CO - Dylan Redwine, 13, Vallecito, 19 Nov 2012 - #3

[cindysue]

I thought it was said that they initially searched at the lake due to the phone pinging there. ?? Or was that just speculation?

These threads are all moving too fast. I'm just Googling news on the case to try to keep up.

I don't know if the dad told them to look there, but someone said the dogs tracked to there, so I don't know which is true myself

 

[Snoopster]

But how can that be if police have reason to rule out the possibility that Dylan ran away? If there was even a chance that Dylan left of his own accord and did not want to be found, do you think that police would announce to the media that Dylan did not run away?

Then we have the fact that police are looking for video from the time that Dylan left the airport with his Dad until the time Dad says he returned from running errands (including a meet with his lawyer) the next day. If they were convinced that all was fine Sunday night and Dylan might have sneaked away after Dad left the next morning, why would they need video from the evening before?

MOO

Clearly LE are checking out the father's version of things, as they should. As they should in any case...where it is just proper protocol in any case. It sounds as if, so far there is no one else who can verify Dylan's whereabouts since leaving the airport.

Please let today be the day that Dylan is found.

I discounted that initially. But now, I am not so sure.

I just can't get past the thought that this second boy hasn't been identified. The resident knew Dylan but didn't know the second boy? The second boy was never reported missing. So I'm stuck not quite believing that Dylan was actually seen.

The lack of text messages from 8 pm sunday should be screaming at us!
My son 16 yrs ol has 10,000 text messages a month! They eat breathe and sleep texting!

If he had plans to meet up with friends he would have been there and if he couldnt make it he would have sent them a message. something bad happend to this child Sunday Evening is my guess everything he had with him is gone.. Its like he never got there!

From what I understand he wasnt reported missing till late afternoon or evening!
Something is terribly wrong!

I wish the ppl involved would take a poly!
That might clear up a few things!

Here, sneeze into this envelope and send it to me. I could use a break from my snarky teens and my self-absorbed husband's expectations. The kids loved me back when they were little. Now my 16 year tells me she doesn't think of me as her mother, I'm just another person who happens to live in the same house. (sigh...) Hubby just tells me to stop making her mad. Yup, that's it. I'm not parenting, I'm just making my teenager mad.

I'll be watching my mailbox and preparing to inhale!:seeya:

LOL In the mail as i type. Sent cha a double dose just so the kids can realize Xmas is coming and Mom has not baked,shopped or done any of the traditional things. We really need and appreciate Mom. Enclosed some antibiotic too for the throat infection that came with. Hide in your bedroom cuz ya dont want them to get it :great:

 

[LadyBugSTL]

I'm not sure, now that I think of it, that dad has said he stayed up late Sunday....
I am also sick and have a fever, so I could be wrong

Me toooo!! (which one of you'se guys is 'tagious!?) :waitasec:

But after playing catch-up this morning, I'm wondering if some of the stuffiness in my noggin might not be from it being full of all the inconsistencies and unanswered questions that come up each time a new tidbit of info is released?

Bless the soul that's putting together a timeline for us - that's got to be a daunting task!

:getwell:

Get well soon. Sorry your sick too :seeya:

Aw hugs for you TGI. I was devastated when my college freshman son did not want to come home for a visit because he "has a life now" … ugh!!
Like he did not have a life for 18 years before college?? huh?? :banghead:

Send me the envelope too!

On it's way. I have plenty of germs to go around :boohoo:

ooops...I see enzeder already found this for you.

 

[TxLady2]

thanks!!!!

I wonder if DR wanted to be there? I read that the visit was court ordered. I understand that divorces can be messy and parents can use kids as "pawns", but I wonder if Mom had good reason not to voluntarily allow DR to visit his Dad. How old is the brother? Do they have diff Dads? (i'm def not as caught up as i thought...my apologies)

Some thoughts... it's strange to me that both parents shared custody, and then mom petitioned for full custody and the dad only got visitation. Almost sounds to me like she was trying to keep the dad from seeing him at all. Judges will almost always side with the mom, so maybe dad had to go to court just to get visitation rights, and the judge ruled that she had to let him go. Doesn't really matter to me whether he wanted to go or not, but I would have to question...since he used to live in that area, and had friends there, why would he have NOT wanted to go for a visit with his dad, just so he could be with his friends.
IIRC, the older brother is 21, and from the video of the vigil, he looks a lot like the dad. So his visits would be strictly voluntary, since he is an adult. To clarify, in the video it had his name and age on the screen while he was speaking and I'm pretty sure he had the same name.

Since there are different interpretations on when the cell phone was last used (8pm Sunday night vs. sometime Sunday night) based on Mom's and LE's statements, I don't think the 8pm time should be looked at as a hard fact. MOO.

 

[SCHMAE]

If this has already been posted, sorry. There's so much to read if you're away from the computer even just a few hours, much less to sleep !
What if he and his friends were up to something, very TEENAGER and yet not right, like drinking or drugs? I'm not trying to throw all these kids under the bus here but it's pretty common for boys of that age to grab a bottle from grandpa's cabinet or maybe get some weed from someone's older sibling or something. So the fear of being exposed for that might keep them from being forthcoming, even though it's much less serious than a missing boy . Maybe there were all going to meet or all did meet to have a smoke or a drink and now are way too afraid to tell. Thoughts?

 

[SCHMAE]

The only thing that makes me wonder, Clu,

is some locals have said there is very spotty cell coverage in that neighborhood. So it makes me wonder if he set out walking, to find better service. [ but then again, Dad has a landline. So he didn't really have to do that.]

I always keep coming back to Dad. :angel:

We have a landline and my children act like it's the plague. They won't touch it or use it for anything. At Dylan's age a landline looks like a silk spinning wheel from the dark ages............does not compute.

Task force continues search for missing Colo. boy

The boy’s mother, Elaine Redwine, told ABC News she thinks her ex-husband, Mark Redwine, may be involved in her son’s disappearance

Mark Redwine says he wishes he and his ex-wife could come together at such a difficult time

Either way...this is sad. IMO

 

[SCHMAE]

It is possible. There are two RSO's in the area, apparently. And I bet Dad was telling people that his son was coming for Thanksgiving. Maybe he has a creepy neighbor that took advantage of the opportunity.

eta: He is a very handsome young kid. Maybe an acquaintance of dad's noticed his picture over the months and planned this out. Once he sees dad's truck leave, he comes over quietly and offers Dylan a ride.

Any idea if those RSO's target teen boys ?
Not to be disgusting but RSOs' generally
stick to the same gender/ age victim throughout .
TIA

I think they're trying to make him look like a worse father than he is. Dylan was there for a visit for Labor Day, the custody was changed on September 21st, and this is his first visit since then. Dylan, his brother and their mother moved to Colorado Springs on July 1, and he's been back in school since August. I don't think it's that unusual not to have frequent visits when the parent and child live so far apart. MOO

I agree with you, I think the media is spinning things. And IMO, the mom is making it sound pretty bad as well. She may have reasons to, for all I know, but it's not unusual for the woman to paint the man in a poor light. Women can be vindictive and a lot of them use their kids as leverage, because they want to "punish" the ex. Believe me, we went through this for years from my hubby's ex.

This is true. However, either way it's enough of a problem to lead them to believe that Dylan is not a runaway.

CR calls him his step dad here
http://abcnews.go.com/US/missing-bo...-disappearance/story?id=17813458#.ULcJjI4RtS8
"When he was afraid in any situation, he knew he could call me and I would drop everything and go out there, first thing," Dylan's brother, Cory Redwine, 21, told ABC News. "He knew that me, my mom, my step-dad, any of us, if he called us and said, 'I need your help,' he knew we'd be there."

I don't think so. I think he is referring to his step-dad, mom's new husband. He is talking about Dylan visiting dad and needing or wanting to come home (to mom's) and he or his mom or his step-dad would go pick him up.
