As I said on the previous thread, I find it strange that we all seem to be believing this account from MR ... but not believing anything else he says! I wonder why that is. There may never have been a lift offered for all we know.
Jumping off of the post and adding a few of my thoughts.
I'm not believing any account given by MR, I am believing the accounts given by LE and my common sense, which IMO are:
Dylan got picked up at the airport
Dylan went to Walmart
(I don't know for sure if Dylan went to Mickey D's because there is no video but I do believe MR went to Mickey D's and has a receipt)
Dylan wanted to go his friends house, early in the morning and his friend was expecting him.
Dylan's phone stopped at 8
There was an electronic communication at 938 either to or from something related to Dylan
Dylan was reported missing around 430 Monday.
Other than that, my beliefs are:
A child anxious to see his friends, would not walk 6 miles one way and 6 miles back another way, then 18 miles to another friends house carrying everything he had and not be seen by one single person.
A child would most likely call for a ride from the parents of his friends if a ride was not available
Even SO's and RSO's leave a trace when grabbing a child, I have not heard of a time when everything (meaning when a person is carrying a purse, backpack, books, on a bike, whatever) was taken and something wasn't dropped.
A child that is mid conversation with a buddy, doesn't just stop
Animals do not eat back packs, cell phones, chargers, clothing or ipads and they don't drag bodies with all the belongings for distances so great that searchers can't find a trace.
A child is not going to walk in the woods 18 miles to a friends house when the street is the less cumberson route
People eliminate themselves as suspects not continue to appear to be suspect
Kids just don't disappear, they are disappeared by someone
All MOO, my common sense and my experiences. I don't believe any version given by MR, there are just too many different ones so I personally can't take any of them. Please note that I am NOT indicating that I have common sense and others do or do not. Each has their own and each is respected by me.
