CO- Dylan Redwine, 13, Vallecito, 19 November 2012 - #26

[marlywings]

I believe MR has been told not to talk to anyone! Not LE not ER no one. Just his lawyer.

thats just my take on things.

I'm not sure that is the case...the report I posted on previous page doesn't indicate he's not talking to LE.

January 05, 2013

The Sheriff’s Office also said that family members continue to cooperate with investigators

All I can say is what I would do if it were my child who was missing....and I too would talk to the devil himself to bring my child home and I wouldn't care what anyone thought. When someone clams up, they look guilty whether they are or not. Mark Lunsford is an example. A lot of people were suspicious of him early on but he did what he needed to do. I admire people who can put the child first and not worry about their own tender feelings. MOO Its about Dylan.

Yes, but if you don't go to people's pages, you don't see it, is what I mean - much easier to find a FB page than a tweet.

I can see it useful in conjunction. I guess perhaps I'm just more cautious - unless you protect your tweets so only subscribers can see them, anything you say on twitter can be seen by anybody and that is not appealing to me in terms of just chatting.

Yes, but you also have to go to someone's FB page to see what they have posted, or scroll through your FB timeline until you see it, right? (I haven't used my FB account in a couple of years. I have it locked down and never even go there anymore. When they changed from the old "wall" to this new way, I found it way too confusing and difficult to follow.) If so, that's really the same as twitter - you'll either see it in your timeline if you are following them, or you have to go to their page to see it.

My twitter account is not protected, which is why I said I "casually" chat. I don't talk about anything important or personal there, except in DMs that only the person I am talking to can see. Or we take it to email. And my real name is not used on either my FB or my twitter accounts. I don't trust any of the social media in that way.

The point I was making is that a lot of people do use twitter, and many of them don't use FB. So if they want to social media "blitz" they would be wise to do both to reach the maximum number of people.

I would talk to the devil himself if it helped return my son!

But what If you were responsible?

Silence is golden to those that commit a crime like this they do not have to prove they didnt do it. LE has to prove they did.
So to say nothing at all gets these peeps off free and clear.

MR is working with law enforcement, and he has given interviews like the video that was posted and articles which quoted him, especially right after DR disappeared. For all we know he has tried to contact the media again but been rebuffed - even ER is frustrated that she's not getting as much attention for Dylan from mainstream media as she did before, and we know it's not for lack of trying.

Can someone cite a single MSM article that states that MR "refused to comment" or something along those lines? If not, then we should drop this speculation.

all bbm...but in fairness, there are an equal number of articles where LE themselves have declined to comment, refuse to discuss, etc...so perhaps despite the one on-camera interview in the video store, MR has simply chosen to speak only to LE who in turn chooses not to speak of MR. huh.

When approached at his home in Vallecito, Mark Redwine answered the door clutching a pillow. He declined to be interviewed, saying he had been “bombarded” by media requests.

Mark Redwine’s half brother David Stone, who lives in Castle Rock, said Mark declined to comment on the latest developments because they had not heard about them.

Mark Redwine declined to discuss the search for Dylan in an interview with the Durango Herald.

But when reached at his Vallecito home Wednesday morning, Redwine declined any possibility of more comment, saying he wanted the attention to stay on his son, not him. He declined to be formally interviewed.

She has been calling him out since her very first interview. It looked like she was going to back up and try a different approach, but the new article washes that away. Honestly, I'm sorry to see it. I really thought she would make more headway using the nice talk.

Salem

I don't think she realizes that she is pushing him further away by calling him out like this in the media. If he ever did want to sit down and have a talk with her, he surely wouldn't want to now. Men don't like being made to look like a fool, even if they are one!

 

[Eileen730]

I would talk to the devil himself if it helped return my son!

This is just my opinion!

If this man had not lawyered up he would be talking to media.

His son is missing. If he is not in any way involved he would be speaking out or begging for his sons return. I dont care if your a quiet guy and bla bla bla when something happens to your child and on your watch you get out there you make yourself as visible as you can you talk to every news station you can, every news paper, you dont dig yourself a hole and crawl in.

he can still have a lawyer and cooperate with LE. He just might not ans all the questions. and dont you think if he took and passed a poly We all would know he did by now.

I happen t think LE Believes they know where Dylan is and has to wait it out
SPRING or summer.... till then I dont think we will hear anything at all.

 

[mmmagique]

While you guys are critical of this offer, I find it to be shrewd and calculating. If someone contacts him, that's the single biggest lead they could ever hope to obtain at this point. And it's traceable. He knows full well that he can't give someone immunity, but that doesn't mean he can't say it's possible. And since he is retired LE, he isn't bound by what he says.

FR: I think it's a "Hail Mary" play. They know there's about a 95% chance of it not working, but...what does it hurt to try?

 

[TxLady2]

You could be right, but could it also be possible that Mark is hesitant to talk to Elaine because he feels that she is publicly attacking him?

I can understand him refusing to talk to her. She has called him out publicly from the beginning. She may be one of those women who are very difficult to talk to, and considering that she thinks he did something to Dylan, anything he says in his defense is going to sound like lies to her, whether he's telling her the truth or not.

I’m a little afraid of Elaine continuing to bring up her suspicions of MR in these interviews.

What if he isn’t involved? Is this going to stop the public from looking for Dylan in every passing young boy's face?

She could be wrong …. I’m afraid she is helping to narrow public opinion down to one person and the public will stop looking anywhere else…. and she could be wrong.

 

[eileenhawkeye]

Heaven help us if Twitter is the future, it's for people with very short attention spans! The problem I have with it is people will retweet stuff - but do they read it? Do they do anything afterwards, or just move onto the next thing?

I believe it can help - but it doesn't have the more permanent nature of Facebook. A page is there til it's taken down.. if you miss a tweet, it's gone. As a user of twitter, the only way I can make it manageable is to stick following people I'm interested in, otherwise you just drown. JMO

But if you don't "like" a page on FB, it's just as forgettable as a tweet.

Are you saying they know where his body is? Because wouldn't waiting months affect how much evidence is left? It seems cruel to just leave him wherever he is, and let his parents assume that he is still missing. I'm sure they would want to bury him.

Or are you saying he is still alive...and LE knows where he is? I don't see why they would have to wait until Spring to rescue him...

She may be one of those women that has had a very long bad relationship with a man that was last to see their son. This woman is saying things publically that MR has not denied. I really do think she knows him well enuff to know when hes telling the truth or lying.

I believe she said everything she did because he wouldnt speak to her.


I think hes not talking publically because they will ask him about a poly if he took one and if he passed it they will ask him about the charges years ago.
So to me if he has nothing to hide why is he hiding?


All JMO

 

[TxLady2]

Because its not about him , its about Dylan and if he can ease Cory's & Elaine s pain by answering questions about Sunday and Monday then i find it wrong he wont. It is no wonder he is not close to any of his children when he is totally about "him" ! MOO

And i dont blame Elaine for lashing out as he is ignoring them and his "version of events" has holes in it.

So what is Elaine meant to think when he wont speak to them and the his story makes no logical sense ? !

This it seems comes to down to making Elaine suffer IMO

Well, she could conclude that he might be a bit angry because she's practically called him a murderer on national t.v. twice.

I doubt that he is set on punishing her, it's probably more of a self-preservation thing. It might help if she would realize that she isn't the only one hurting here. He is Dylan's father and he is also bearing the burden of being the last known person to see him alive. At least she's not going through the heartache of being a suspect in the public eye.

But by accusing him like she did, it made it even more difficult for him to initiate a conversation with her. How could she expect him to want to talk to her when she has said the things she has?

Seems to me that she is making this about her as well.

 

[azgrandma]

Yes, they knew. He packed two backpacks and left. He didn't like the rules of the house and some other things apparently so he left.

Respectfully BBM.
It's my understanding LE ruled out runaway almost immediately, within a week at least.
I haven't seen anything that said he packed two backpacks and didn't like the rules, do you have a link? That's new to me TIA


Here's a quote from the paper, Durango Herald dtd 11/28/2012 - please forgive, I'm not sure how to provide links yet. I did bold what I felt was the answer to the question in regards to LE thinking he ran awy.

The law-enforcement task force canvassing the Vallecito community for clues to the disappearance of 13-year-old Dylan Redwine has discarded the possibility that he ran away Nov. 19 from his father’s home north of the reservoir, La Plata County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Dan Bender said Wednesday.

Missing teen may have been upset about order

“There’s a combination of factors,” Bender said. “There’s been the passage of time without any sightings; Dylan was not a visitor but had friends here; he has a history of staying in contact with his family and friends; and there’s been nothing on his cellphone record since he was reported missing.”

He said a million things were running through his head about what could have happened to his son. He said he doesn’t think Dylan ran away.

He has nothing and no one to run away from, Mark Redwine said.

IMO there must be a reason why she thinks he is involved, maybe theres some sort of prior form?

I believe the original poster had brought up a different case in which the child had runaway, and that is the case they are referring to. :moo:
