Hailey Dunn 13 Denied Amber Alert Poem by Luke Easter

Teenage cheerleader has disappeared in a small Texas town,
And while her family, friends and local police scurry around,
Colorado City Police Chief John Bivins says no Amber Alert,
Officials say her case doesn’t meet the criteria & if she’s hurt?

The state of Texas has certain guidelines to follow in this case,
You mean missing over a week is not enough to post her face?
3 requests by the local police department, all have been denied,
They have been told there's not enough information that is why.

Minimum standard for creating an Amber Alert is knowledge,
Of a suspect, vehicle description and direction, is this College?
Are cops supposed to get 90% or better on some kind of exam?
Sorry but we failed the test so we cannot look for your kid Mam.

Colorado City, population of 4000, is 70 miles west of Abilene,
And the afternoon of December 27, is when she was last seen,
Told mom’s boyfriend she was spending the night with a friend,
As certainly no one could ever imagine never seeing her again.

Hailey did not make it to the friend’s and no one knows where,
But biggest mystery here is that the state doesn’t seem to care,
Criteria? Now there is an abduction manual for perverts to use?
Of course the longer they wait the more contaminated the clues.

The friend Hailey was to be staying with said they made no plans,
Does that not mean someone is lying, what’s there to understand?
Cops, Texas Rangers, Sheriff’s Deputies have conducted a search,
However, should not a nationwide picture of Hailey be shown first?

Friday, police bloodhound picked up her scent, parking lot, motel,
Ground floor room, near her home, last clue, nothing more to tell,
For evidence, thorough search,24 rooms with a fine tooth comb,
Nothing new to report except that this little girl is out there alone.

Review of the motel’s surveillance tapes failed to produce any leads,
Assistance from the state of Texas, Amber Alert, is what they need,
Polygraph to Shawn Adkins the boyfriend of her mother, Billie Dunn,
No results yet but if he’s not involved, suspect(s) are still on the run?

Hailey is described as 5'2',120 pounds, with hazel eyes & brown hair,
Plus she has a smile the size of Texas also blond streaks hear and there,
Although that grin is probably not functioning under her circumstance,
Let’s make every effort to give Hailey & all of those like her a chance.

The only reason crimes like this happen is because perverts know,
Organization and initial response is a snail’s pace, damn that’s slow,
Oh, move heaven and earth by building a billion $$ sports complex,
However, a missing middle school cheerleader hey, what the heck?

Local government, unlike state authorities are putting in their time,
But I’ll bet you at the next election they’ll be your friend and mine,
Shouldn’t mitigating circumstances always be allowed to over ride?
Any guidelines giving the guilty additional time for evidence to hide?

From the sincerest hearts in and out of Texas sympathy is poured,
What started out as 10 has now multiplied into a 25 grand reward,
Billboards are posting her pictures the family doesn’t have to buy,
Even those famed Texas Rangers but not the state, I wonder why?

Investigators were seen searching Hailey’s house on Chestnut Street,
As well as their outdoor shed but what if everything is tidy and neat?
Bottom line, they are certain of foul play as they continue the search,
Seeking helicopters, money, Cowboy’s tickets? Just an Amber Alert.
