If Dylan didn’t disappear voluntarily, I am becoming convinced that whatever happened happened in the area of the grain shed where his boots were found. We have two possible clues right now; the boots and the clean, locked truck with the seat and drive in the wrong positions. Unfortunately, these clues are 5 miles apart from each other. What scenario would make them fit?
1) I wonder if Dylan had a farm hand, (or other associate/friend/neighbor), follow him in his truck to the grain shed while he drove the grain truck so he wouldn’t have to walk back 5 miles in the rain? Did they end up in a disagreement and Dylan ended up dead? Why/how were Dylan’s boots removed? This unknown person then disposed of Dylan’s body, drove back to the trailer, washed and locked the pickup, and left in whatever manner he had arrived in the first place. This person, if he exists, had all day and night to dispose of Dylan’s body. We know Dylan last spoke to hi gma at 6:51 am. LE tells us that the last ping was at 3:41 pm somewhere near the farm. Does LE have a bunch of other pings that day? What cell tower did they bounce off of?
2) If someone accosted Dylan while he was storing the grain truck and somehow removed his boots in the process, how does the pickup truck come into play? You wouldn’t walk 5 miles with him. If you had your own truck at the shed, you could conceivably drive him back to the trailer, dead or alive, and then dispose of him using Dylan’s p/u. But why would you do that? If you kill someone, you want to dispose of the body as quickly as possible, not drive a dead man’s truck, with a dead man’s body while you leave your own vehicle at the dead man’s farm.
3) Was there a second person at the shed who drove them back to the trailer? Why? If so, why would they wash Dylan’s truck?
4) If Dylan was accosted after he walked back to his trailer from the shed, why are his boots at the shed?
Mom said he often walked the miles between his trailer/farmland to the shed area. She said he wouldn’t walk the roads, but would take a shortcut through the barren land. Given the searches to date, Dylan’s family thought that this area had been thoroughly covered and is why they pressed ECSO for more searches on the NV side of the area.
Looking at the map, it’s pretty easy to figure out where he probably left the road to cut across to his farm from the shed.
Number one works the best for me:

This scenario of a friend/neighbor makes the most sense, with the truck being returned, washed and locked. A random attacker probably wouldn't do that. It had to be someone who was certain no one else was at the home and someone who felt comfortable staying there for awhile longer.
Also, it seems more likely that for someone to get that close to him, it would have to be someone he wasn't worried about. I don't think anyone could sneak up on him that easily. The surrounding area is so flat and clear. And he has his gun with him, most likely. CC said his finger was on the trigger with the first incident with the stranger with no shoes.
Why/how were Dylan’s boots removed?
If he was with a friend there, who had come to give him a ride, maybe DR had been sitting and waiting for him---took off his boots briefly to dry his feet, clean mud off boots? Or maybe the friend didnt want him to get in with muddy wet boots?
Before they returned to the trailer, they got into a fight that went sideways?
