As authorities scoured the area near a Big Spring manufacturing plant where human remains were found Tuesday, the family of missing Colorado City teen Hailey Dunn waited to hear more.
"I'm actually feeling dead. I don't know what to feel," said Connie Jones, Hailey's grandmother.
Jones has been waiting more than 14 months for her granddaughter to come home.
"I'm still...2010 Christmas when she was here. That's all I see, is her being here that day," Jones said.
Attorneys for Hailey's mother, Billie Dunn, and boyfriend Shawn Adkins said the pair returned to Colorado City Wednesday. Adkins is the only named person of interest in the case.
"We've always and will always be open and prepared for any future discussions with law enforcement. And if they choose to make an arrest, then that's their decision," said Alex Eyssen, Adkins' attorney.
"We're trying not to speculate. We're trying to keep a positive outlook on things," added John Young, Dunn's attorney.
Young said his client will be staying with family in Colorado City until the investigation is complete. Until that time, all of Hailey's family will be anxiously waiting for answers.
"I just want her back so bad," Jones said.
Both attorneys confirmed Dunn and Adkins have been living in the Austin area. Young stressed although the two are in a relationship, he said they are not living together.
Young said Billie Dunn was in contact with law enforcement Wednesday.
