Elaine Redwine told ABC News she was having a difficult time getting in touch with her ex-husband about their son.
"He hasn't had any contact with us. [My older son] tried to get a hold of him by texting him, and he wouldn't respond," she said. "I just find it odd that at a time like this, he would be so evasive."
Mark Redwine declined to speak to ABC News.

Apparently on top of the bbm above, mom and dad aren't commenting in the same articles. In the abcnews story in your post, mom talks about suspicions of dad. Dad declinces to speak to ABC news.


In thedenverpost.com article where dad spoke (only time we've heard from him), "Elaine Redwine couldn't be reached for comment."

In one of the first articles where mom was interviewed extensively with Dylan's brother and mom's significant other, dad's cell rang and rang and couldn't be reached at home.

As I see it, really not together. I can understand why though, I think.

Where is Dylan's coat? I can't imagine he would leave the house to go fishing wearing shorts and no coat.

Redwine is described as 5 feet tall, 105 pounds, blond hair, blue eyes and fair complexion. He was last seen wearing a black Nike shirt, black basketball nylon shorts, black Jordan tennis shoes and a two-tone blue and white Duke Blue Devils baseball hat.

The mother of 13-year-old boy Dylan Redwine, who disappeared a week ago during a court ordered visit to his father, fears that the dad may have done something to "remove Dylan from the situation."

Oh no... I know I'm still a few pages behind but for the dad not to even have spoken to the Mom or his other son... it looked bad before and keeps getting worse IMO.

"He hasn't had any contact with us. [My older son] tried to get a hold of him by texting him, and he wouldn't respond," she said. "I just find it odd that at a time like this, he would be so evasive."

I am also concerned with the other statements mom made in this article!
I pray they find Dylan!lease:

I saw that, but you said "speak" so I took that literally. Sorry for the confusion.

I should have linked to it to begin with.

TY. I'm not sure how exactly to read that, since mom's sole custody was recently established in September, were they still working out Holidays? I've never read that to mean dad went to petition the court for the visitation over Thanksgiving, so much as mom and dad had to attend court for normal custodial issues which would include holidays and Thanksgiving was given to dad. Perhaps they switched off and mom was to get Christmas vacation, dad would get Feb. vacation. The judge "granting" visitation for the Thanksgiving holiday doesn't really explain if dad was seeking time with Dylan or the judge assigned him this time. If anyone follows my jibber - jabber.

I know what you mean. But I bet dad fought mom over custody. He may have filed for sole custody when he knew they were moving in July. Mom could have filed...but I bet 1 of my cats, that no matter what....dad fought mom tooth and nail just to prove a point!! And yes, the standard visitation schedule could have been in effect...

And no I don't have the money to pay for the divorce papers but i could chip in my :twocents: if someone pays....LOL

the following lands randomly: you can discuss the article and snip it here but that does not mean that we are going to speculate about Dad until or less law enforcement calls him a suspect or a person of interest.

bumping this up. Discuss the article please.. that means what the mom said. That does not mean that we start sleuthing divorce records, etc of family members who have not been named a suspect or person or interest.

ok...ok...I give. Had no idea dad just lost custody. Totally missed that. Also missed any interview with dad. Since moms intuition trumps any evidence....then this case is pretty much over. Except fining the body of Dylan. I thought I read that a judge ordered a Thanksgiving week visit to dad with Dylan. Was it just a suggestion? Missed that, also. Sorry. :blushing:

No one is saying that mothers intuition trumps all evidence. That's ridiculous. However, certain parties version of events raises question about what happened IMHO and that's what people are keying in on.

Dad has every right to fight for custody of his child. Every child needs 2 parents - a mom and a dad. Moms are not always the better parent.

If this dad loves his son, and I have every reason to believe he does, than he should fight. He has every right to remain a part of his child's life, especially if mom is going to up and move the child away.

We don't know what happened here. Sleuthing the dad is off limits. Moms (and dads) caught up in custody issues are likely to say anything, regardless of the veracity of the statement.

Until LE gives us an indication that there is foul play here, the dad is off limits. You may discuss what is in MSM and mom's statements, but you may not sleuth, accuse, bash or trash dad.

I hope that makes everything perfectly clear. If not, pm a mod and get clarification before posting something that will go against TOS or the rules in this case.

Just a quick reply to alot of these things here, I live about an hour from where this is going on, have been out putting up flyers myself. We visit the area of Durango alot, and as for Bayfield it is very small, and many don't even live in the areas all year. We have friends that had children that have grown up now, but they did hitch rides so to speak. We have yet to actually hear from any news around in the area that the father has made any statement, other than to the local police. Not answering phone calls. The news coverage here is not good. Little information, but have been following the case, and reading the families replies on FB. A family member has shared that the father went to wake Dylan up when he was leaving to take him to his friends, but he didn't get up, so he left him sleeping. As for the fishing pole well that was news to alot of us....
IMO I have thought this whole thing was hinky from the start. I am also really mad that this boys disappearance has been so low key!

Not able to be reached for comment and declining to speak with a news organization are two completely different scenarios, IMHO. The former indicates the person just could not be contacted at the time they went to press and the latter implies the person was reached but made a conscious decision not to engage in conversation.

Well, now we know Mike is the step dad from this article: http://abcnews.go.com/US/missing-bo...-disappearance/story?id=17813458#.ULP7eY4RtS8

I knew that, but couldn't say before MSM per TOS. I also knew the NM dive team were going to dive the lake, but couldn't say anything about that either per TOS.

Good people are working this case in La Plata County, CO. I have faith they will figure out what happened.

I also must keep reminding myself, this is a 13 y.o. boy we are talking about. I have a son one year younger, I won't allow him to shop at Walmart alone. I find it strange to not have tabs on him at least, I am a bit clingy to my kids, some say paranoid, but... I want to know where, when, with whom and when your going to be home. And I check .... I just find it odd that a child at that age could be missing for so long, or was even left alone all day and not missed for that many hours. Heck, my 24 year old likes to ride the river, I tell him never alone. Just not wise. Does anyone else find this odd at this age?

Yes - I do find it odd. I also was surprised that Jessica Ridgeway was allowed to walk a portion of her trip to school alone at age 10. Just not a good idea to do much of anything alone, child or adult. Safety in numbers.

.... patiently waiting for LE to identify a POI.... :jail:

I think a lot of us are!!!!

Where did the original information come from stating he had been texting his friends all day and that he had plans to meet up with them on Monday? Was this just speculation or information the father gave LE? tia

Oh ITA w/you, it just seems to me that mom makes herself readily available for interviews, searches, etc. But I guess she has to sleep sometimes and therefore can't always be reached for comment even if she'd like to comment 24/7.

Darn. I checked his fb, he writes "CNN" and "CNN Headline News" so I was over watching CNN. Didn't connect CNN Headline News with HLN. Might be time for a nap.
