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

[scorekeeper]

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.

IMO

Sorry but I believe they asked for Jessica Ridgeway's bedding.

attention folks:

1) there is currently no named person of interest or suspect

2) family members are always off limits for speculation and sleuthing due to our victim friendly policy until or unless they are named a suspect or a person of interest.

3) the parent statements in the media can be discussed insofar as you are posting an article, etc. This does not include jumping to other tangents along that thread of thought.

4) We don't know much at this time. But we do know that Dylan is missing and needs to come home. Everyone please post responsibly.

 

[scorekeeper]

if Dylan did "run away" were any food items missing?

and the bicylce is interesting; even if he was too big for it - it was a way of transportation...why didn't he use it?

 

[oceanblueeyes]

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?

I wouldn't care who they are. If ANYONE ever accused me of murdering my own child I damn sure wouldnt just take it laying down... rollover.. and do nothing.

He is a far better man than I would be a woman because he is not blasting her but is more hurt that she has said these awful things about him.

That is one thing I would not tolerate. NO ONE is going to accuse me of hurting my children. But thats just me and Im easygoing but that would be the end of the line to my tolerance level.

It is accusations like this that have ruined lives. It is very dangerous and reckless behavior.

She isnt the only parent who is grieving, imo. I am sure both parents are hurting but that still doesnt give either one of them the right to hurl accusations to the media just because they can.

IMOO

 

[SCHMAE]

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

Wow, nice catch.
That is always interesting when and who begins using past tense.

 

[oceanblueeyes]

Sorry but I believe they asked for Jessica Ridgeway's bedding.

Oh ok.......thanks.......that is unusual. You would think they would have plenty of items of Jessica's in the home.

Usually the trackers will carry the scent sample with them to give the dog a sniff of the scent again if they begin to lose track and sheets are rather large to carry in a search.

I wonder if Jessica's mom thought they were for the hounds and they really took them in as evidence. This would be before they found the creep that raped and murdered her.

IMO

We have all been referring to a 'court ordered visitation' but I think we are forgetting who secured that court order. Dylan's father went to the time, and expense of getting that order so he could see his son on Thanksgiving. That doesn't sound like a father who doesn't love or care for Dylan. jmo

 

[tlzzdavis]

Also in reference to "custody". There are two types LEGAL & PHYSICAL. We have no clue which one she was awarded SOLE custody for back in September...or both. Plus I know when there is such a large distance the visits are longer in duration but fewer trips.

Cases like these are exactly why parents in every divorce should be required to have a lawyer for the children. The kids didn't ask for drama, divorce or other nonsense that grown adults should be able to handle if they thought they could handle having children. I don't mean that in a snappy way...but too many kids are paying the price for their parents bad decisions. OF COURSE THIS IS JMVHO!

Maybe she felt she was justified. Maybe she has enough history with her ex to make an educated guess. She said he has a quick, hot temper and that he was already angry about the court order. And she knew that Dylan was also angry about having to go on the visit. So she knew that her 13 yr old might 'talk back disrespectfully.' That is a dangerous situation. An angry father with a bad temper and a mouthy, resentful 13 yr old.

When she and her 21 yr old son, who is also Redwine's son, tried to reach Redwine, he would not answer nor return their calls. How maddening would that be when your child is missing, and your ex is not communicating with you?

I totally understand her bold statements and I empathize with her. She does not seem to me to be someone just trying to cause drama. I think she truly believes that her ex is responsible for her child's disappearance. I cannot imagine how painful that must be. JMO

La Plata County sheriff's spokesman Dan Bender said Tuesday the FBI, police and other agencies are following up on tips, but so far there is no sign of the boy.

Tips, I find this encouraging, as before the search they said they didn't really have any were to go.

 

[tlzzdavis]

An ex wife is saying her ex husband is "hot tempered". Sorry I take it with a grain of salt. Just MOO

 

[DecemberSunshine]

Okay, I'm tossing my two cents in...

I, for one, am relieved the dad has made some kind of public statement, if only in his own defense. The silence was really taking on a personality of it's own and distracting from Dylan.

Perhaps that is why the mom made a public semi-accusation? If they were married for so long (20 years?), I'm sure she knows how to push his buttons...hell, maybe she said that to protect him from the media's sideways glances (far fetched and a little twisted, I know) & provoke a public response to break the silence.

Maybe Dad has a very, VERY quiet & unemotional personality (like my husband...YAY ME!) & is adamant about not showing emotion, especially publicly, fearing if he did, he would be attacked in the media for not being emotional enough.

Just playing devil's advocate...with a little insight to personalities I find "odd", courtesy of my beloved hubby.

Now, what really concerns me, is that with all this drama, if Dylan was abducted, he could be ANYWHERE by now. Dad's not going anywhere & I'm willing to trust LE to state a POI, when the time comes. Right now, Dylan MUST be found...&, IMO, exhausting all avenues to find him alive (abduction) should be taken first.

 

[Confusion]

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?

Then again, who would accuse a grieving father of killing his own son, when nobody even knows if he's dead?

An ex wife is saying her ex husband is "hot tempered". Sorry I take it with a grain of salt. Just MOO

Especially when she never seems to have worried about him possibly hurting him before, even when he had joint custody. I also don't believe she ever accused him of domestic abuse, or I'm sure the press would have been all over it. It's possible to have a hot temper without being violent, and it's also very easy to be vindictive toward someone you're already upset with when you're overloaded with stress. Your child is lost, you have no idea where he is (but you know that he feels that YOU forced him to go where he didn't want to be), you don't know if they're looking for your child or his body, and you aren't getting answers to a lot of your questions; who better to take it out on than your ex!

Members of a task force, accompanied by a uniformed La Plata County Sheriff’s deputy, started going door to door looking for anyone who knows or knows something about Dylan, Durango Police Department Lt. Ray Shupe said.

Shupe is filling in for Sheriff’s Office spokesman Dan Bender. He urged volunteer searchers to refrain from visiting Vallecito today.

FYI

Some pages back, someone asked who Ray Shupe is; guess he is filling in the La Plata's PIO, Dan Bender.

Lighting a candle for Dylan tonight...

 

[katydid23]

Interesting that they are going door to door starting North of the lake. Does that mean the fishing pole was found there? It seems like they do believe that something happened at the lake.

 

[DylansMom34]

I would think if LE had any reasonable suspicion that Dylan was abducted, they would issue a more nation-wide alert, like an Amber Alert. Maybe now that there is a task force, they will come to suspect an abuction. So far, the evidence found must not indicate abuction.

Remember how almost instantly in Jessica's case, an Amber Alert was issued? Even when people were speculating if it could have been a family member, etc. LE had enough suspicion to think abduction. In Colorado, LE is not exactly shy about issuing the Amber Alert if they think it is applicable. MOO

 

[DylansMom34]

As for the search of the lake goes, I seem to recall 2 or 3 dogs hitting on human scent, in a concentrated area of the lake. Does this type of scent typically indicate a full human or could it mean something less? I hate even typing that, but....just curious.

 

[Bravo]

Dylan's Brother (sorry forgot his name) is heartbreaking to watch on news clips. He appears to be very close to Dylan. Not always common with a 13 year old and 21 year old until the 13 year old catches up a bit. I'll bet he has been able to shed light on the Family dynamic. If there is anything there. Praying Dylan is found soon lease:

 

[Bravo]

Has it been reported exactly where the fishing rod was found and i missed it? Was it laying on ground,dock etc? If Dylan did indeed go fishing one can assume his finger prints would be on the fishing rod.
