRACE: And so no one for sure saw Hailey from, like -- that was 6:00 AM in the morning when you left...
Nancy Grace the prosecutor, is locking the mother into her statement and asks if it is so, that no one, with certainty, saw Hailey after 6 AM that morning of which Billie Dunn agreed.
BILLIE DUNN: Yes
Nancy Grace sets it in concrete, knowing that a liar will change her statement often and will need to be locked in, so she asks again: .
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.
Not "yes", like above, but "right." "Right" to agree with the story line lifted from Carlie Bruccia's story, right along with having to choose an hour on the clock: "3 o'clock."
Right.
We shall see if Texas justice considers this "right."
