On Thursday night, Hailey Dunn's grandmother, Connie Jones told Nancy Grace, on her HLN show, that she never trusted Shawn Adkins' story, or his relationship with the teen.
"We get along just fine," said Adkins in an interview January 4th, regarding him and Hailey.
"She don't [sic] like Shawn being there," said Jones in a later interview.
Adkins is the only suspect named, at this time, but the investigation is far from over.
"The investigation is pursuing other people of interest," said City Manager Pete Kampfer from Colorado City.
"I never would've thought he could have anything to do with Hailey's disappearance or could ever hurt her," admitted Billie Dunn.
"I love him," added Dunn, "I worry what if he did do something to Hailey. I'm the one who let him in here."
Since he was interviewed last week, Adkins has evaded the media spotlight, giving only one interview and he said the same message, he's said all along; that he wants to see Hailey home safely.
