Marc Klaas, the father of a murder victim who visited Colorado City earlier this year, said Hailey's mother should be ashamed of herself. Klaas said Billie Dunn held back information from law enforcement about pornography being in her home.
Klaas is the creator of Klaaskids, a group that's helped lead and organize search efforts for the missing 13-year-old Colorado City teen.
"I think everything is open for question," added Klaas.
Klaas said he doesn't believe Billie Dunn is clueless and was likely aware of what was happening in her home. Klaas said he's "stunned" by the new developments in the case.
Throughout the broadcast, the "Nancy Grace" show played numerous video clips you've seen on KTAB and KRBC over the past few weeks and updated nationwide viewers on recent developments in the case. It's been numerous weeks since "Nancy Grace" covered Hailey's case.
TruTV's Jean Casarez filled in on the anchor desk for Grace Friday.
Reporter Michael Board described the nature of the pornographic images discovered on a Dell computer in the home of Shawn Adkins' mother as well as a memory stick confiscated from Billie Dunn's home. Board noted the images included child porn and bestiality.
Board reported the case will likely go to a grand jury. Board went on to say Shawn Adkins and Billie Dunn could face anywhere from 2-20 years behind bars if convicted of a crime related to the child pornography discovery.
In response to why an arrest hadn't been made on child pornography charges, defense attorney Joey Jackson said strategy may be involved.
"Look, we need to keep our eye on the prize," said Jackson. "If the prize is finding and detecting where Hailey is, then perhaps they should exercise some restraint until they're absolutely sure. Ultimately, the police will do what's just and what's right and what's appropriate."
Reporter Michael Board also cited a Colorado City spokesperson as telling him four landfills across the Big Country have been searched in this case. Board reported no evidence had been discovered.
Hailey Dunn reportedly vanished December 27, 2010. Sunday marks two months since she disappeared from her home in Colorado City.
