oh my!! your son showed her, didn't he? :floorlaugh: :floorlaugh:

Oh yes.....he has showed all of us for the past 24 years!!

 

[shefner]

Leaving to go celebrate my gs 14th birthday with about 15 other teenagers. Hopefully I will return. lol

If you don't, we will open a thread for ya....and 15 teenagers will be our suspects!

The strangest thing about the Walmart photo to me is that Dylan is not texting/playing with a phone.

I've never been in a Walmart around here that had much for cell reception. Maybe that one is the same way.

 

[Flutterflies]

My son is the same way! My niece recently got married, and my son wouldn't smile in any of the pics...even the professional ones! I was so pissed at him, but that's the way he is. And I can assure everyone, he has a happy home life. He's just a contrarian.

I love that sentence. I may be using it to describe my sulky ones. :floorlaugh:

Still, seems odd he is not trying. Often you can text when you can't call, as we have heard. Anyway, just an observation.

I would never attempt to determine anything from a photograph. I've seen too many severely abused children smiling away in photos to count. A photograph is a split second in time frozen. Nothing more. IMO.

Black eyes, burn marks...I'll consider.

I've wondered if that's really the best quality they can get from the two pictures, given the FBI's involvement and capabilities. It's just a guess but I think they'd be able to enhance it more for their own investigative purposes. Possibly what they released was "enough" for the public's purpose to see what he looked like and was wearing, but as bbm- if they were able to determine some sign of physical abuse or the like on Dylan I can see where they might not want that blaringly obvious.
jmo.

For all we know, those photos may just well be enhanced already; thus, why it took awhile for authorities to release the images to the public. jmo

I couldn't agree more!

Dylan is a young teenage boy. Their moods change in an instant over anything. For all we know the he wanted to play basketball instead of posing for a pic. lol

Personally, I was commenting on what I saw in this particular photo. Never said or thought that the photo was representative of Dylan's entire life. I think we all know teens can be moody.

 

[Amster]

According to ER: "Mark grabbed me and took a swing at my son [Corey]."

I'm not sure what state you live in, but in my state our family code defines domestic violence as something that includes the behavior above. Do you not think it's domestic violence to grab your spouse and take a swing at your son? Well, the law does, in most jurisdictions.

I didn't realize he was arrested for domestic violence.

 

[IHAVENOCLUE]

If today's search doesn't bring any answers, I'd like to see LE amp up the gameplan.

Snow is in the forecast.

We know from 12/6:

Since the warrant was served, the search for Dylan has pared back as far as the numbers of law enforcement
officers working
the case.
But dozens of investigators from the La Plata County Sheriff's Office, Durango police, the FBI and other agencies continue to investigate tips each day, he said.


I feel like we're at a crossroads- this investigation could go quiet, LE could step up the pressure, or they could change their gameplan.

On 12/6, Sgt. Bender said, “We're left with kidnapping and foul play” ... They obviously can't put out an Amber Alert and if they have no leads and Dylan is hours or states away, it seems they need to change the approach. Get the message out, get in front of the story,... something.


I have an idea.... how about a PRESS CONFERENCE?????

BBM

Yes...

A Press Conference...

And bring in TES?

Those are two of my ideas!

(Unless something turns up from today's search... but then... we would still need a Press Conference... :smile: )

JMO

 

[JustCryssy]

I've noticed the dark circles under Dylan's eyes in the pics... but I think he got that from his dad.

Not the Walmart here. My son & his girlfriend, and my housekeeper & her husband text all the time. My son's girlfriend worked at 3 different Walmarts over a few years, and my housekeeper's husband has worked at the one in town here for several years. They always have to go outside or go into the Subway there to send texts. As far as I know we have no mountains here, just lousy reception. Then again, I am pretty geographically challenged or something like that.

 

[PlainJaneDoe]

From the posts I've read so far - do I have this right?

If he sent texts to DR and waited for an answer before checking with the friends, he is guilty and sending texts to cover it up.

If he had gone directly to check with the friends, he's guilty and knew he wouldn't answer a text

If he waited to call the police, he was guilty and working on covering his tracks

If he had called them right away, he's guilty and already knew he was dead

If he avoids the press, he's guilty and doesn't want people to realize it (or doesn't care)

If he talks to the press, he's guilty and just wanting attention for himself

If he ignores ER, he's guilty and just being cold and unhelpful

If he talks to ER, he's guilty and killed him to get her back into the area

If he says he passed the LDT, he's guilty and lying about it

If he says his LDT was inconclusive, he's guilty and lied about it during the test

If he stays away from the searches, he's guilty and being uncooperative

If he helps with the searches, he's guilty and wants to be around to hide evidence.

Wish I could figure out how to mult-quote, but to all posters with contrarian sons..... :Banane35:

Good luck! :what:

Oh Lord, let me send you Paul. He would break you, I promise.

When he was born, from day 1, he came home from the hospital crying his eyes out. He was inconsolable and I felt helpless and hopeless. My mother, who lived a couple hours from me, said, "Honey just let me come get him. He's only a few months old and there's no need to let him rule your life like this. He has to sleep sometime. Let me come get him for a few days and I will get him straightened out."
So, even though I was very attached and worried about sending off my little one, I did so. Surely my mother could work her magic on him.
Within 24 hours, she pulled into the drive. She was squalling and he was squalling. When I opened the door, she shoved the screaming bundle into my arms and said, "Honey, I'm so sorry....I don't know what you're going to do with him!" Then she turned around and drove home.
LOL!

How funny! This sounds just like my oldest who was born crying, always cried. My mom visited and said I need to take him to the doctor. I said why, he has no fever, no rash, eats fine, wets and poops fine. She said none of hers acted like that. As he grew up, he became a talker and is always talking, talking, talking. It never stops! He was born that way.

 

[Tennlyn]

Sigh Sister, so nice to meet another mom in the same boat.

I have spent my life being my son's cheerleader. Recently, in a joking mode, I told him...."Son, I refuse to be your cheerleader a minute longer!" And he said, condescendingly, "Momma, why are you always so mean to me? What have I ever done to you to deserve this treatment?"
LOL

OMG, Shefner! My son said something just like that to me at Thanksgiving. He was teasing me, of course.

He never wanted to smile in pics either. Not even at Disneyworld! He'd smirk if we were lucky.

I do not know if he was ever arrested for DV. When I use the expression "history of domestic violence," I refer to the divorce proceedings, which are civil, not criminal. Most Family Codes throughout the country define domestic violence, so that judges know what evidence to consider in determining whether to award a certain type of conservatorship or visitation.

I think drunk driving is just as bad......

Yes contrarian is my new favorite word. Good news my son is grown now
and loves to smile for pics, but he was replaced by the contrarian daughter
and she scowls in her sleep !
