MR said he didn't look for Dylan's backpack, but he looked for the fishing pole, because he "was more concerned about Dylan, and trying to figure out where he might have been".
BS. Dylan brought a backpack with him when he came to visit. If anything, checking to see if Dylan's backpack was still in the house would have given him more information than looking for a stupid fishing pole.
MR brought up the fishing pole from the very beginning. IMO, he used the fishing pole to try to steer the investigation. When that didn't work, he decided to criticize LE for not searching at the reservoir/dam right away.
Now, he's saying that he doesn't believe that Dylan is in the area, and is speculating that Dylan may be in Mexico, Germany, or Australia.
This speculation about Dylan being in another country is not at all logical, and I feel is MR's attempt to criticize LE for not looking for Dylan in these far-fetched places.
He claims that he wants the focus to be on finding Dylan, yet it seems that MR's energy is spent on attempting to deflect the focus away from himself: IOW, don't look at me! Look in Mexico! Look in Germany! Look in Australia!
Dylan is not in a foreign country. MR knows this. He needs to stop making such ridiculous statements, as it only makes him look like a fool, IMO.
Without a doubt, LE has followed all of his recent interviews, and have taken note of everything he's said.
BBM- there is no possible way IMO that a person can get a 14 y/o boy out of the country without being noticed, maybe Mexico, but come on Germany? Dylan does know how to speak for crying out loud, a drugged Dylan would be a dead give away. What is he thinking??? MOO
For crying out loud - MR "embraces" being at the top of LE's list.
This has got to be THE most ridiculous & disturbing thing I've EVER heard a parent of a missing child state.
NO ONE "embraces" being at the top of LE's list. It's not a badge of honor. It's not something to strive for. It's certainly not something to be proud of.
Yet, MR "embraces" it.
BBM - me too, who embraces being a suspect?
Yet, he says:
Wonder if he this agreement was with the LEO in the room??? Interesting that he hasn't been doing the once of week meeting or phone call as he has said previously he was doing that.
BBM - I wondered that as well, wasn't it MR that first mentioned the weekly "communications" with LE, it could have been EH, but IMO either way, if my child was missing I wouldn't wait 7 mths to
start having a weekly call. MOO
Quote:
"One of the agreements we had in this Conflict Resolution Meeting to communicate once a week. So I made it...marked it on my calender that l day every week I am going to touch base with LE."
Amazing to me that he wasn't already contacting them. I'd be camped on their doorstep if my son was missing. And I wouldn't be criticizing them publicly every chance I got, either.
BBM - If my child were missing, I don't think I'd have to "mark it on the calendar" to contact LE for an update, I think that I'd be calling them so much that they would know what time it was by the phone ring. MOO
Did we already hear that Mark went to T's house twice?
Did he really go to T's house twice, or was this just damage control on his earlier statements (went to T's house and talked to T, and then went to T's house and no one was home)?
If he went to T's house twice, then why didn't he say this on the Dr. Phil show when AZGrandma called him on the two different versions?
During the show, he kept interrupting me, when I was finally able to ask the question and then he answered. I asked him how can it be that he went to T's house and talked to him, then the next version was that he went to T's house and nobody was there, how do you talk to someone that isn't there. THAT was when he said that he went to T's house and nobody was there, then he went to T's house after he reported Dylan missing. Version 3. Great job IMO of combining the two previous versions.
Oh, I don't know -- I've seen an awful lot of questioning (unwarranted, IMO) about who is helping with the official page. And on that one we at least know who the admin is, so the questions about FDF seem reasonable. IMO.
Considering who the admin of FDF is, questions about that page do seem reasonable IMO.
I don't recall Mark mentioning the planning of a search. I do recall Elaine mentioning a search, a massive search she termed it. It does not appear to be coordinated by either parent, but by the Dylan Redwine Taskforce (law enforcement).
He mentioned a search in mid June, EH also mentioned a search in mid June. My first impression was that they were talking about the same search. It does seem to be a LE search that they both were aware of. MOO.
Who is the administrator of the official page?
Katt Hawkins, while she is undergoing chemo, on days that she is not able to, she has people that assist her. Wonderful lady.
Dylan could very well be in a foreign country. Or anywherre in the U.S.
Please don't suggest that others should not look for Dylan across the U.S. and the world.
BBM - How? How would a person get a 14 y/o out of the country without anyone noticing??!! Unless they had some wild scheme to have him heavily sedated, long enough for a multi hour flight, Dylan does know how to speak, scream, shout, etc. If Dylan were taken out of the country by unknown kidnappers, or known kidnappers, he still has to go through airport security. The only option would be going through MX, in which, if you've ever been down there, it's hit & miss on whether or not your vehicle is searched. Federal PO in MX and also unsavory people in MX stop cars even after the border & search. So I find another country very unlikely. MOO.
I certainly understand every comment. Sounds exactly what you have to do to get boys Dylan's age awake when they have a day off...regardless of what they said the night before.
I can see shaking a child's shoulder to wake them, talking to them, etc trying to wake them up, but for crying out loud, how many versions do we get? I can't wait until the next interview for version #1478 of how he tried to wake Dylan and he did/didn't answer him. MOO.
Did Dylan bring his passport to Mark's?
Probably not, Durango doesn't require them. :floorlaugh:
I have no idea. If international kidnappers are involved, a passport for Dylan would be no trouble to get.
True, a passport would not be difficult to get, IMO a 14 y/o unwilling traveler would be another story. Might raise an eyebrow or two. MOO.
Does Dylan even have a passport?
If you think one can't be gotten illegally, you are mistaken.
Oops, I quoted you and MG, but please see my comment above for MG, still MOO.
Dylan being 14 makes it far less likely he was removed from the country, IMO. Would he be muzzled? Have a gag in his mouth? He is not a five-year old who could be convinced Mommy does not want him anymore, or that they will hurt his puppy if he does not cooperate and fly to Thailand with them.
Absolutely agree, IMO there is NO possible way to get a teenager that has been kidnapped through customs without someone noticing something.
If the guy comes on the show, he is guilty.
If the guy doesn't come on the show, he is guilty.
It's really kind of humorous. Confirmation something or other.
I think the phrase is confirmation bias, it works both way MOO. If the guy comes on the show, he's a hero, if he doesn't come on the show, why would he subject himself to the wrath of an angry ex, it is pretty humorous when it's realized that it can go both ways huh? MOO.
I recall MR talking about following the Dylan threads on WS. Maybe he could just join up here and contribute/answer questions/etc.?
I wish he would, I feel kind of exposed.
So, inconclusive is not a possible outcome according to you?
I didn't say anything in regards to inconclusive and that wasn't the quote that I was responding to.
