CO - Dylan Redwine, 13, Vallecito, 19 Nov 2012 - #2

[jjenny]

OK a week, my son can pack for a week(age 15)to go out of state to visit, in the winter time, and get it all in his packpack. I have seen him do it many times, plus pack books,and kindle.

So if he spend the night there, where are the sheets, blankets, pillows that he used? Toothbrush? Comb?

My Dylan is a couple years younger than DR, so maybe he'll get better but he would try to wear the same jeans more than once (probably more than twice if I didn't get after him about it).

Shupe says the police are aware of an allegation made by Dylan's mother against his father in this case.

Shupe says they are not ruling Dylan's father out as a person of interest nor are they calling him a person of interest at this point.

So we are at least all on the same page, doesn't appear they have really ruled anyone out at this point, or for that matter ruled them in.

Nope no one ruled out or in it seems which sadly makes me think they really dont know what happened to Dylan.

How could they not be aware of her allegations.........LE always keeps up with what is being said in the media.

I doubt anyone will be ruled out before they find Dylan. Most LE doesnt. It rare for anyone to be ruled out beforehand. It happens occasionally but not often.

Okay, fair enough. I understand that he felt the need to respond to the things she said. I just personally wish that somewhere in this we were seeing a scared, worried, caring dad. Just MOO of course.

I completely agree. In all honesty I suspect that every arrow Mom slung was a bullseye but I think she should have held off on slinging them because if she is wrong she can't take them back.

I find it bizarre that there apparently was nothing of the child's available for the dogs to track him. Didn't he bring clothes are other things with him? Where are all those things? What about the clothes he came in with? He didn't change any of his clothes or shoes? He didn't use sheets, pillows, etc?

When my boys go stay with their dad, I always pack clean, freshly laundered clothes for them to take, so if Dylan's mum did the same, there probably aren't any clothes with his scent on. And lots of boys of 13 aren't that fussy about what they wear - my kids would probably drop their clothes onto a chair in the bedroom when they went to bed, then get up and put them straight back on the next day, so possibly Dylan was wearing the clothes he traveled in - the only clothes with his scent on?

However, I can't come up with a theory for the lack of bedding.

I feel the need to point out (again) that the mother being granted sole custody could have occurred for any number of reasons, one of those POSSIBLE reasons being the fact that she moved 295 miles away. Sure, there are other POSSIBLE reasons, but we can't just leap from "mother has sole custody" to "father is a bad bad man."

We don't know the reason (unless I missed someone posting something from MSM that states otherwise.)

Yes, I dont find anything sinister about that at all. Our daughter in law was given sole custody because her ex moved far away. In fact he agreed to it because it was in the best interest of the children. He is a great father and he flies the two children out in the summertime to be with him and his family for two months.

He also can have them during either Thanksgiving or Christmas week but its too far for him to come so he just has them in the summer.

uh oh....she is referring to Dylan in the past tense.

I don't read much into that... she's out of her mind with grief and worry and who knows what else, not knowing where on earth her baby is and what condition he's in. I give her credit for being able to even form sentences and for actually speaking about her son and keeping him in the news, with the passion and emotion that only a mother (or father) could convey...

She's said so much as it's getting hard to hold out hope so it doesn't surprise me that she may be going back and forth between past and present tense.

We don't really know for sure that Dylan slept on anything the night he arrived at Dad's. In fact, I am not aware of any verification that Dylan ever arrived at Dad's home. All we have is the text saying his plane arrived and Dylan's dad's account of what happened after that. The information coming from him doesn't add up for me.

Even if Dylan was at Dad's home for a few hours, there would be something to use as a scent item...a cup or bottle of water, a towel used to dry his hands, video game controls, tv remote, etc.

MOO

Didn't Dylan text friends and make plans for the next day? tia

Could be that he didn't use them, no adult to tell him too. Also could be that he packed em up in hopes he was going to his friends when he left....as for the fishing pole, yet again, not sure of that one...because taking everything he has with him and a fishing pole doesn't sound right given the distance to travel, with them.

Lol, my son is 12 and has to be forced to pack clothes when he goes to the grandparents for the weekend. If I don't swoop in the bathroom and grab his dirty clothes while he is in the shower he will put the darn things right back on.

My oldest is a couple days from 17 and he changes clothes 3-4 times a day.

If Dad is refusing to communicate with Mom <modsnip> She rightfully has questions that only he knows the answers to and she deserves those answers. But Mom doesn't get a free pass to sling accusations at Dad in the media because he won't talk to her. Someone has to be the adult and put Dylan first. It doesn't help Dylan to have his parents slinging arrows at each other. It muddies the water and takes the focus off of finding him.

I wonder if Mom's comments to MSM about Dad were part of a strategy to help drum out where Dylan is. Just surmising that there's a small chance LE instructed Mom to give that kind of interview, for some specific, tactical purpose....

No adult to tell him to? What about the father? Did the kid sleep on the bare floor or something?

I doubt that.

She is opening herself up to a lawsuit if he has not harmed his child.

I dont think LE would have any part in accusing someone without evidence and its obvious that LE still does not know what happened to Dylan.

Do you really believe that the mother would go that far, to practically distroy what relationship her children do have with her ex husband for the sole purpose of making LE happy?

 

[Gardenlady]

Who on earth would sue a mother who is obviously out of her mind with worry because her son is missing?

If he can't see that, and would sue her, then maybe he is the jerk she believes him to be?

Has it said he slept with no sheets? I havent read that. Knowing teenage boys he could have fell asleep watching tv on the sofa.

But I have never seen them use sheets to get a scent sample for the tracking dogs anyway. They always want an article of clothing that he has worn that hasnt been washed ...from the cases Ive seen.

The concern being expressed about the lack of clothing available from the Dad's house for the bloodhounds to use in the initial search for Dylan, where clothing had to be brought in from the Mom's house, can be explained, or fit into the known facts in the following way.

We know Dylan's phone, hat, backpack and cell phone charger are all missing. It's the cell phone charger that doesn't make sense, why did Dylan take that with him when he left Dad's house ? Suppose Dylan faked being asleep, or too tired, that morning to go with his Dad shopping. Instead Dylan planned all along to "take off" as soon as Dad left on the shopping trip. Keep in mind his Dad had already shut down Dylan's initial scheme of spending the night at his friends home, which can be viewed as an attempt by Dylan to get around this visit. As soon as his Dad leaves early that morning, Dylan packs up all of his stuff in his backpack and leaves Dad's house on his own with no intention of returning.

Then he had to have been taken immediately by a kidnapper because there were no sightings of him on the road. There is only one main road out of his dad's neighborhood. Nobody saw him on that road.

And what was his plan? He was 13, not 7, so he must have figured out a plan of where to go, and how to get there. Was he planning to live out in the woods?I doubt that. So why wouldn't he call his friends or family for help, if he just wanted away from his dad's house.

I can see him wanting to leave his dad's, but I don't see him wanting to run away from his entire life.

 

[ICUDOUCME]

What I am saying is if Dad went to bed and Dylan was still awake, then dad didn't make sure he was doing his daily bed time routine(brush teeth, take shower, go to bed). He could of slept on the couch for all we know, or yes even the floor,a recliner, were ever. As for the comb tooth brush in the morning, I see that since dad was suppost to of left him sleeping, he could of just gotten up and done whatever in the same clothes,and not brushed his teeth or hair. A cup who knows(maybe canned soda), a plate, did they eat at home? We just don't know these things. Just saying there are plausable things to explain some of this.

I just figured out what your "hat" is. Good grief I'm slow. Anyway...

If LE told me that it would help me find my child, then yes. I would trust that they knew what they were doing and do as they asked.

Now, I don't think that is what happened here but if it did you couldn't blame a mother for listening to the "experts", even if it goes against every instinct she has.

A vigil is planned at 6 p.m. today at Eagle Park in Bayfield.

Vigil for Dylan in a couple hours. Sure to be extremely emotional.

Maybe, just maybe some clue or information will come from the event.

Something's gotta give.

I wonder who from the family will be there. Any paternal family members?

The more, the merrier.

Will 9news stream this live?

*Prayers for the community and family now & tonight*



I'm going to get dinner - a calzone - since someone accidentally typed the word calzone here the other night, I've been fixated. Thanks LOL :wave:
