Shawn Adkins Arrested

 


Is Billie Jean Dunn next? 

Will he seek a deal? 

Both were deceptive and Billie Jean worked diligently to cover for Adkins.  

She failed her polygraph and indicated knowledge of Hailey's death long before her body was found.

She deceived the police to protect Adkins.

In interviews, she did most of the talking and was indicated for deception consistently. 

Nancy Grace caught her in several lies, as well as admitting having a New Year's Eve party a few days after Hailey was reported missing. 

Both must face justice. She covered for Adkins, including talking him into drugging before their polygraphs. 

They share guilt.  Adkins likely did the murder, but Dunn participated in the cover up.

I transcribed some of the second video I linked before:

Reporter: Can you let us know what you and your family are experiencing at this time?

Father: Well… we really appreciate that outpouring of love. And never seen so many good people in one place at one… you know, we just really appreciate everybody trying to help. That they have law enforcement and all these volunteers that are here, I’ve never seen anything like this in my entire life. Just pray that, that God… in his awesome power for his, for his names sake will please let Summer be OK. And please come home.

Reporter: I can’t imagine how you`ve been feeling these last couple of days.

Father: Yeah, it’s been rough, but we know, you know, we believe in the resurrection. I`ve never seen so many Christians in one place in my life, like I say that’s pretty awesome to see that. I just hop god in his mercy`s will deliver Summer home to us.

Reporter: It’s pretty unlikely for something for her to do to walk off like that?

Father: Yeah, she wouldn’t, she wouldn’t do that. We even had one of our neighbours’ say they pulled up in their driveway and she ran to the door. You know so, we, we warn her all the time there’s Bears, and other… things you know. We try to warn our kids about all these things all the time.

Reporter: And can you tell as little bit about what Summer was doing that afternoon or evening?

Father: She was planting flowers with her mother and her grandmother, and she wanted to go into the house. So my wife watched her go into the, door, and she went into the house, and the boys were on the internet of course, and she wanted to go downstairs and play with her toys. So when her mother come in and she says where’s Summer, she went down into the basement… cause she didn’t answer so she went down there and she was gone. So she went out the basement door, which was unlocked, and we haven’t seen her since.

Reporter: And so then then the boys, when she walked in the house, about what time was that?

Father: I`m not sure 5:30, 6:00, I`m not sure.

Reporter: Not knowing what happened do you have any kind of a gut feeling about it, do you have any kind of an instinct feeling about it?

Father: I wish I did. Just some bad person grabbed her, but we have no idea. The FBI and Police have covered every single base, everything that anybody can think of
they`ve covered.

Reporter: What would you say to people, you know, as your searching what are you asking from other people. I know there so many prayers coming out, right now is there anything else you want to ask the community and the public?

Father: I just want to thank everybody for your outpouring of love. That’s all.

Another, quite long though edited audio interview of Summer Wells’ father:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XehHtE4f0IE

——

Summer’s mother is on TikTok as Canduswells - - besides glimpses into their Ives, there’s a missing poster - “My baby girl mommy and daddy misses you so much we are searching everywhere for and I won’t stop until I find you.”

Hey Jude said...

Summer is such a little waif, barefoot, shaved head - wha happened to her?

Did father say in one of these clips that they were “beating their brains out” worrying where she was?

He was in work when Summer went missing and they go to church on Sundays. He seems resigned to a bad outcome - no real hope there. Why does he speak of torture?


N said...

Yes I just came on here to ask about summer wells , as soon as I heard the dad made a statement I had to go straight to this blog after watching a few videos online news that didn’t explain the whole story . After watching about 10 short videos and piecing the story together -
5 year old girl barefoot outside helping mom & grandma garden. Wants to go inside. Goes inside to the basement where her toys are kept ?, mom says she watched her go in. ( Is there only 1 door to the basement ? Then how did they not see someone come out or going in to take her of her leaving.) Mom goes in later & doesn’t get an answer , searches can’t find her. Says her boys were on the internet. Doesn’t mention if they heard or saw anything. So I just see dad on tv and he’s extremely calm and sounds a tad rehearsed just telling the same story over and over again his wife told him. Why isn’t the mom pleading for her daughter I can’t find her on tv. Just the dad next to his son with his head down. Girl in pictures looks a tad unkempt and some photos she’s overly excited and others she’s staring blankly at the camera like somethings wrong. Wondering if parents have a criminal background , ever had cps involved .. or any neglect. Very odd to me it’s dad speaking and not mom since she was the last one to see her and dad wasn’t even there. Wonder what the kids told police

N said...

Can there be a separate blog here made for summer wells it’s going on day 5 , also since mom has tiktok maybe we should all go through her videos before and after the “kidnapping” and transcribe her videos

"...we believe in the resurrection."
Could this be leakage?

Hey Jude said...

OT: Summer Wells

That he was at work is sensitive to Summer’s father as he references it at least three times in the longer interview. Was he possibly not at work, or is the sensitivity maybe because Summer might not have disappeared if he had been at home - or is there some other reason? Seems unnecessary detail to describe how he threw his tools, or some of them, in his truck, rather than just state he came home.

Is there an element of blame towards the sons because in one interview they were “on the internet, of course” and in the longer interview because they were “watching YouTube” when Summer is said to have gone indoors and down to the basement. In one interview she “wanted” to go downstairs to play with her toys, in the other she went downstairs.

I wonder was there anyone else resident beside the parents and children, or visiting, who could have taken Summer from the basement, and away in a vehicle, as her scent was lost at the end of the drive?

Of concern, even if a man of faith, and a “commandment follower” is his reference to believing and waiting for the resurrection - this seems a strong indicator that he believes Summer is dead. He also seems concerned for her soul - because she didn’t understand all that church stuff - which could be a type of victim blaming, or just as he states, hope that she has peace of mind, which he maybe (as he speaks of it next) places in the context of torture, and what anyone might be going through - it could reveal his expectation that Summer has been abducted and murdered? He may be hoping that if she went through hell, she was at least able to anticipate heaven?

His tone is flat and steady, no emotion - as if he is already resigned to Summer’s death.

Why is he alone, not able to be alone, and so seeking company from the police? Where is the family? Is he maybe seeking more information about the investigation than he has been given?

Also noted, praise of police/searchers when Summer has not been found.

It is concerning to hear in the different interviews, “beating our brains out” and the church people who “love her to death”
Does he suspect a church person - maybe wish to throw suspicion in that direction?

He uses Summer’s name, but he expresses no real hope for her - makes no appeal, expresses no concern for a living child, lost or abducted - the distancing concern “for anyone” is not quite Summer, though it could be? In the least, it shows what is on his mind, which fear would be on the mind of any parent whose child had been abducted.

I don’t know if he believes it, or if he “knew she was gone” when he saw the neighbours searching means he knew she was dead, and that it happened at or close to home by the usual suspect/s.

Will we hear from the grandmother, or mother, in whose care Summer was said to be?

Hey Jude said...

N - the TikToks are what might be termed extraneous information - Summer is the leanest, least shod, least dressed of the children, also the one with the closest shaved head - they appear to live in some squalor, and the tree swing looks like it could cause a broken shoulder or a cracked skull if mis swung - the rope is so close to the trunk. Summer’s condition, and the living conditions might raise some concern. There’s not much dialogue, so probably not much value SA wise. The mother’ chooses to post - if she only posts the best bits, as many people do, I wonder what the rest is like.

Peter said he’ll analyse when the father appeals to the kidnapper - so, probably in for a long wait. It would be such an afterthought if he appealed after already giving interviews.

frommindtomatter said...

A five year old in a basement unsupervised for an unknown/undisclosed amount of time isn’t a good situation. The mother allegedly outside the house and therefore unable to even hear her child playing speaks to neglect in my opinion. Accidents happen, and if one did - for example choking on small toy parts, coming into contact with incorrectly stored chemicals or even an electric shock from faulty wiring or an appliance, it would mean no aid could be given to the child leaving her in a possible life threatening situation until someone eventually arrived.

The missing appeals or statements from the mother stand out due to their absence. This leaves a second hand account of the alleged disappearance from the father which I find very problematic.

I transcribed below from a portion of this interview –

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XehHtE4f0IE

“Summer said [all of a sudden] [I] want to go in the house. She said fine. And her brothers were in there watching YouTube, and [so] she watched her [walk] in the [door] and went in there. And her brothers said that she`s [gonna go] downstairs and play with her toys. [So] she went down stairs, and [then] Mom came in and said where’s Summer? [Well she’s downstairs] playing with her toys. And she had to holler for her and there was no answer so she went [down the stairs], and she was [nowhere] to be found. Err, she went out the basement door. The door was unlocked, and, but she`s never left there. She might be on the other side of the house, cause I went out there before and called for her and she come out from behind the house cause she, she just has to be outside, and she`s, she`s an outside type, type of person.

“Summer said [all of a sudden] [I] want to go in the house.”

The use of “all of a sudden” speaks to something happening quickly without warning. This seems artificially placed in the statement. If she had wanted an ice cream would he have reported Summer all of a sudden she said she wanted an ice cream, or simply that Summer said she wanted an ice cream? He seems to be inserting drama into his statement at a point where there isn’t any, or it isn’t needed.

Also we see him acting by quoting what Summer had said – “I want to go in the house”.

His is allegedly a second hand statement based on information given to him from his wife and it is expected he will report it from that perspective, that being that he wasn’t actually there. His statement -

“Summer said all of a sudden [I] want to go in the house.”

The expected-

“Summer said all of a sudden [she] wanted to go in the house.”

Even without analysis it sounds off when reading it. He allegedly wasn’t there so why act out the quote from Summer?

Adrian.

Summer’s mother in comments on TikTok tree-swing video:

“She was a very happy little girl and we miss and love her so much.”

——


Summer’s father, in a more recent clip, again edited, in which both parents are present:

“According to her, and to everyone that was at my house, I mean they were planting flowers at her grandmother’s old trailer and she said she wanted to go into the house - and she let her - she watched her - she walked into the front door -

—-

...it’s everything, without God and these - these people, and you know, that’s other churches too, as well who’ve been supporting us...all, all church family - it’s very - I can’t - that’s the most important thing to me now.

—-

We all love you very much and miss you, Summer.”


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1vio8ZSUlU

—-

There are a lot of negative TikTok comments on the mother’s use of the past tense. It’s not necessarily an inappropriate use as Summer has been missing for days and can’t be described as happy in these circumstances.

The father is allowing us to know he doubts what he says is his wife’s account, as “according to her” and, in earlier statements, “she said” suggests he holds doubt about what she (possibly) said - he’s not just repeating it as though he necessarily believes it himself. As we have not heard from Summer’s mother herself we don’t know what she said or knows.

The support of the church family is most important to him now - more than finding Summer? He possibly believes that Summer will not be found., .otherwise that she is found would be the most important thing to him. Why could finding Summer be less important than the support of the church family?

Does he not want or expect Summer to be found? In an earlier interview he made the odd comment about his missing sister-in-law that “not a trace of her was found either”, which sounds as if he had already precluded the possibility of any trace being found of Summer, even whilst intensive search efforts are underway.

He still hasn’t appealed to the kidnapper, which idea he introduced, to return Summer. Has he said anywhere, so far, that all he wants is for Summer to be found?

Hey Jude said...

He’s speaking for his wife, the story is not being believed, he’s hedging - “ she said”, “according to her”.

Did they make the story together and because it’s not holding up he’s doubting ‘her’ story, or did he make the story but his wife declines to tell it, or does he just not believe what he really was told?
—-
They gave the police and/or media photos of Summer with longer hair - but as her head has been shorn, those photos don’t reflect her appearance. If really the photos could help anyone find her, they’d have given current photos. Which parent gave the out of date photos?

——
Social media has it that Summer’s bedroom was in the basement.

I’m not sure I believe the flower planting - yes, the grandma planted pots, and she has also told a version of the story, but they don’t seem much the planting flowers type.

What’s the relevance of the boys being on the internet, “of course”, and watching YouTube, were they meant to watch their sister? Or is this a narrative they have been given, reinforced by repetition in front of the tv camera?

OT: Donald Wells, June 21

“I think it’s really tough on the - on all the people out here that are missing Fathers’ Day, and it’s getting - putting - making them a little bit edgy, and we’re a little bit edgy, my wife is really edgy and it’s getting tougher, I think, for everybody.”

Interviewer says DCS has helped children work through the trauma

“They’re kind of fighting more than usual and stuff, and they got into it first thing this morning and the team come running up the hill - they heard screams and so I’ve been trying to keep it down”

Of Summer’s mother::

“She - she’s been frantic - I mean, she’s - she’s having a hard time. She’ll be okay for a little bit and then - and then she’s up and down. “

Does he think Summer is still alive?

“Really I - don’t know. Hopefully, yes - depending on how bad, or what’s going on with her - I mean, we hope - there’s always hope.”

Also, on WJHL Facebook page, reporter says Summer’s mother declines to appear on camera, but has now given a different version of events - that she went inside the house for a few minutes, left Summer outside, and when she went outside Summer was gone. They are hoping Candus will decide to speak on camera .

Billy-Jean Dunn should be held to account as at least as guilty as Adkins, in preferring him and colluding with him, and for so many years, against justice for Hailey.

It will be interesting to see if Adkins holds Dunn in equal esteem.

This is interesting. The statement of Joe Franco, a known Jimmy Hoffa associate, speaking as an eyewitness to his last know sighting. This is a completely different account that the widely discredited one that was the basis for the movie The Irishman.

I had a meeting that afternoon up in Flint, and the Red Fox shopping center was on the way and I stopped off there to take care of some personal business having to do with my wife, Leslie, who I was busting up with at the time. It was starting to get late and I was getting worried that I was going to be an hour late for lunch and the meeting and everything when I spotted Hoffa. He was standing and walking around near his car like a bantam rooster. I sure as hell didn't want him to see me. Because if he'd have seen me there, he'd have said, "Franco, what the hell are you doing here?" and he'd have been thinking I was following him. or spying on him or something. And I knew if he started to question me and I told him I was there because of personal business having to do with Leslie, he would have been real pissed because he took a liking to her and Jimmy was very moral, he was a family man and he just couldn't stomach divorced and bad scenes between husbands and wives. It wasn't his thing.



So I just stayed where I was, wondering how long I could hang around before I had to head out for Flint. And I could see that Jim was waiting for someone, and I figured, from what he told me out at the lake when we met, that he was waiting for the guy to deliver the documentation he was expecting that he could take to court and have all restrictions against him lifted.



I knew I couldn't hang around much longer or he sure as hell would spot me. So I was getting ready to head out when a car drove up to him. It was a black Ford LTD, four door. There was a black driver and two white guys, and these guys got out. There were typical Ivy Leaguers, with sport jackets, and shirts and ties, and you could see they were either federal marshals or federal agents, one of the two. Being in the business as long as I been in the business, it doesn't take too much for to smell it or see it. I can tell right away unless the guy is really underground and really disguising himself. But you knew right away these two guys were either marshals or agents.



Now Jimmy was standing there, ready to get into his car like he was going to take off when this black Ford pulled up in front of him. Those two white guys got out and they went into their pockets and they came flashing their wallets, and you could see the identification tags were coming out form both of them. IT was all done very quietly and smoothly an very professionally. They flashed their identification an they said something to Jim, which, knowing how they work, was probably, "We're with the government and here is our ID's and we've got some questions, we'd like to ask you, so would you pleased come with us, "And Jim would have gone, because was used to that kind of thing. It happened all the time.



He got back into the back of the car, with these two guys, and they took off. There wasn't no trouble or anything. They headed up toward Pontiac and I tagged after them a little way and then I turned off to Flint.

That was the last I saw of him.

Summer Well's father has a thing for doors. None of these references to doors seem necessary.

"...they pulled up in their driveway and she ran to the door."

"So my wife watched her go into the, door, and she went into the house."

"...and she let her - she watched her - she walked into the front door -"

"And her brothers were in there watching YouTube, and so she watched her walk in the door and went in there."

"So she went out the basement door, which was unlocked, and we haven’t seen her since."

"Err, she went out the basement door. The door was unlocked, and, but she`s never left there."

What's the significance of the repeated statement that she walked INTO the door, rather than through it?

Also, what is the significance of saying she went out the basement door "but she's never left"?

I also notice that she either ran or walked IN, but she did not walk out.

OT Update:

Dylan Redwine: Prosecutors say dad murdered son who confronted him on ‘private’ & embarrassing photos

Prosecutors in the Dylan Redwine case said Monday that a Colorado man murdered his own son over embarrassing, unsavory photos.

Mark Redwine, the divorced father of 13-year-old Dylan, is on trial in Denver for allegedly murdering his son and hiding the child’s remains in the woods. On Monday, prosecutors alleged that Redwine killed in a fit of rage over photos showing him dressed in women’s underwear while eating feces from a diaper.

Does the basement hold any significance?
Is this where the kids spent most of their time?
Is it where Mum and Dad kept them as punishment or time out.?

The basement and doors locked/unlocked are sensitive.

frommindtomatter said...

Some analysis I made on a quote by the father of Summer Wells.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_daSAxtXNQI (6 min 50s into clip)

Reporter: Do you remember what your last memory was of summer, what y`all were doing?

Father: long pause….. ahmm… err.. [Probably] the night before. She, she wanted to twirl… she wanted me, I [just] [hold] her hand while she twirled, [cause] that’s what she, she [considered] herself a ballerina or a princess kind of thing, you know.

He takes a long pause before answering the reporter’s question, revealing the question is a difficult one for which he needs a lot of time to come up with an answer. The first word he says is “Probably”, which signals weakness in the words which follow. He is allowing that what he is going to say may not be accurate. He says – “Probably the night before” and we see from his use of “probably” this is something he is not willing to commit to.

The information a person gives and in what order is important as it reveals what their priorities are. The reporter asked the question “what” was his last memory of Summer, it was only after a long pause for thought that he finally answered. We find his priority is not an actual memory (she wanted to twirl), but instead his first thought is regarding time. This means he gives the timing more importance than the actual memory of his daughter. We know the timing is problematic as he used weakness when referencing it. We expect the father would remember the last time he saw his daughter in light of her being missing, it may be something which is running through his mind often as it is the last connection he has to her.

“She, [she] wanted to twirl… she wanted [me],[ I] [just] [hold] her hand while she twirled”

What happens next could be very important in regards to what happened to Summer. If we break down the statement we find –

“she wanted [me]”, - He doesn’t complete this statement, he has a need to censor it. What did she want him to do? His need to self-censor signals the information he was giving was sensitive and it caused him to stop mid delivery.

[I] [just] [hold] her hand while she twirled”

The shortest sentence is best, extra unnecessary words yield extra information. The extra word here is “just”. It isn’t needed and has been inserted for a reason. It is here to minimise an action, and is connected to “hold her hand”. Note “hold” is present tense an inappropriate which suggests story telling. We see the father has a need to minimise what he did while she twirled. The simplest sentence would be - I held her hand while she twirled – but that is not what he said. He wants us to know “I just hold” which tells us he is thinking about something else in comparison against just holding. This is important because he self-censored regarding what Summer wanted him to do and then moved to minimise his actions. It is possible Summer wanted him to spin her round by holding her hands so her feet were off the floor. If that was the case and she lost her grip it could have ended in a serious accident/ trauma.

“I [just] [hold] her hand while she twirled, [cause] that’s what she, she [considered] herself a ballerina”

We see the highest sensitivity word “cause” is used by the father to justify why he held her hand. Why would he need to justify that? Note at the end of his statement he tells us that “she considered herself a ballerina”. He has now referenced his daughter in the past tense through his use of the word “considered” which is unexpected. He doesn’t allow that she still considers herself a ballerina which in context of the situation (missing child) points to him having knowledge she is no longer able to do so. That can only be explained if he knows or believes she is deceased.
