CO- Dylan Redwine, 13, Vallecito, 19 November 2012 - #17

[TxJan1971]

Do you have a logical theory that you would like us to discuss? I try to look at things from all angles. My number one suspect is dad and I am not on the fence about it, but I do have a number two suspect which is abduction by a random perp. Of course I find this to be much less likely than scenario one. Also I don't think Dylan ran away, is hiding out or that anyone is hiding him, but I would LOVE to be wrong because then there would be a greater chance for a live Dylan to come home.

What she said....

 

[katydid23]

The trouble is, there are plenty of parents like that. I had a friend who got £600 a month for one child from her ex - as soon as he started paying it, she suddenly started wearing expensive jewellery, going out at the weekends (staying in hotels) and had a holiday to New York (leaving the child at home with her ex!!) Got to the point that her ex gave up his job as he resented that his money was funding her party lifestyle, not their 7 year old daughter.

Incidently, in the 10 years since I split with my ex husband, I have never received a single penny from him (neither is there a college fund!).

But, yes, there are plenty of parents that do pay up, and plenty of parents that spend it appropriately.

Whatever the case with Dylan, I just hope his family get some answers soon.

I am not sure how 600 a month would allow someone to take Holiday trips to NYC, stay in nice hotels and purchase expensive jewelry. JMO

I have two children, so I'm quite aware of what they need. AGAIN, I did NOT state ER wasn't using child support money appropriately. I said in MY experience with people I know, more ofthen than not the $$ is going toward things having NOTHING to do with the child's well-being.

Are we not allowed to discuss both sides?

I have yet to see a single non custodial parent pay anywhere near half of what it takes to provide & raise a child.

 

[Eileen730]

This is interesting as Ryan asks why he can not come and Dylan replys with " IDK" - So why did he not say " Dad says its to late to visit you tonight " ?

seems a bit off IMO

My guess is dad just said no! end of conversation!
but told the cops it was to late!

 

[Cardinal47]

I actually know (via my SO) a certified deadbeat dad who doesn't pay child support but had a college fund set up for his kids. One of them is using it now to go to school.

I don't get the reasoning either, perhaps he thought his ex would not spend the money on the kids, but the law is the law.

BTW did I miss the evidence on MR not paying child support?

Yep you sure did. MR was $40,000 in errs to his ex wife...the first one. She was on the board the other evening. azgrandma

They made a deal. She got sole custody and he didn't have to pay the $40m

She considered it quite a deal because she got her boys. Perhaps she saved their lives..who knows.

 

[gngr~snap]

Even by MR's statements, IMO, there is noone that spoke with or heard from DR after 8 pm Sunday, the 18th. Not even MR.

respectfully snipped for space

:what: If I recall correctly he didn't say he and Dylan had a
"conversation" did he? He just reports speaking to Dylan
and Dylan just laying there :what:

"Mark said he waited until 7:30 a.m. but still couldn't rouse his son, so he told him he would return about 11"

:moo: THAT says it all.

AZGrandma, do you know if any new searches are being organized?

No I don't, sorry

I am not sure how 600 a month would allow someone to take Holiday trips to NYC, stay in nice hotels and purchase expensive jewelry. JMO

Wow! I'd love to know how to squeeze all of that out of 600 a month! Lol

 

[IHAVENOCLUE]

I am not sure they are going to get any video at all.
I guess it's possible but most people don't drive around with video camera running.

Maybe the nature cams people set up to view night animal life?

I AM trying for other scenarios... :dunno:

 

[DylansMom34]

I Wonder if Mark and Elaine have talked / spent anytime talking since a couple weeks ago when they had both been quoted saying they hadn't

 

[Dee10]

I am presuming MR's errands were in and around Durango ex lawyer's office. I find it hard to believe he would drive all the way home, just because Dylan wanted to sleep in & then drive all the way back & then some. I never thought that made a bit of sense. It wasn't late at all for Dylan to be dropped off. Doesn't add up as reasonable to me, in fact it makes no sense.

ETA - In other words, more like a parent would have said, come on, if you want to see your friends get ready...I have appointments. All the things you say to your kid to get them up for school type thing.

 

[Angelonline]

For me personally this does not work for me .

As what are the odds that Dad does that and then Dylan is snatched ?

And if this did happen then why does MR not admit that he got angry and told Dylan to walk home ? , after all he is not guilty of anything besides losin his temper !

But it is obvious IMO that he wants to look like a model father so saying this would not make him look very good. I think its a reasonable theory that IHaveNoClue presented. It is not my number one scenario but certainly possible at least to me.

 

[Cardinal47]

And if you put it together with this statement from MR:

Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community - View Single Post - CO CO- Dylan Redwine, 13, Vallecito, 19 November 2012 - #17

It really leaves me wondering if Dylan was really the person texting his friend.

I'm curious if "tomarrow" is a how Dylan commonly misspelled tomorrow.

Well now that's an interesting thought. Was it Dylan texting? I think ER would have an idea and I bet LE has asked that question.

You know I have thought quite a bit about Dylan hiding out. We are pretty sure he didn't want to be there and must have been mad he could not go to his friends right away.

Could he be somewhere...perhaps a cottage. I know...it sounds farfetched but it is the hope of finding him I hold onto.

Being a logical person probably a 1 in 1,000,000 chance of that happening.

I am sure if his friends knew they would be back and forth and LE would solve this mystery. Sigh...

 

[tiredblondy]

£600 a month would be about $960 a month here in the US

 

[tiredblondy]

I would love to know what LE knows but doubt that will happen.

 

[mmmagique]

ER has said that DR had a very old phone and has implied that it was on it's last legs. When a phone and/or it's battery dies - it dies. There is no miraculous resurrection.

If DR is like most of us he likely did not carry a backup contact list/address book of phone numbers. I have lost numerous contacts from several phones because I didn't backup the data on my computer before they were lost. I am entirely dependent on my phone to "memorize" phone numbers. I'd be lost without it.

I'd like to offer another personal experience with cell phones and coincidences. My son's iPhone had a cracked screen for a few months but was still operable. I was holding off buying him a new phone until the next version was released and/or my contract expired. One afternoon I dropped my iPhone and it's screen was totally shattered. I was able to send my son a single text telling him that it would likely be the last. Ironically as he was reading that very text he tripped and fell shattering his phone. Murphy's law blessed me with a $500 purchase of two new cell phones in the same day.

Now that is one heck of a coincidence but it happened. I think it is not very difficult at all to believe that DR's "old phone" may have bit the dust that night. I wouldn't chalk that up to a coincidence but common sense regardless of whether or not he disappeared.

Wouldn't his dad have known that?

If Dylan didn't know before he left, why would he drag around a phone that doesn't work and the charger?

 

[katydid23]

So where was MR's phone pinging when Dylan's phone stopped? I think the two were in a heated moment, Dylan sent his friend the cancelation text, then emotions went sky high and something happened.

I agree. How many of us have felt frustration when we are trying to discuss something with our kids, and they re hunched over, reading and sending their all important texts? I used to take their phones away quite often. Luckily I was never the last one to see them before they went missing.

But from looking at those texts, it seems like Dylan got the text saying his friend was returning from Pagosa, thus would be in Bayfield at gramas soon. So Dylan would have then asked Dad to drop him off at his friends in B-town.

Dad says NO, I will take you tomorrow, when I get back from my errands. Dylan oushed further, saying , HOw About BEFORE you go do your errands?'

[ obviously D was excited to go see his friends.]

So Dad says ok, but it will be at 6:30 am. So D says that's fine, and begins texting R some more about those plans for the morning. Then there is an abrupt ending to the texts.

 

[cluciano63]

I would love to know what LE knows but doubt that will happen.

No, probably not...just like in Kyron's case and too many others. I hope they do not stay on that "silence is golden" program or whatever it is, if they are getting nowhere.

 

[Cardinal47]

I have yet to see a single non custodial parent pay anywhere near half of what it takes to provide & raise a child.

And least we forget the things that don't cost money but are provided by a loving custodial parent. That list just goes on and on!

 

[scorekeeper]

I still want to know if the dogs picked up DYLAN'S scent at his dad's house and if so, where did DYLAN'S scent lead them? And this is with using the clothes that Elaine had to bring from her house!

I am still not sure Dylan made it to dad's house Sunday night...

That is one of the questions I want answered.
