I am referring to Dr.Phil saying that there was a missing fishing pole at the Dad's house. So couldn't it be possible that Dylan took the pole, went fishing and fell in the water? Which is why the cellphone isn't being used? The only thing is the time of day isn't usual to be fishing but I know some people fish at night...
Hi everyone,
forgive me if this has already been asked. I watched the case on Dr.Phil and what stuck out to me was that Dylan's fishing pole was missing. Is it not a possibility, then, that Dylan may have gone fishing and fallen into the lake and drowned?

Well, that was my first thought after seeing this on Dr.Phil and having no knowledge of the case prior. I just thought instantly of him maybe reaching into the lake to grab a fish or something and falling. I didn't get a vibe from the Dad that he was lying, I thought he seemed ashamed that Dylan disapeared while under his care and he was taking a verbal beating from the Mother. Anyway, I don't know what the motive would be. You don't just all of a sudden "snap" and kill your 13 year old. I mean, I'm sure it has happened, but the father didn't seem like he was suffering from some serious mental breakdown and if he was... would he really have the capability to cover it up this well? Transport and hide his son's body and throw it away? Think about it, parents who kill their own child in a "moment of anger" usually make up some kind of accident story. They can't throw their child's body away, they do what is easiest. There is always a motive, always, and I just don't see what it'd be.
RBM: Of course, but the point is that it is a possibility that there was an argument that got out of hand and should be considered as such. It should not just be dismissed out of hand, any more than anything else that fits the circumstances should be dismissed.
BBM: I disagree. I think is very seriously being considered in this case.

Holy smokes, did I miss something? I didn't realize all that happened between MR and Dylan.
Just look at Marks OWN WORDS when he talks about Dylan. He tells us how much closer his relationship was with D, than D's was with his mom. Who does that when their child is missing? He loves to tell us how extremely close they were, and how Dylan was his whole entire world. Meanwhile, he seemed to have not been in very close touch with him at all. So something is wrong with his story, imo.
And if you listen to his interviews, 'he does protest too much' when he declares ad nauseum, how happy he was to allow Dylan to see his friends because they were his priority. But it does not appear to be so.
Just look at how close he is with his 3 grown sons.
here are my thoughts and i may get flack for it but oh well...
MR continues to lead the LE and the media to believe that there is a *chance* Dylan either fell into the lake, has been disposed of at the lake, etc. the whole fishing pole thing i think is somewhat of a red herring because there isn't a single ounce of me that believes the kid went fishing, but i think MR made mention of it on purpose.
i believe Dylan could be found in the lake, in some time, and that MR is waiting for it to happen so he can say "aha i told you" but by the time Dylan is found, it'll be difficult if not impossible to determine COD and he will get to trumpet it as his intuition having led investigators to finally find him.
i can believe he snapped on Dylan...i think there was either an argument or there was resentment building in MR and it came to a head when Dylan arrived to stay with him...i don't think Dylan ever saw the inside of the house and was instead probably left in the lake and MR went home that night. Either this, or Dylan is elsewhere and clues and or remains will surface in the lake but there will be evidence and possibly remains found in other locations eventually as well.
this is all my thinking...i've been watching this case and this thread for some time and i could be completely wrong, but these are the scenarios that make sense to me. i couldn't imagine being in ER's shoes, she must feel absolutely horrified at having sent Dylan away only for him to go missing, with her feelings being that MR's violent tendencies finally reached a fever pitch and resulted in Dylan's disappearance. makes me thankful i never had and never would have children with my ex.
sorry if it all seems harsh, but any sympathy or doubt in my mind about MR has been eradicated as the case has gone on and MR seems to incriminate himself. i think Dr. Phil's sentiments and statements to MR are dead on.

If Dylan is in the lake, I would have to believe he's been weighted down. If that's the case, then I don't see how MR could say told ya so. If MR killed Dylan prior to placing him in the lake, then he'd either had to have put the backpack on Dylan to place him in the lake, which would then put decomp on him. If he killed Dylan while he was still wearing the backpack, then it would have to have been one killing blow, in which case there'd be evidence on Dylan's body regardless of how long he was submerged. I say one blow because if the first blow didn't knock him out, then surely he'd shrug off the backpack to fight back. Either way, MR would be perp and would be caught. IF this is what happened, why wouldn't MR take off? Why would he point LE to the lake? I'm probably rambling here. I have thoughts in my head but I have a broken finger and it's taken me forever just to type this.![]()
