ok going with your theory would a would be kidnapper really be looking in a mountainous rural area where there is one road in one way out? IMO that would be like placing your head in a noose and asking to be caught.

I think is is possible, as there are lots of hunters and other unknown people in the area at this time.

I also want to mention that it is still in the back of my mind that DR is o.k. and is hiding out somewhere. He obviously preferred to stay in the Bayview area where he previously lived to be with his friends, rather than being uprooted to Colorado Springs. (I know his Mother said he liked it in Colorado Springs, but I have enough experience with boys that age to know they would prefer to be with the friends they have had for years.)

so a 13 yr old can hide out for almost 3 weeks without anyone catching sight of him, with no money and without contacting anyone he knows? I can't see him deliberately hurting his Mom or brother like that at all, and to not see any of his friends anywhere, not go to school, it seems too far fetched to me.

IMO a 13yr old knows they would be grounded for a long long time and a load of other strife if they disappeared for even one day let alone almost 3 weeks.

possible but is it probable? considering that Dylan has not been seen publicly since the sunday evening and although he was really looking forward to seeing his friends he failed to contact them to let them know he was changing his plans

Yes, it is probable. There is no doubt whatsoever in my mind that Dylan spent the night with Mark.

I think the best approach we as websleuthers can take at this time is to go with that and see what we can come up with. As it is, all the wild speculation and disbelief of MR has not gotten us anywhere in assisting in the search for Dylan. We need to forget about the divorce and all the accusations from that and go with the fact that Dylan spent the night with his father. Maybe we can get somewhere besides reposting the same thing everyday.

But that's the thing - it was Sunday night and his first night with his dad at his kind of out of the way home. Who was ever going to see him that night?

And is it more likely that a father who has fought to have his son visit, paid for his fares and picked him up at the airport is going to do away with him? IMO that is possible, but less probable lease:

Yes, he has friends in the area. There is no way that you can say he has not contacted them and be aiding in his quest by them. A teen his age may feel that his Mom hurt him by removing him from the area where he wanted to stay.

Where Jaycee was kidnapped is pretty quiet. It's a small community as well as a tourist spot. I've vacationed there many, many times. There is really one main road that goes all around the lake with side roads in different directions away from the lake. And the ride from Lake Tahoe to Antioch was more like 3 1/2 hours.

I know he has friends in the area. You can't say he has contacted any of them considering he has not used his phone or accessed any social media since he disappeared. How are 13yr olds going to help him? a day or so maybe but not this long, they don't hav e the resources available to them. I think if he had felt hurt by Mom moving him from the area then wouldn't it have been more likely for him to do something sooner than now, like the last time he stayed in sepember? We don't know that he wanted to stay in the area.

 

[Seajay]

I had asked yesterday I think it was if either parent had family who still lived in the area. Or one of them who had a cabin in the area. I'm looking at possibilities where he could have left the area or holed up somewhere. And who knows WHY a 13 year old does anything???? LOL How well can you ever really know what a teen is thinking or wants?? You end up knowing what the 13 year old WANTS you to know.

 

[Seajay]

Can you call them and ask?

:floorlaugh: I doubt very seriously they'll even take my call let alone answer that question.

what makes you have no doubt whatsoever that Dylan spent the night with his Dad? I wish I could say I tought that but honestly I just can't see it,Saturdays search tells me something totally different.

Just want to say that my thoughts and thanks are with Ransom and all those who will be searching today. Stay safe!

With all my heart, I want Dylan to be found safe and sound, somewhere, somehow. I want him to wake up Christmas morning in his own bed, to open that new smart phone. I pray that somehow this can happen.

But realistically, as each day passes, I know the odds of that happening are smaller and smaller. So if it can't work out to be the miracle I know we all want, I still pray that he is found soon. That he can be brought home to his family and give them some closure... some peace. Because as a mom, I think not knowing, never knowing, always wondering what happened, would be the worst nightmare of all. JMO

 

[Seajay]

I've also wondered about the possibility that Dylan had a burner phone. One that wasn't traced to him. Just some thoughts I've had.

I know. When I was 9, a girl my age disappeared on her way to school. Other kids saw her walking but she never made it. LE looked for her for years. Her parents never moved or changed their phone number, just in case she could contact them. They both passed on without ever knowing what happened to her. To this day, no one knows except the person who took her. I've thought of her often through the years and what it must have been like for her parents. I watched her two brothers grow up and marry, have families.

There is local boy here who went missing many years ago. Before I was born. They have alleged all along that he was abducted and murdered but have never been able to find any trace of him or anything at all. Sadly, his parents too passed on not ever knowing what happened to their little boy. That just breaks my heart. His older brother has spent his life looking for him and has recently over the last year put all of his money and belongings etc towards paying to excavate out a mine where he strongly believes his brothers remains are.

The courage, strength and persistence of families that are put in a situation like this, just blows me away. They don't give up.


I pray every day that Dylan will come home. We won't ever give up on you!

She took a new job in CS, she's director of Financial Aid or something like that. I thought MR had 4 sons, but it might be only 3. I've seen nothing anywhere saying he was jealous of her career or trying to destroy it; do you have a link to something that does? TIA

Loosing a child is devastating so it may take years before ER is able to return to work.

If MR didn't agree with ER's decision to move Dylan out of Durango, legally he couldn't stop her because she was awarded full custody of Dylan in September.

Durango is a close knit community and Dylan's dad and friends live there so MR may have wanted him to stay there but she wouldn't listen to him so he took matters into his own hands. JMO

Seajay that had to be so scary for you when you were young
Question....have you sleuthed that girl since you grew up ?
It would be very interesting to see what is known about that
case now.

Of course anyone can speculate, theorize, and discuss further using the scenario of Dylan having spent the night with dad and met with foul play after dad left for his Monday morning errands.. and many of us have done exactly this for multiple threads earlier on..in those many threads there is every possibility OTHER THAN DAD that could be thought of and followed tbrough in theorizing such scenarios and possibilities..

Again anyone is free to continue that discussion, but wanted to make sure that for any newcomers to this case who are unaware THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS THREADS earlier on(all linked to in the OP) where we brainstormed thoroughly these OTHER THAN DAD possibilities..

For many of us we did not start out immediately zoned in on dad..that came later after pages and threads of theories and possibilities OF ANY/ALL OTHER THAN DAD, MARK ..these numerous threads are proof positive that Mark was not always the honed in focus here for many of us and we even continued to attempt to keep looking elsewhere past the point of reason just for the simple fact that many of us did not want it to be dad that possibly is responsible for Dylan not being here..

Just wanting to clarify this issue for any who may not be aware of these multiple threads of discussion looking at all possibilities other than dad..eace:

On the Find Dylan fb page under the "Recent posts by others", someone posted a message to the Admin about contacting Texas EquuSearch -- (she included the email she sent to TES), Denise responded they had already approached LE about this and LE said they're asking people to hold off (I'm paraphrasing).

Now we know that's been formally presented through the proper channels. Hopefully if this weekend doesn't bring answers, LE will be open to bringing in outside help.

I was just going through the comments on "Find Missing Dylan Redwine" and saw the Texas Equusearch post you are referring to. Here's the link to the actual post...
