Hailey Dunn, a 13-year-old from Colorado City, Texas, vanished on December 27, 2010, after telling her mother she was going to a friend’s house. Her disappearance sparked a massive search, but her remains weren’t discovered until 2013, near Lake J.B. Thomas. Years of investigation focused on Shawn Adkins, her mother’s boyfriend, who was charged with her murder in 2021. However, in 2023, charges were dropped, citing insufficient evidence. Documents revealed Hailey suffered blunt-force trauma, fueling outrage over the lack of justice.
Join Arlene and Leah as they dive into Hailey's case, reviewing the evidence and theories.
