I know there are more than enough situations where the media cuts and edits together stories to make them more appealing and dramatic for public consumption, and child abduction cases are not exempt from this... but if we're talking about this specific situation, Dylan and MR... and the questions I believe the previous poster was referring to and what I believe you're referring to, I don't think MR has addressed these pertinent issues (what they did that evening, what they watched on tv, did they talk about school - friends - sports, plans for the week, what time did Dylan fall asleep, etc).
They have not been buried in leads or storylines, whether the reporters have not asked the questions or MR has chosen to avoid answering them or redirect his answers to something he would rather put out there... there are huge gaps in what we the public do not know, that only MR knows, that in theory would not be during any crime (8pm-7:30am), that MR hasn't addressed. So he either has no memory of this time, nothing happened AT all (he and Dylan got home and immediately went to sleep), or MR doesn't want to address this time for a reason.
Especially since MR has made it clear that "his problem" is ER and that "she seems to have all the answers" and "is the one everyone wants to hear from"... I'm always waiting for him to have a nice, long sit down with a local or national reporter and give a complete, detailed account of what happened during his 12+ hours with Dylan so everyone can understand what went on, he can clear himself, and get the focus onto the person who "really" took his son. I know he "says" he wants the focus to be on Dylan and not on him, but I'm not seeing that. JMO.
Pretty sure everyone wants to hear what he has to say..... waiting....
No doubt everyone wants to hear what he has to say... unfortunately we are at the mercy of MSM to tell us so they pick and choose what they find "newsworthy enough" to put out there. We don't know what they may have been told that we have not heard. Dad says, "We didn't do much when we got home." That is good enough for the reporters soundbite... not so much for LE or "us". He could have walked the reporter through every single benign thing they did after saying that (went to the bathroom, grabbed a snack, watched tv, took a shower, checked email, returned some calls, fell asleep at whatever time, etc...) They used what was the "summary" to get to the point in the most efficient way possible.
If I had been painted out to be the bad guy by my ex, the media & the public I probably wouldn't be too keen on saying squat especially after making a concerted effort to make a public statement. I'd probably have the mindset that no matter what I said, how much I cooperated with LE, and was not a POI or suspect, no forensic evidence to indicate I was involved and I was STILL being "accused"... it would warrant a censored finger gesture after awhile.
Just because you are a (censored kind of person) especially with an ex doesn't mean you are a murderer or capable of leaving no evidence of a crime. Not that it could not be done but the probability of leaving no trace evidence would have to be very, very slim.
I don't think there is anything wrong with "looking at him" hypothetically as the culprit but given the fact that his residence & vehicles were cleared and is not named a POI & stated by LE to be cooperative... I think we owe it to Dylan to give equal attention to other possibilities that do not involve his dad.
