CO - Dylan Redwine, 13, Vallecito, 19 Nov 2012 - #1

[Pensfan]

I wonder how Dylan's friends reacted when he texted them that he would be at their home at 6:30 am. That is very early for teens. I think it is very unlikely that a teenager planned that 6:30 am meeting time. I wished the friends would state if Dylan was texting them or if they actually spoke with him.

his phone hasn’t been used since around 8 p.m. Sunday.

Please tell me when/why a 13 year old would quit using their phone at 8 pm at night???
He was back near his friends - and I don't know of any kids that age that wouldn't have been texting and making plans all night long???

I wonder how long he was to stay with his Dad??

Mark Redwine and Dylan’s mother, Elaine Redwine, divorced in 2007.

They previously shared custody, but in September she was granted full custody of Dylan. Why?

Could the reason be due to them moving to another area/county in CO?

Okay. So we are back to the version where Dad leaves at 7:30 am and sees his son at home, then he returns at 11:30, from his 4 hours of doing errands, and his son is gone.

So why didn't Dylan ask his Dad for a ride that morning?

 

[scorekeeper]

He needs to come home. This picture breaks my heart.

So something is not right with the story.

There are a few ways it could make sense:

1. Dylan made plans with his friends, but never told his Dad, and did not ask him for a ride that morning.

2. Dylan made plans with his friends, and asked his Dad, but he said NO. So Dylan tried to hitch a ride instead.

3. Dylan made plans with his friends for 6:30 am, but he was no longer able to communicate with them to change his plans. :rose:


I am going to go with 3.

Hate to be cynical....but dad needs to be examined closely. Last person to see the child.

If dad knew Dylan was coming, don't you think the majority of his errands would be completed before Dylan arrived? And why would dad run errands so early and not take Dylan with him, since Dylan was up and dressed at that hour?

So many questions....

Have any articles stated where Dylan's phone is now? tia

Two things that really stick out to me 1. Custody recently changed from joint to sole custody of mom, why? And- What happened around 8 pm Sunday that made cell phone use stop? This is not going to end well IMO. Where are you Dylan?

One of the links above quotes mom as saying phone and charger and backpack are missing.

Oh, kd23, I so don't want to go there but I also keep coming back to #3 and also his dad needs to really answers some questions (I get a hinky feeling about his dad - and I don't like typing that at all).

But there is a ray of hope because in the one article the kids said his dad did come ask them if they had seen him....but his dad was the last person to see him....

But something is just NOT right about Dylan not using his phone after 8 pm and making plans for early morning but not showing up....and those darn errands....

Good! Let's hope Dylan's phone pinged for days.

Wow...really?? YIKES!!

From the link:
"Ryan Nava, 13, a friend of Dylan’s said in a phone interview Saturday that Dylan was originally going to Bayfield to visit his friends Sunday night but then changed that to meet them at 6:30 a.m. Monday.

Ryan said he and his friends expected Dylan’s father to drive him into town from Vallecito, but Dylan never arrived.

Mark Redwine showed up later asking where Dylan was but the three friends didn’t know.

Ryan said he texted and called Dylan’s phone all day but didn’t get replies."
===========================================================================
So this makes me suspicious of the father. If Dad showed up and asked where Dylan was, then that means that he knew his son was supposed to meet up with his friends that morning.

If so, then WHY would Dad leave at 7;30, to go do errands, without taking Dylan to the friend's house?

Let's hope dad also had his cell phone on and pinging the day Dylan disappeared.

Dylan was supposed to go meet his friends on Sunday night. But at 8 pm he speaks to them and says he will come out the next morning instead. He tells them he will come out at 6:30 am on Monday.

So his friends assumed that his dad was driving him out the next morning. But Dylan never arrives. Early afternoon they get a visit from Dylan's Dad, asking where his son is. The kids don't know where he is, but they had been calling him all morning.

Ok, what does this tell us? We now know that Dad knew that Dylan was supposed to meet up with those friends. So we have to wonder why he never offered to give him a ride that morning, instead of just leaving by himself to go ' do errands.'

Also, it makes me wonder if Dylan and his Dad got into an argument on Sunday night. Dylan was supposed to go see his friends, but cancelled at the last minute. Any parent of a 13 yr old knows what their kid would rather do given their choice of going to hang out with a few friends on a Sunday night, OR sit home alone with one parent. I bet that Dylan wanted to go see his friends that night, and they may have argued about it.

Also, Redwine hadn't seen his son much recently. He may have been surprised at the difference between a 12 yr old and a 13 yr old. His son may have been snippier or snarkier than he expected his ' little boy' to be. And if the boy was upset about not being with his friends, he may have been a bit angry and may have said something to anger his father. It may have set off a chain reaction...?

If Dylan was hanging out with friends for the day, I don't see why Dad would be trying to find him in the early afternoon. When kids hang out, it's usually for the majority of the day. Kids wrap things up at dark or after parents' working hours, etc.. Just seems out of the ordinary. Jmo

That's part of what doesn't make sense about Dad's version of events. Dasd said that he left at 7:30 am to do errands, and Dylan was home at the time. Then Dad returns home at 11:30, and Dylan is gone and he doesn't know where he is.

OKAY, then how did he know to go and ask his three friends " Where is Dylan?"

How would he expect Dylan to have gone the 19 miles to his friend's house?


Makes no sense, imo.
