Episode 117: Hailey Dunn's Disappearance and Murder


Listen Later

There are several times in this episode I say "Casey" unintentionally. I am referring to Shawn CASEY Adkins.

On December 27, 2010, a 13 year old girl of Mitchell County, Texas disappeared. She was last seen leaving her mother’s house to go hang out with a friend. But she never showed up. It wouldn’t be until March 16, 2013 Hailey’s remains were recovered. 8 years later, a man by the name of Shawn Casey Adkins would be arrested for her murder, who at the time of the disappearance had been dating her mother. He was given a prison sentence but recently on June 26, 2023, Shawn Adkins was released due to lack of evidence. Her death would shake Mitchell County and leave her family heartbroken and desperate for answers. So what happened to her? And will there ever be justice?

This is Hailey Dunn murder case.
