Guns, knives, and drugs plastered all over the internet with Shawn Adkins face.
With the recent discovery of some youtube videos, tt appears the suspect is heavily involved with these types of activities.
A warning, some of the sites and sounds of the video you are about to see may be disturbing to some viewers.
Some new images of what appears to be Shawn Adkins getting high on a boat. Facebook users say they are disturbed with what they see.
In a seperate youtube video, it appears that Adkins is holding a giant knife with some type of animal heart in the opposite hand. The text on top of this image includes profanity, but basically says, "If you mess with us...We'll remove your heart."
"What it looked like to me was two kids were playing trying to act as if they were bad," says Dr. Marc Orner.
Orner watched both videos and doesn't believe the contents pose an inherent threat to anyone,"Of course, anybody can all of a sudden act out and do something violent, but something like that just looks like some kids are trying to be stupid."
Whether or not these videos have anything to do with the disappearance of Hailey Dunn, Dr. Orner says they likely will be a useful tool for law enforcement, "They would use that to try and get a better understanding of the individual and it would give them something to answer more questions."
Dr. Orner also adds that people should not pass judgement on these two videos because there could be more even more incriminating ones or that these could completely harmless.

At the very least, the video shows that Atkins has no problem cutting the heart out of an animal. Many would find this sickening. Any normal person would not do it with any joy. But he enjoys it. Many serial killers start out torturing and killing animals, and then move up. I would not be surprised if Hailey was not his first victim.
