COLORADO CITY — The search for 13-year-old Hailey Darlene Dunn, missing for more than a week, continued Thursday with help from the FBI and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers.
A DPS helicopter assisted in the search Thursday afternoon, officials said.
Meanwhile, Hailey's mother, Billie Jean Dunn, told CNN television personality Nancy Grace that both she and her boyfriend, Shawn Adkins, had failed polygraph tests. She alluded that both she and her boyfriend had been on medication, which may have skewed the results.
There is definitely anticipation in the air at Howard College this year.
Trepidation, too.
As Howard heads toward a notable anniversary, officials say there's much to celebrate in 2011, but there's a few things to worry about, as well.

While officials at the U.S. Internal Revenue Service scramble to prepare for the 2011 tax season, one local woman and her troop of volunteers are well on their way to helping residents file their 2010 tax returns.

• ASHLEY ANN GONZALEZ, 23, 1424 E. Sixth, was arrested on charges of driving while license suspended/invalid with previous conviction, failure to maintain financial responsibility, and failure to appear.
