Even tho i try to keep an open mind. I do entertain other theories. I just keep ending up where i started. Sunday night. Then the absence of any a.m. contact with anybody. Way too many red flags. If there are explanations I am open to hearing them. I'm just not that confident there are. IMO

After Walmart or McDonald's whichever came last nobody saw or spoke to Dylan again apart from MR which is why the mind still boggles on LE and not doing a full on search of the house within the first few days and picking up any clues and DNA evidence to help locate Dylan .


Of course they need to look at all theory's but while they do that they should of been looking closer to home IMO just to completely clear MR and then move the investigation on .


IMHO!

If dylans phone were broken, MR is texting him, would it show on MR's cell that his text did not go thru?

Depending on his phone (and settings) it could possibly show that the texts were not read but that is it. The texts would actually send though even if Dylan's phone was destroyed. Had ER (and idk that she didn't do this) purchased another phone after Dylan went missing and activated it under Dylan's number then all unread texts or voice mails would come through to that phone.

Me too! The sudden silence on Sunday night combined with the fact that MR arrived back home Monday expecting Dylan to be waiting on him but didn't start looking for him until 4+ hours later is just too much for me to get past. I can't satisfactorily explain those things away.

I agree. Last known locations of a missing person should be forensically searched ASAP.

So he pays extra $$$ for the flight and had to pay a lawyer for all these legal maneuvers re: visitation, takes him on a trip of a lifetime in summer? MR must have not been doing too badly with his career so why not just pay child support? Also some questions have arisen that if MR were involved it would be save $$ on child support, but it doesn't seem like he ' needed' to save money , more like he wanted to or just doing it out of spite ? To be difficult?

This case has dragged on so long and information has been so limited and I haven't had enough coffee yet, but I don't remember when we established that MR wasn't paying ER child support or was behind in it or was trying to get out of it. Would you please link that for me again??? Thank you.

I think LE made a big mistake in waiting to do a real search of the house and are now unable to prove or disprove Dylan's presence there. If so, that is a major problem and will remain so.

Quoting myself to add that it is also possible that Dylan could have set his phone up to send a "read receipt" as well. I think it is very highly unlikely that MR had his phone set to show unread texts or that Dylan was sending read receipts though. Neither of those settings are popular and are not widely available options. If Dylan texted as much as ER has said then I can't imagine him sending an auto message to friends after reading every single message and you can't set it up for use with only certain contacts.

O/T but I actually go look for your posts each day to see the latest kitten avatar.

I agree with your post. I'm afraid there were some LE decisions made in this case that are gonna lead to it going cold w/o a confession or major evidence being found with the body.

I do believe that there will be an arrest in this case. I believe that LE and FBI have a focus a person or persons.
We don't know a lot of what they know. But we will be finding out at the right time.

Since LE based much of their theory that he did not run away on the phone issue, clearly they were not told about any broken or tossed phone. And if Dylan's phone stopped working, I think most people with kids would agree that this would be huge news to be known by all at once.

So-we are back to either Dylan being no longer able to make contact after Sunday evening, or simply deciding not to. Number two seems about as likely as not telling anyone his phone was broken, IMO.

One would think Dylan would text R or Elaine Sunday night, using MR's phone, and state "hey my phone died so you have to contact me through Dad's phone."

I can understand that. I feel the same way about other people's words in this case being taken as gospel when we know them about as well as we know MR.

I'm mostly reading along here, not posting that much, mostly questions. I don't know _any_ of the people involved, but to be fair, some people have given us permission to peruse their personal online history and determine whether their words are backed up by facts. Just my opinion.

 

[Seajay]

MOO. The first thing that sounded hinky to me is when MR was being interviewed once and he said "my problem is my ex-wife". Who says that when their kid is missing?

I would think a man who his ex-wife had publically, on a national level accused him of harming their son. I'd have a problem with that. He has an interview and has to set the record straight because the ex wife put a bug in everyone's ear that he's responsible for harming him. Jmo

 

[Seajay]

Not trying to defend MR but I think he and his ex both had problems with each other imo. E had already said it was MR's fault Dylan is gone at this point so I'm sure he had bad feelings about her right or not.

Not only giving you a "thanks" but I could kiss you on the lips for that.

 

[cattlekate]

I sure wish LE would state WHERE Dylan's phone was pinging from during those text exchanges with R. I sure wish LE would state WHERE MR's phone was pinging from, and when. Or if it was shut off.

But i think in the circumstances that it was understandable and a more rational person would not dwell on it and would look at the bigger picture ( there son) .


Elaine did not say it to hurt his feelings. It was a gut reaction and she is entitled to that IMO.

But no mater how you look at it, when one's son is missing, one's ex-wife should not be one's biggest concern. It just seems like his priorities are messed up, imo.

 

[cluciano63]

I would like to see and hear more from both parents, but that is just my preference. Not saying it would do any good, but I guess I always wonder where there are after the initial weeks and if they are just somehow being patient. I don't see how they could be, when it seems pretty clear, IMO, no progress has been made. I doubt if I would be able to just and hope silently.

 

[Bravo]

I would be very open to listening to MR. If he is bothered by what E stated publicly. Why not come out and clear some things up? Why not put Dylan first. If i was MR and thought people were pointing fingers at me why not clear the air so to speak so folks are and continuing to look for Dylan.

So, his problem was his ex talking about him to the media and his solution was to ... talk about her to the media?
