CO- Dylan Redwine, 13, Vallecito, 19 November 2012 - #13

I remember someone said a cabin also.

Remember Marks father said something like we are going to STAY here because Dylan will return here and we were like was he moving? There are other residences so it seems.

Mark's home was referenced as a "cabin" in at least one video I saw; that is all I remember.

When I see that both parents were actually allowed to search, it makes me question what LE is thinking.

Me to Shefner. Very odd.

I really think they just don't have a lot of experience with these things so they probably didn't consider the possiblities.


Considering the remote location they had a great turnout! I am so happy about that.

To me that's just odd, as his home was close to the road and I envision a cabin set back a ways more. Oh well. Then its 3 properties? This is confusing me. :/

Also from that article:

In addition to advising on the investigation, Phippen said the FBI provided two victim specialists to help the family cope with the situation.

Makes me think there was possibly some monitoring going on.

Regarding CR's or ER's unanswered messages/calls to MR just after Dylan was reported missing - perhaps they were unpleasant or even abusive, given they were sent by people who possibly already had strained relationships? MR IMO would have read any incoming texts or listened to voice mails, but actively chosen not to respond if they were accusatory or adding to his already high stress levels.

I really do "get" how people are making the connections and assumptions about MR and his possible involvement, but I have also been able to see an alternate view, or feel there has been a lack of information needed to really accept most of the suggestions that have been made about him.

I have just watched the uncut interview with MR again, and cannot for the life of me reconcile the man I am seeing and hearing on that clip being the one responsible for the disappearance, or worse, of his very own child. Tiny doubts or questions - yes, sure. But overriding that is a fear that this man is going through something unimaginable to most of us, just like the rest of his family - but with the additional horror of knowing that many people are suspecting him of being responsible and picking over his past and examining every embarassing detail publicly.

I admit that I really don't want MR to involved - not only because of what it would mean happened to poor Dylan, but also selfishly because it means I could be such a lousy judge of character I just don't see it.

Surely LE wouldn't have wanted him to participate physically, on the ground, in today's search if they had any inkling that he was involved?? In his situation, I would understand perfectly if LE told me it wasn't appropriate because I was too close to the case personally. And yes ... I have considered the possibility that he participated under discrete but watchful eyes.

Hmmm, maybe it was to see if Elaine spotted any unusual behavior in Mark during the search that may provide them more clues or information? Probly not allowed to say what else I'm thinking ... :sigh:

Only after she was found. They did let me glance at texts and calls coming in, but the questions were so fast and furious that I couldn't focus beyond making sure it was, you know, her. Their main goal is to keep you talking, because the more you talk the more likely you rattle yourself into a corner. So, no, I had no time to call or text in the hours after calling LE. It was on and there but it only had an Eighth of my focus.

You gotta understand, it's surreal. The whole world swirls around you. You say stupid pointless details over and over. Your brain is hashing out a million things, and police are hashing out a million more. There is no room for clear thought. And I pride myself on not being emotionally driven, so i expected I would have had a clearer head. I was told not to help look and I listened. You have to understand that by the time you call LE for help, you are defeated and you surrender to what they ask entirely simply because you are empty and they come in with a plan, which is more than you've got.

I remember people there, friends came as word spread, but I don't remember at the same time. It's vague. I would probably have been unbelievable to most of you, because I didn't cry until she was found. I just couldn't waste time with crying, I had to figure things out. What shocks me the most is that i would repeat seemingly meaningless details, as if LE didn't get it the first time. And then I would draw a blank on things that I really should have remembered.

It's really hard to understand until you have been in that situation, you don't react how you think you will react. My husband was right nearby and we never got to talk or reflect at all.

I am sorry you had to go through this terrifying, sad situation...

and thank you for sharing with me/us the sensitive details of those first moments/days upon finding your precious child missing!

DH and I lost a son to SIDS at 7 1/2 weeks.... It was completely shocking... Performing CPR while 911 dispatcher was talking my husband through it...then him relaying it to me...even though I had been trained in CPR as a teacher...

the numbness.... And surreal quality of life that did not lift for some time...yet amazingly did... More and more each day...

then finding out we were pregnant... The only thing that kept me looking forward again...

but you are so right about not knowing how oneself would react in such a situation... I pretty much became a hermit... And had to be pulled out...

but as incredibly sad as I was... At least I knew my baby was with God.... He had not suffered.... And he was safe from pain...

My heart goes out to you... And anyone missing their greatest gift... Their child...

Phippen said all of the local registered sex offenders had been checked out and had alibis for the 48-hour period from when Dylan arrived at the airport to the time he was reported missing.

Phippen wanted to reassure residents that the Sheriff’s Office “does not believe there is a sex offender abducting children” from the area.

Lurking lots, posting little. This says it all to me, IMO. If the Sheriff's Office has ruled out runaway and does not think an accident happened to Dylan while he was wandering in the wilderness....AND they now do not believe 'there is a sex offender abducting children' in the area....THEN that leaves us with....well, you fill in the blank.

But, for me, A plus B equals C. 'Nuff said. I bet a certain someone was VERY uncomfortable during today's search.

I wish Tim Miller with Texas Equusearch would get called in on this case soon. I am very worried about the temps dropping and freezing can cause a lot of delays... Time is of the essence in this case, considering the remote location. Worries me greatly.

I'm with you on this one, I have tried very hard to pass this information along, so that the family might have it!

 

[IHAVENOCLUE]

Haha. Nope. Me too. Kind of ironic since I have a tendency to get disoriented in WalMart and need to phone a friend for help finding my way out or remembering what I went in for!

:silly:

 

[scorekeeper]

I am afraid they don't have a clue as to what happened to Dylan.

It's like he vanished into thin air....

I pray at least one of the items found today will give them a clue as to what may have happened.

I also wish they would call Tim Miller, immediately, like right now!!

As of yesterday afternoon, Denise Hess (family friend/running Find Dylan fb page/coordinator of all things find Dylan) responded to a poster who asked about TES -- she said that LE asked people to hold off.

I'm discouraged by that.

ITA they should be called in.
Hope LE isn't hesitant to call in TES; they work with them, not in place of LE.
I'm not sure what they're waiting for.

 

[Confusion]

I thought it might be because they were hoping to find evidence, but didn't expect to find his body. MOO

 

[Rougelatete]

I thought it might be because they were hoping to find evidence, but didn't expect to find his body. MOO

Because they have a strong belief it is in the lake? JMO.

 

[IHAVENOCLUE]

You will survive, smooth....and live to tell the tale! LOL

.... And an interesting tale it will be... As Smoothie completely Rocks in her narratives! :great:

 

[Confusion]

More because I don't want him to be dead. Not so soon after Elizabeth and Lyric.

 

[Kamille]

I believe the actual address is 2343 County Rd 500. And it's a 1512 square ft home with what appears to be an attached garage, not really what I'd consider a cabin per say.

MOO

I just hope they don't hold out to long! If the snow comes, it could become a pickle! They get so much sometimes it has to be shoveled off the roofs of buildings or they will cave in....the local schools even hire people to shovel it off the roofs during winter.....I pray they contact them soon!
