-When approached at his home in Vallecito, Mark Redwine answered the door clutching a pillow. He declined to be interviewed, saying he had been bombarded by media requests. He said he didnt have a lot of support at the moment and had family coming in to help him figure out how to respond to the situation.
-Elaine Redwine was director of financial aid at Fort Lewis College when she left for Colorado Springs this summer. She works in the same field now at Colorado College.
-Mark Redwine worked at United Pipeline Systems in April 2010 when a kitchen fire caused heavy damage to his house.

-"I can't believe you can be married to someone for 20 years and they could say those kinds of things about you," Mark Redwine told KRDO Newschannel 13.
-Mark didn't want to go on camera, and said he has avoided the media thus far because he doesn't want to interfere with the search for his son or say anything negative about his ex, with whom he said he had a messy divorce.
He said his son, "means everything to me." "I'm just trying to let the authorities do their job," he said. "My only concern right now is Dylan
-A poster with Dylan's picture is on Redwine's door, and a little boy's blue bicycle sits next to his home.
-Investigators with the La Plata County Sheriff's Office could be seen driving past the house and told KRDO Newschannel 13 they were going door-to-door talking to neighbors.

-He needs to come home and thats what everyone wants for him, said Mark Redwine. My focus is on Dylan and what he needs from us, Mark Redwine said. Thats all I have to say.

-Candles shone in the darkness as more than 150 people turned out for a vigil for missing 13-year-old Dylan Redwine on Tuesday evening at Eagle Park in Bayfield.
-The ceremony marked the first public appearance by Dylans father, Mark Redwine
who said he arrived late because he didnt know about the vigil.
-Like many who spoke, he referred to Dylan in both the present tense and the past tense, reflecting the uncertainty everyone feels about Dylans fate.
That boy was my whole world, he told the crowd. I would do anything to find him. You dont know how much I love that boy. Unfortunately, his mother and I dont see eye to eye, he said. I wish it could be different, because at a time like this, we should be together.
-A picture of a boy who was the class clown also emerged with tales of Dylan loving unicorns and teasing friends.

-Tuesday at 1:30 p.m., from the La Plata County Sheriff's Office:
-The Dylan Redwine Task Force is continuing their door-to-door canvasing of the Vallecito Lake area that they began on Nov. 27
-Using these maps, investigators are able to be sure that they check every building in the Vallecito area. There are over 20 investigators and officers from multiple departments conducting a thorough search of the area around Vallecito Lake.
-Three La Plata County Search and Rescue air-scent canines have returned to the Vallecito area to do ground searches. Articles with Dylans scent on them have been provided by Dylans mother (brought from Colorado Springs)
-Investigators are no longer looking at the possibility of Dylan being a run-away, but we still view this as a search and not a recovery effort, said Dan Bender.
-A few days ago, there was a part of a fishing pole found on the Vallecito dam and investigators have determined that it has no connection with Dylan. The owner of that broken fishing pole has been contacted and the fishing pole has been ruled out as a potential clue.
-The Task Force is asking the general public if they have any recreational video footage that includes vehicles traveling on main routes between Durango and Vallecito Lake, taken between 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 18 through noon on Monday November 19.

-"Just given the length of time (he's been gone), we're looking at other possibilities," said Durango Police Lt. Ray Shupe. "Everything from abduction to homicide."
-The Durango La Plata Crime Stoppers also has a cash reward for information leading to Dylan. Crime Stoppers can be reached at 970-247-1112.

-Investigators had considered all options, including that Dylan was a runaway. On Wednesday, however, they ruled that out.
-Factors that led to that conclusion include the absence of activity by Dylan on social media, lack of text messages to his friends and the passage of time, authorities said. He was very socially active. He had friends he texted all of the time. A typical runaway contacts his buddies and theres been none of that, Bender said
Link
-Theres a combination of factors, Bender said. Theres been the passage of time without any sightings; Dylan was not a visitor but had friends here; he has a history of staying in contact with his family and friends; and theres been
nothing on his cellphone record since he was reported missing.
-Specifically, investigators would like to talk to anyone who was taking photos or shooting videos that show vehicles along the typical routes between Vallecito and Durango from 6 p.m. Nov. 18 to noon Nov. 19. That would include County Road 501 and Florida Road (County Road 240).
-Three canine units belonging to La Plata Search and Rescue returned Wednesday to Vallecito to explore areas adjacent to the reservoir but not along the shore, Bender said.
-He said a million things were running through his head about what could have happened to his son. He said he doesnt think Dylan ran away. He has nothing and no one to run away from, Mark Redwine said. He said he will continue to stay in his house, saying he thought that was what would be best for Dylan.
-Mark Redwine said
Dylan had made tentative plans to meet friends at 6:30 a.m. Monday morning, but nothing was etched in stone. Bender said
Dylan didnt contact the friends then. Mark Redwine said he had questioned why the 13-year-old would want to wake up that early in the morning.
-Mark Redwine said he was going to give Dylan a ride to his friends house and
tried to wake him up when he left Monday morning but said Dylan was out like a light. The father said he had to go to Durango that morning to run errands and speak to his divorce lawyer.

-"I want to give thanks for the time that we have together, and -- but it's very difficult to be thankful right now," (Elaine) Redwine said.
-The distraught mother said her son's
cellphone records show the last time he used it was Sunday night at 8 p.m., and that alone is uncharacteristic.

-If he could call, he would. His cell phone and charger and various other items were in his backpack, which he supposedly had with him. Its not at his fathers house, she (mother) said.
-She said she and Dylan had
moved from near Bayfield to Colorado Springs on July 1 this year.
-She said she was
awarded sole custody of Dylan on Sept. 21. Previously she and Mark Redwine had shared custody. On
Nov. 18, Dylan flew here for his first visit with his father since that court decision, Elaine said.
