Law enforcement is now searching landfills across the Big Country, including one in Abilene, for any evidence in the disappearance of 13-year-old Hailey Dunn.

You can watch video of the search in the embedded player.

Sgt. Craig Jordan, with the Abilene Police Department, says officers and forensic investigators are currently searching Allied Waste Services in connection with the Dunn case. Jordan would not elaborate.

Law enforcement sources tell us cadaver dogs were believed to be on site.

Trash from Colorado City is transferred to Abilene, Odessa, or Snyder, Colorado City's City Manager Pete Kampfer said.

Texas DPS Senior Trooper Sparky Dean says many landfills in the vacinity of Colorado City have already been searched. Dean said searches of this nature are not uncommon in missing persons cases that may involve criminal activity.

An officer with the Abilene Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division was seen leaving Allied Waste Services Friday afternoon. When asked for a comment about why he was there, the officer told KTAB News all questions must be referred to Sparky Dean.

Earlier today, bigcountryhomepage.com spoke with someone at Abilene Environmental Landfill who said law enforcement contacted them and determined a search of their facility wasn't applicable. The person we spoke with said he believed a search was happening at Allied Waste.
