Yes, Lordeebee - go ahead and post them. Please do any necessary redacting first, though. That is the only reason I didn't use your original post (well, that and I needed to get them from a source other than facebook).
Thanks,
Salem
Regarding the evidence/items seized, I would think that the forensics would be back by now since it's just short of six months since their collection. If that evidence pointed to MR, surely there would have been an arrest by now. The luminol results would have been apparent immediately and anything else would have been icing on the cake. I hate to say it, but I worry that LE has no clue what happened to Dylan. They have him at his father's house and then....nothing. More and more I think that Dylan walked out of that house and took a ride or was taken by the wrong person.
Of course the Search Warrant form is a template. I'm a paralegal and work with template forms all the time. Someone went into the form and input MR's name and DOB after "Defendant." I just think it's interesting

Regarding Search Warrants in general here, the "Defendants" would always be the owners of the property to be searched though wouldn't they? I think being named as the defendant on a search warrant form just implies that you are the person compelled to allow the search to proceed - even if you aren't necessarily a suspect.
Just a general observation that the word Defendants shouldn't be given any undue weight. I imagine that if search warrants were issued to any other family members, their names would appear as Defendants also?
I don't know if a SW was issued for Dylan's home with Elaine, but it seems it was searched IIRC. There would be lots to seek out there - records of communications with other individuals, digitally or otherwise, that would surely need to be checked out and followed up spring to mind.
I think there is another page of the items seized in the search that was not released. The right side of the page appears to have been cut off, I'm guessing with a paper cutter. It is not cut evenly top to bottom and the page is too narrow. If you look at the top right, it show Pg 1 and then you can see a partial character which was most likely the beginning of the word "of" as in "Pg 1 of 2˝. Not coincidentally Imo the last item on the list uses the last line on the form.
You mean you think it probably occurred like Mark believes it did? Unpossible. I mean, look at all of the evidence and stuff, like...wait...still thinking...well I'm sure it's there because he just looks like a meanie and his demeanor is unusual. Or something.
Referring to my above post, I am attaching the "items" seized list. I think the only way to get an adequate perspective is to put another page of the SW side by side, so I am also attaching page two for reference. For those interested, try blowing up the "items" list to see the partial character beside Pg 1. Also, I find it odd that the lines in the form run past the right margin - imo this would be very unusual for any template format.
Investigators are reviewing recent information including tips, interviews, and reports generated since last November, seeking links that may be helpful as they plan and conduct future searches and interviews, and determine additional evidence analysis needs.
I do not see the difference between what you posted and what Salem has on photo bucket. What am I missing?
I don't either. You can see the documents are sitting on something, maybe a counter? The problem is, they aren't scanned, it's very hard to take a picture of a piece of paper and get it just right where it can be read in it's entirety.
It isn't just you, I also noticed what I thought was a partial character on the edge of the "seized" list, and wonder why that one picture was taken so crooked (part of the page is not visible). Although it could just be a lousy shot and a mark on the copier.Referring to my above post, I am attaching the "items" seized list.

The form is an FBI form, FD-597. As such, it is expected that it would be consistent - usually takes almost an act of Congress to change a federal form AFAIK. Ths form template was last updated in 1994.
I searched for the form but was unable to find it on the FBI's website. I did find a copy of a blank one here: (page 5 of the PDF) http://www.stopfbi.net/sites/default/files/6-Blank forms.pdf
What stands out to me on that blank form is the page number format. All examples I could find online did have page numbers in the format of Page _____ of _____.
This next example is linked as a completed computer version of the form only, and is not related to this case.

What stands out to me on this completed form is that only the last page of the three page receipt has a signature line. As Ghostwheel points out, other examples I found online have a line and the words "Nothing Follows" on the last page of the receipt.
A third thing I noticed on the MR form is that it was signed by Tom Cowing, an investigator with the sheriff's department, even though it is an FBI form. I would have thought La Plata County would have their own form. It probably means nothing; I just felt it was an interesting mix.
I don't know what to think of all this, given that apparently nothing significant came of whatever they found during the search.
