All of the following is MOO... I am not a psychologist, psychiatrist, nor social worker - just someone who has unfortunately had to deal with too many messed up people in my life.
I am just coming back to the site after an extended absence due to computer problems. I had been hoping and praying there would be some new leads, clues, or some type of break in this case, but sadly I don't think there have been from what I've read through.
I also just finished watching both parts of the Dr. Phil show, and nothing that happened during that show deters me from my original suspicions about MR. If anything, it made it even more clear to me what kind of man he really is.
Honestly, his behavior reminds me of that of my abusive (adopted) father. The look in his eyes, his "poor me" attitude, and especially the extremely flat response to questions - not just from his exes, but from Dr. Phil and the polygraph expert especially... His behavior reeks of self-preservation at all costs with no regard for the rights and feelings of others.
I'm not a psychologist nor a psychiatrist, but in my layman's opinion, and going off my past experiences dealing with my father especially, it appears to me that MR shows many tendencies associated with Anti-Social Personality Disorder. There is no doubt he perhaps deals with alcoholism, or at least alcohol use as a form of escapism (as he did the night of the Dr. Phil show). He definitely could also be suffering from a variety of other conditions such as depression, anxiety, etc... however, those conditions are commonly found among those with ASPD, so it doesn't explain or excuse his behaviors over the last 3 months.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of people in this world with varying degrees of ASPD, and many people who don't see the danger until it's too late. They are very good at keeping many people fooled for quite a long time. I've been doing a lot of reading on this subject over the last week especially as I believe my daughter may be in a relationship with just such a man herself, and it scares me to death because she can't see it - not asking for pity, just wanted to explain where I'm coming from with my information.
As always, all of the above is MOO.
I do believe poor Dylan is in that lake and with Spring he will hopefully be found. I try to keep hope that he can be found alive, but am realistic - or would that be pessimistic at this point; especially after studying MR's behavior on the Dr. Phil show.
My prayers remain with all of Dylan's family, and that is including MR - that if he does know what happened he is given the strength and conscience to admit it, and end the torture that everyone else is going through.
