This is just the point. The parents had shared custody for years, the divorce was 5 years ago. The custody had changed recently due to the mom moving several hours away. WHY would he have a motive to murder his son? It makes no sense!
All this talk of him having problems dealing with his ex moving on with her life is only speculation, it's not fact. They both admit they don't see eye-to-eye, but how many divorced couples do? If they all got along, they wouldn't be getting a divorce!
There is a history of violence but not towards his kids, only of his older son beating him up. Many men will hit and beat their wives but treat their children very well and would never dream of hurting one.
I don't get why the man would have any motive, that's all. Did he ever pursue getting full custody of Dylan?? Since he works out of town a lot, would he even want to have him there full time? It's not making sense to me.
I don't think he had any motive to kill his son. I havent seen many posts saying that he set out intentionally to harm him. I think the question is about his temper. Was he volatile enough to blow up and injure his son, unintentionally?
When my cousin was about 14 he and his father got into a physical fight because of a lot of built up issues between them. His Dad was divorced and never showed him much attention and disappointed him many times. But finally, at the birthday party for dad's new kid, by his new wife, the dad got angry because my cousin would not call him dad. He called him by his first name. And he did that because he said his dad had never acted like ' a dad.' Anyway they came to blows, and luckily the people looking on were able to stop them quickly.
What if MR told Dylan to stop texting and he replied " Make me." ? Would MR grab the cell away from him?
