I'm going back trying to look at the communication Dylan had (supposedly) once at his dad's house. Mom's last contact w/him was Sunday evening when he texted her that he arrived safely and ended text msg w/"scowl face". This may be far -fetched but I'm wondering if dad's house being in woodsy isolated area possibly didn't have cell reception? Any at all or good cell reception? I've lived in places where there is none and they're far less desolate than what I understand the father's area to be like. Just keeping an open mind maybe Dylan threw some of his things in a bag and went for a walk trying to get reception.
Otherwise there's some 'splainin to do between Sunday at 8pm and 7:30am if Dad's account if true. What was Dylan doing during those 11 1/2 hours? Was he just hanging out? Did he go outside? Do they have a yard? Did they talk (I get the feeling they didn't)? Did he bring Xbox or gameboy or whatever the kids use these days? As has been asked already, does dad have home computer?
I'd love to know if Dad has allowed LE to go through the home, vehicles, phones (cell/landline), computer/internet, etc. or has required search warrants. Wouldn't we all love to know...
Anything is possible. But I still don't understand why Dad has spoken to reporters; perhaps he has been told not to....
That's a good point about the reception. It would be interesting to hear from people in that area about whether or not that's an issue.
Has there been discussion of a last cell ping or usage history? I imagine he shares a plan with his Mom - should be able to get access.
oh, from ground search the dogs hit, then they started the water search? is that right? but was it just a routine ground search or a tip or what that lead to this particular area. that is what is confusing to me
Absolutely.. Any locals able to weigh in on cell reception in or around the area?
I know whenever I'm in a location with poor or non-existant reception, whether it be a hotel, business trip, friend's home I take a walk til I get reception so I can check in with family and friends. Occasionally I'll lose track of time and will be out for longer than expected. It's possible if Dylan was upset or angry and determined to talk with someone, he strayed too far and got into a bad situation. jmo
Just got back from my daily hike. All I can say is, being the end of November, it is in the hands of God that the weather is so beautiful right now to aid in the search for Dylan!
Indeed. But the father would have to explore all possibilities in his frantic search, and due to the recent discussion about going to the friends house, it would make sense to check (incase, say the friend called and said, "My mom can pick you up", etc.)
Dylan's trip to see friends could also have been postponed bc he didn't do his chores, or something, I don't know, just playing devil's advocate.
The no phone activity after 8 is odd though.
Hey all. For what its worth, I grew up about 40 miles west of Durango and used to go to Vallecito to hang out at the lake. Granted this was in the late 1990's and early 2000's but from what I can remember the cell service in that area was almost non-existent. I do not know if they have done any up grading of the towers since than but I would assume that at least some progress has been made and that service has probably improved in the last decade.
