(CBS/AP) COLORADO CITY, Texas - Billie Jean Dunn, mother of the West Texas middle school cheerleader Hailey Dunn who was reported missing almost three months ago, is set to appear in court Friday on charges of hindering apprehension and prosecution, possession of dangerous drugs and obstructing justice.

Dunn reported 13-year-old Hailey missing on Dec. 28. The mother's former live-in boyfriend previously was named a person of interest in the case.
