CO- Dylan Redwine, 13, Vallecito, 19 November 2012 - #5

[tiredblondy]

I am not sure about that. I will go and try to find the links, but I found some yesterday for Sarx, to look at the record of the scent trails and service dogs, and LE seemed to be pretty on top of it. They began searching immediately
and went throughout the night on Monday and Tuesday. TUesday daytime there were 200 volunteers in all of the abandoned homes and sheds and outbuildings and they began searching the reservoir and dam area. So I think LE took his disappearance very seriously and went hard. JMO

Perhaps I'm thinking home should have been thoroughly searched earlier with warrant and all. I really don't think Dad would have minded.


This case reminds me of the Missing 411 book. Can't help it that's what it reminds me of at the moment. ( That can change tomorrow of course)

If he did try to hitch hike which his friends said he did apparently in the past I find that very scary.

To get some things clear in my mind I am wondering where Dylan and his mother lived before they moved Colorado City. Did they live in the same area the father lives in now? Is the house the father lives in the house the family lived in before the divorce? I am getting all towns and areas mixed up. Thanks for any help with this info. jmo

Mom lived in Bayfield, Dad in Vallecito.

And in the same token we only have a one sided version of the story being told by the mom.

So I will believe LE only and statements made by them. We do know that Sgt. Bender said they have confirmed his whereabouts that morning. So he told them where he went and it turned out to be true.

I dont want to cast aspersions on the mom but no matter how dire the situation is she doesnt have a right to accuse anyone of harming her child...even her ex... unless she has proof of it. It only brings more stress into an already stressful situation.

She needs to let LE do their job. They are the ones who will find out who harmed Dylan and they will have the evidence needed to prove it BEFORE they come out and say it.

I think I have a girl crush on you. :blushing: I thought early on MR has nothing to do with Dylan missing. I seemed to be (at that time) one of the few who felt that way. I finally stopped posting and am just reading. But, you say the things I'm thinking only much more eloquently. I think I recall now from Isa's case that I felt the same way.

But dad was adamant a lake 4 miles away be searched. Why? Dylan could have fished practically in his own backyard.

That part is very strange, I agree. Did he say it was where Dylan liked to fish? I don't remember him giving a reason for pushing them to search there. We have so little information it's maddening.

Could be just a change in Dad's story once the case evolved.

But IMO, the truth never changes. Why does anyone need to change their story to a case as it evolves?

I guess he assumed the friends picked him up and Dylan was with them. I can't tell you how many times I heard my children making plans and assumed that's what they were doing only to find out later plans had changed and who did they not tell- Me.

I left my son at the school once because I thought he was coming home with someone else. Imagine my embarrassment when someone brought him home and he was furious with me for leaving him.

I can see Dad returning, seeing the fishing pole gone and thinking his friends had come to pick him up. I would have assumed the same thing.

I can also see Dylan waking up and thinking I'll just go on now and not wait for Dad to get home. Taking his backpack, fishing pole and walking out the door thinking he can hitch a ride if he needs to. That is where I see the danger.

I don't know if this man had anything to do with Dylan's disappearance or not but if he stays quiet he's wrong and if he's talking he's wrong. I've sensed some emotion in his voice.

So if you came home and your 13 yr old was gone, you would just assume he had gotten a ride from someone, and left it at that. Even though the plans were that you were supposed to come and pick him up?

I guess it makes sense but not to me. I would have wanted to know who picked him up and where they were going. And WHY he didn't call me or leave a note.

And because dad let it slide, now he looks like the suspicious one. Because he never called and checked in with his kid who was home alone, and then never checked in when his kid was gone , and changed plans without notifying him, so NOW he is missing and Dad looks like the guilty party. JMO

And it's not wrong to talk, but it gets weird when the stories don't stay consistent.

Mark Redwine......Just in case anyone needs to know.

This is the dad's name.

What's the deal with the domestic violence allegations? Anyone ever arrested? Or this is something only shared in the divorce proceedings?

I would love to know if the first words he said to Dylan's mother when he called her was " Did you come get Dylan?or Have you heard anything from Dylan?" That's what I'd like to know.

Well, considering what we are slowly learning about the family, I'm thinking that was not a good conversation at all! :O

Continue on this path, grasshopper.

I live in that area during the summertime. And have been to Vallecito many times. It is a very small community way back in the Mountains. It is nestled between two mountain ranges and I have never had cell phone service while there. Unless something has changed which i doubt - none, nada, zilch. You loose service as soon as you leave the Bayfield area. Scanty service between Bayfield and Durango on 160. And it is gone again once you leave Durango on Florida Rd/240. If the phone was shut off at 8pm sunday eve and not turned back on it was because of no service. If Dylan attempted to walk towards Bayfield he would not have been texting, again no service. Unless dad had wifi on his computer there would be no signal to text. Bayfield, Vallecito and durango are in the same land line area. Covers quite a few miles east and west. ATT says that a cell works where I live out there saying the area is covered but there is absolutely no cell phone service at my home.

On the family FB it said that there is enough cell service to text when inside the home. So I assume there is a hotspot or some wi-fi service that enhances it. But they said that calling is very spotty service, but they do have a landline.

To match evidence the police are finding??? Because the "truth" in this case needs to adjust to the circumstances???

I totally agree with you and so do I. jmo

You're not alone, Lotus. He strikes me as apathetic.

Or passive aggresive. JMO

I hear you. Me too. I don't live there or have a "cabin" but I have fly fished there more times than I can count. I've never had service and I was there this past August. My DH (left brained kind of guy) went to buy a new horse nearby. I went fly fishing since I would fall in love with any horse and needed to stay away. lol. I got yelled at ... by the left brained DH because I didn't call him. Well ... duh!! I had no service with ATT ... they lied about the service, IMO. I was forgiven. He bought the horse and I fished some more.
BTW... I live outside of Santa Fe, NM, about 200 miles away. I'm closer to where MR lives than where ER moved too in C Springs with DR and older brother CR and live-in/new husband, MH.

Maybe Mark and Dylan talked about the plans the night before? Maybe Mark was going to pick Dylan up at the friends house at 4 or 4:30? That's why he asked, "where is Dylan"? When he got home from Durango and Dylan wasn't there, I think it's reasonable to think he believed Dylan got a ride to his friends. He told Dylan to call if there were any problems....

That makes 3 of us on little Isabelle Celis case. I've never seen one shred of evidence that her dad had one thing to do with her disappearance. I just quit posting on her thread to not cause trouble.

The reason it is a one-sided version is that Dad was the one in charge when Dylan disappeared. So it makes sense she is going to blast him. He would have done the same if it were reversed.

But besides that, IF it is true what was reported on local Channel 9News tonight, and there were DV charges and orders of protection given, during their divorce, then she might well have good reason to think MR was capable of physical violence. If she has been a victim of violence at his hands, then I see nothing wrong with her accusations, when her son went missing. As she said, MR has a bad temper and he was angry. And Dylan was not happy about going on the trip, so it was a bad combo to say the least.

I think people do have the right to make accusations of they are grounded in reality. Her son was missing and in great danger. I cut her lots of slack for speaking her mind.

Ah Ok, I think we are agreeing and I didn't even know it! :blushing:
