I feel like I must have missed other interviews with MR. I am only aware of the brief one after the vigil, and the one labelled "uncut".
I understand your history with MR, and am really just bouncing off your post as you have mentioned things that have been discussed here a fair bit previously.
Maybe it only happens on tv, but aren't most parents of missing children asked to stay at home and by the phone initially? The theory that perhaps Dylan wouldn't known friends or families phone numbers off by heart if his own phone had indeed died permanently wasn't accepted as believable by many here (even though some of us admitted this would be the case if our own phones stopped working). Everything MR has done or continues to do is held up as proof of his involvement at this point. When he joined in the search - he was injecting himself into the investigation. When he made a comment about his ex wife being his problem he was "lashing out" - and when he says he is understanding of her anger, he is criticised for that. He was at fault for not describing exciting plans for Thanksgiving, yet the paraphrased mention of the visit to Fenway Park in August is being doubted and questioned as being not possible.
I believe MR would have given LE a detailed description of what happened at home on Sunday evening. Why haven't those details been published? Perhaps the unloading of the groceries, bathroom visits, chit chat with a tired and/or cranky boy, etc, just don't make good reading? I don't recall seeing the question asked in the two filmed interviews I have watched over and over.
I still think Dylan's phone may have died on Sunday evening. Died as in stopped working, placed on the charger but to no avail, so not just a flat battery - and this wasn't probably noticed until Dylan got up the next morning. Or if the phone was just out of charge - possibly a cord knocked out of place and still not charged by morning. I can't tell you how often this happens at my place. Either the charger plug is half hanging out of the socket, or the usb cord has been bumped and pulled out from my old dearly departed laptop. Heck every computer in my house treats the usb charger cord differently - mine worked even if the laptop was shut down completely, yet one of my boys laptops has to be physically turned on for the charger to work. All MOO of course, but I wonder if the combination of being ticked off with dad, phone problems, missing his ride etc, all led to Dylan grabbing his gear and heading out determined to make his own way to his friends.
