I think this proves that Cory was right to organise this rally as Mark is suddenly speaking out . As long as its done in a respectful light its fine . And it must be a blue ribbon day as even LE have joined in and spoken .
Obviously CR and ER believe that Mark is involved in Dylan's disappearance. I do not agree with the idea that if MR sat down with them, they would just completely buy his story, and everyone would be happy, and they could all work on finding the real abductor. One thing I've noticed about WS is that when people make up their minds about someone's guilt, it's very hard for them to a 180, unless someone else is arrested or that person is cleared. For example, there's nothing the Ramseys could do/say that would make RDI's start thinking they were innocent. Same for those who think Baby Lisa's parents are involved in her case. That's why suspicious people are criticized if they don't talk to the media, if they talk to the media so-so, or if they are constantly in the news. Because once you think someone is guilty, everything they do is, is what a murderer does. Now, considering that ER and CR are Dylan's family, I think it would take A LOT for them to move away from Mark, like an arrest of someone else, and Mark talking to them, is not going to make them just change their minds.

It has been my experience here at WS that most posters base their opinions on the evidence (or lack thereof) given to us by LE. Sometimes we have verified insiders that give us more concrete information.
In this case, LE has choosen to keep all or most evidence in their small circle. At this time, LE knows Dylan was in La Plata county by the photos at the airport and Walmart. They know something happened because Dylan quit communicating sometime Sunday evening.
Yes, Elaine and Cory have been vocal and I'm glad - they want to know where Dylan is.
Yes, Mark appears to hold those answers at this time (for them and for me).
As more evidence in Dylan's case is released, that evidence will be followed and possible new opinions about who/what/where will be discussed.
WS is a great place that let's us all present our opinions. We are not always going to agree but if we did....how boring would that be?
We all want answers about what happened and where is Dylan. :seeya:
Is Cory only 18 , as I thought he was 21 ? .. The new article says '18'
Thanks for the link. So Mark is arranging thru his Atty. for a mediator. Good. Now to follow thru.....

From what LE does say, it seems clear that they are not focusing on some other suspect, or seeking an unknown stranger. I hope they know what they are doing. I just feel like this case will not be solved.
Agreed, but two months ago he wanted to sit down, not go out dinner, they should work together. (I really can't remember how he said it but the point is there)
And two months later he still hasn't sat down with ER.
Does anyone think he's actually going to arrange this meeting with Elaine through his divorce attorney?
If nothing else this whole rally thing has gotten him to say a few words. It's not much. I think he's getting the message loud and clear that people think he looks bad for not being out there helping find his son though. I don't know that it will change anything but hopefully. He seems like he just wants a pity party to me. And it seems that it's all about having control over Cory and Elaine. But he can't control an angry mobI'm just not real confident that anything substantial is going to come out of this.
I remember a few weeks ago, LE said that everyone working on Dylan's case is also assigned to other cases. La Plata County has 50k residents, and is rural. I find it hard to believe there are many other active missing person cases, or even unsolved murder cases. So it makes me think the officers working on Dylan's case are also checking out the noise complaints at some party. I understand that they probably don't have a ton of LE, but you would think having like 2-3 assigned only to the case wouldn't be that difficult. It makes me think they don't have much to work with, so there's no point in having some LE only assigned to this case.
Also interesting is when they say they only get 2-3 tips a day, but haven't done anything since then to increase that number....
Very low violent crime rate there. First missing person in decades, literally. Absolutely zero murders in Bayfield or Vallecito though Durango has had a few. Ran the crime states many threads back and was shocked at the low rate of violent crime. Still- lots of drug crime and assault and battery to keep 'em busy.
And to me it's really simple. If he's innocent go take that 2nd poly, talk to your ex wife and son and tell them everything you know and put some effort into helping find this son you claim to love so much.
On the flip side IF he is guilty. He can't take another poly and he probably can't sit down and have an entire conversation with Elaine without her being able to tell he is lying.
Innocent? Simple. Guilty? Not so simple.
