They were very close with their similarly aged cousins. Cousins also sa abused at the same time by same relative, and mother was eventually commited because of mental illness.
If you go around the corner, about a 1/2 mile away, my great aunt was struck by a car so hard and off the road that she was thrown well into a nearby cornfield and our relatives did not find her body for some time (by then it was too late) . Around 1979-1980. She was a child caregiver...
I just stumbled across this post and realized you're talkin about the body (the man) my grandfather found in his Valley at the house where I'M LIVING RIGHT NOW. I had forgotten about that. It was creepy because my mother and my grandfather and others walked right by there weekly if not daily...
I just saw one of the pictures (but it's blurred around the underwear- so you can't at all tell if it his him), but now I can't find it. He has soiled underwear in his mouth. I think he was also wearing womens clothes, but I didn't look that close.
Maybe that area was the focus in the beginning, it was already thoroughly searched over and over, so they want to try a different area now (one that just happens to be an area that points more to Dad as a participant)?
To answer the "what would you ask the family or LE you could ask them a question", mine would be 'what does dad's cell phone record look like?' To support Mark's story, it would have to be on when Dylan is not by his side and it would have to match where he said he traveled.
If it was...
I thought someone posted was previously charged with drunk driving, and alcohol was mentioned in the incident in 2008. I think it's also likely that the "child neglect" charge was related to alcohol (I think Dylan was maybe 5ish?).
Does Elaine say that Mark is an alcoholic or accuse him of...
I know we all want care about Dylan alot, and want to believe worst case scenario is that Dylan was a little crabby at being tired - which is completely reasonable and probable in my mind..
But there is the possibility that it went farther than that on his end. He's swung at Dad before when...
I think it's safe to assume the phone was fully charged before Dylan got on the plane - as mom was careful to give him a cell phone and probably would have checked that. but it could have a weak battery, so that doesn't mean it held charge long.
but if Dylan arrived around 6:00 or 6:30...
That was one of the things that makes me suspicious - the fact that MR doesn't seem to suspect anyone in Elaine's family. I'd immediately consider the possibility that someone was overreacting to how much Dylan didn't want to go there, and maybe took and hid him for the duration of the trip...
I don't know if this is significant, but Hess said she though Dylan arrived at 6 or 6:30. If you factor in getting baggage, going to mcdonalds and Walmart in downtown durango (?), grocery shopping, and travel it seems like a tight fit to get home by the time his phone goes dead by 8.
I think...
