I would love to know what about that small number of bones makes them think it was homicide instead of Dylan running off and falling off a cliff in the dark, or something. I believe them that the evidence is there, but unless there's like a knife wound on the shoulder blade, it's hard to imagine how they could determine it was homicide. Not that it would really make any difference, but...inquiring minds want to know.
I have always thought that it wasn't the bones found that led them to conclude it was a homicide. According to Mark Redwine, there were also pieces of clothing found and shoestrings. There could have been damage to the clothing that was indicative of a struggle. Also note that there is nothing said about shoes, just the shoestrings. Animals don't remove shoestrings from shoes,
and it's possible the shoestrings were used as a murder weapon (strangulation) or perhaps they were tied to one of the bones... speculation of course.

Investigators also found a piece of the boy's shirt, one sock and his shoestrings but not the backpack or other items he had when he went missing, Redwine said.
