**I am in catch up mode so please forgive if these issues have long since already been thoroughly discussed**
I have an awful feeling that this case is now stalling out. I don't think they have any evidence to lead them in any way in particular and they are stuck. JMO
TBH my opinion is in between these two posts(above&below)..
While I very much want to believe that LE has the majority of the answers and their silence is indicative of their just getting their ducks in a row and holding out on putting their suspect status public with the intention on getting more info from him WRT Dylan's location..knowing that once they go public with their suspect status that it will bring to a screeching halt what little open line of communication that they have with MR..IMO its very obvious why they would not yet want to do this(ie.seeing as how they have yet to find Dylan)
MOO is that if LE were to make this move it IMO makes the chances of this case stalling out(as katy mentions in above post) soar tremendously.. IMO OBVIOUSLY NOT WHAT ANYONE WANTS ..
so, I do agree with Eileen(post below) about that LE definitely knows a whole helluva lot more than we do.. but the problem is the difference between KNOWING .. and .. PROVING..
It all comes down to the evidence and not only what evidence that LE at this point have..but IMO more importantly what evidence is there available, period to even be found and collected??.. how well covered, cleaned, and/or concealed are the tracks of the perp who has "disappeared" Dylan?.. what, if any certifiable..tangible evidence is there of the crimes that have been committed on Dylan?
we all know this is what it all comes down to in the end.. its not what LE/DA "know"...it only matters what that DA can "prove".. and that as we know is a whole helluva lot different than "knowing" Casey Anthony is a cold blooded killer with zero remorse..and it being "proved" to the Pinellas 12 that she is!
I think LE knows way more than they are letting on.
I think they were putting all of their resources into Search And Rescue because they thought he was lost in the woods or he fell into the lake while fishing. I think they were open to the possibility of it being a criminal case, but were leaning towards a lost or runaway kid. But as time passed they changed their focus and then they were a week behind.
IMO at the onset whether right or wrong its obvious this LE were working this case as a voluntary missing/runaway/hiding due to family issues type of situation..jmo.. which tho, I believe may have been harmful to the later changed criminal investigation, but nonetheless IMO that's exactly what they thought and believed it to be initially.
Family aren't the only people who are protected. My understanding is that you really can't sleuth anyone who hasn't been named a POI or suspect by LE. That would include family, but it would also include friends, neighbors, friends of family, coworkers/employers of family members, etc.
Maybe I've misunderstood the rules, but that's how I read them.
There is nothing hindering discussion of other possibilities of what happened to Dylan.. in discussing the other possibilities I'm not exactly sure how the necessity of "sleuthing" would in any way be even an issue that would somehow keep anyone from openly theorizing??
unless its mom, brother, or another specific family member then anyone and everyone can discuss any possibility imaginable ..
for example if one were of the opinion that a neighbor happened by the home that morning when Dylan was home alone and they believe the possibility that in some way Dylan was coerced to leave with them and from there it obviously turned sinister.. what is keeping such discussion from being put forth??
same goes for the possibility of an RSO or non-registered SO crossing paths with Dylqn at some point(ie. at airport, Walmart, etc and possibly followed them).. this coinciding with why LE is interested in video between Durango and dads home to see if possibly someone was following them.. and on and on the theory goes.. nothing stopping or hindering such discussions and theories being offered ...
the whole hitch hiking theory and how, when, what Dylan came to be abducted from his trying to hitch a ride... and on and on with the possibilities ..
I am not understanding what or how "sleuthing" or lack of being able to sleuth has any relevance with forward discussion of any theories anyone wants to offer and put forward.. what does mom, brothers, etc being off limits to offer up as possible scenarios of involvement in the disappearance have to do with SPEAKING OF THE MULTITUDE OF OTHER POSSIBILITIES THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED(we thoroughly , ad nauseum offered extremely detailed theories and possibilities OF ALL THESE OTHER PEREONS BESIDES MR in much earlier threads) So what would make it different now in HINDERING THESE TYPE THEORIES AND DISCUSSIONS NOW??
unless the entire issue is that mom,family, brothers is the actual possibilities that are wanting to be discussed(which I was NOT under the impression that anyone believed they are in any way involved)..but maybe I'm wrong and that is the belief and if so then its a moot point as there will be no such discussion...
BUT OTHER THAN THAT THE THEORIES AND THOROUGH, DETAILED DISCUSSION IS GAME AND NOT QUITE CERTAIN WHY ITS NOT BEING DISCUSSED BUT RATHER ONLY DISCUSSED ABOUT HOW SOME WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO DISCUSS?? :crazy:
Regarding the article with the quotes from Dylan's half brother. Sad that MR seems to be estranged from all of his sons. It sounds like even the half brother doesn't know what to think.
and this too for me is sad and concerning.. as vasportsmom mentioned in a post upthread its not the fact that there is an issue or two that is concerning.. each, in and of itself while yes, concerning it is not necessarily indicative of suspicion of involvement(tho, there are actually issues here that even in and of itself IS MORE THAN JUST CONCERNING) .. its the fact that there IS NOT just an issue or two, but rather a multitude of issues that together when looking at the picture as a whole become a whole lot more than just concerning.jmo.
Regarding specifically the half brother you above mention what immediately jumped off the page at me(and honestly still does every time I read the article) is the quote below:
"I'm trying to find out who my father is as I try to deal with the loss of a brother," he said.

BBM..I'm trying to figure out who my father is??.... IMO is extremely telling IMO especially that this is not just being said in any type private setting to a family member or friend In his discussing the difficult time he is presently dealing with..HE IS SAYING THIS TO THE WORLD ...and then IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED UP WITH IN THE EXACT SAME SENTENCE AND BREATH HE SAYS, "as I try to deal with the loss of my brother"...
This IMO is HUGE!...this IMO is extremely telling of this young man's struggle and how and what he sees that he's facing in dealing with.. I'll not go and on droning away on my thoughts about this(because believe me I could go on and on in detail of the questions that IMO this young man is presenting to the world about his very own father.jmo)...
I'll leave it at that ...as I said his words literally leapt off the page when I read them and is just yet another on the ever growing list of many issues concerning Mark Redwine and his youngest son's disappearance.
all jmo.
