We have been discussing the relative infrequency of MR's media appearances, lack of participation in searches (1 search) and apparent lack of participation in fundraising efforts (none known at this time). What has always bothered me is what appears to be a lack of urgency on MR's part. Below are various statements made by MR about when he first grew concerned about Dylan's absence. Besides these statements, there is MR asking LE to be on the lookout for Dylan and tell him to come on home. There are also saying "all hell broke loose" and "she's making more of this than it has to be" about when he notified ER by text that Dylan was missing. There are also his comments that he was willing to let the investigation take it's course. And finally, there is what the mail carrier attributed to MR, that Dylan hadn't come home the night before, which strikes me as an odd and sort of casual way of putting it. All MOO

Mark said he tried texting Dylan all afternoon in an area with spotty cellphone service. When he didn't hear anything back by late afternoon, he went to Dylan's friend's house in Vallecito. That friend hadn't seen him.
Mark became alarmed and drove the 20 miles to Bayfield. Dylan's friends there hadn't seen him either. Mark called Elaine Redwine and went to the Bayfield Marshal's Office.

MB uncut interview:
When did you know something was wrong?
Mark Redwine:
Well, when I got home and he wasn’t here I didn’t think much of it at the time, because it’s not unlike him to go wandering off. He’ll walk down to the river across the street or you know he might go up into the campground where he can be next to the river up there. I didn’t think a whole lot of it.
And, I had laid down and took a nap, which is something I try to do as much as I can when I’m not working because we always work, you know, 14-hour days. It feels good to be home.
And, it was probably 2:30 by the time I realized that Dylan still is not home and so I’m thinkin’ well, if he ain’t gonna’ return my text messages and I ain’t hearing my phone ringing ‘cos he ain’t calling me, I
need to go find that boy.
So, I stopped by his friend Tristan’s house, down across from the marina up here at the lake, and nobody answered the door. So, I’m thinking, well, I didn’t see his fishing pole, you know, and I thought maybe he had wandered off and went fishing so maybe he was with Tristan at the lake. So, I’m driving by the lake looking for him and Tristan and didn't see anything…

As I was going down to Bayfield to check with Ryan, who I found at his friend Fernando’s house, and as soon as I went to Fernan…’cos I don’t know where all of them live –- but I knew a couple of ‘em live -- enough to get pointed in the right direction. First place I went, Boom… there’s Ryan and Fernando, and first words out of their mouth, “We haven’t heard from Dylan all day.”
That's when it hit me that something wasn’t right, and I immediately went to the Marshall’s office in Bayfield.

Dr. Phil day 1
Dr. Phil:
And so you get back at 11:30 and he’s gone?
MR:
Right.
Dr. Phil:
Umm… and so you just laid down to take a nap
MR:
Well, no… that… when I got back at 11:30, I didn’t think much of Dylan not being there. I mean, he knows the area, he’s been up to my house MANY times, there’s a campground at the end of the road that’s not right by the river which he tends to go up to every now and then. There’s a bridge right down the street where it crosses over the river which he’s been known to hang out before. There’s a rock wall that’s right directly behind my house that he’s been known to go stompin’ around in the woods back there. I mean.. it didn’t… I didn’t find it… odd.. that he wasn’t sittin’ there waitin’ for me.
ER:
In November?? Mid November??
MR:
And you sent him…you sent him without a coat???
ER:
Why is it always my fault? Why can’t you take any of the responsibility?
Dr. Phil:
At 1:30 you wake up, he’s still not there?
MR:
Right.
Dr. Phil:
Did something go off in your head then?
MR:
Absolutely. This is when I’m calling him on his cell phone. I’m sending him text messages. I’m trying to communicate to him… you know… at some point… I start realizing that… you know this is not like Dylan.
