Still this continuing conflict between MR vs ER/CR. Doesn't change anything for me, other than I see that MR is responding/communicating to some degree.

I would be interested to know how MR interacts with friends/his brother, etc anyone who is "on his side" or not accusatory towards him. Do they also feel as though he is keeping secrets? Will he even discuss Dylan's disappearance with them?:waitasec:

we are in the decision phase on this... for now hold off... (unless you are discussing what the reporter directly said)

 

[Bravo]

I thought that when his brother came down to stay with Mark soon after Dylan disappeared he would be kinda' a spokesperson for Mark. But I don't ever recall him being mentioned by the media or him doing any interviews. I have always found that odd. I have never heard Mark mention any other family besides his brother.

The issue I have is that Mark should want to help his son here and if Elaine and Cory have questions then answer them to the best of your abilities .

Why is Mark refusing to speak to them when there son is missing ?

Mark IMO is completely failing his son here and is doing Dylan a disservice if he is innocent ....MOO

Yes, seems like his brother was equally unwilling to step into the limelight. Is this because he, like Mark, does not want the attention? Because he thinks Mark is responsible? Because Mark asked him not to? We just don't know.

I can honestly say I've been here a long time and I don't think I've ever seen a case like this!

Good question, Dixie, and one I've been wondering myself especially in light of the escalating conflict between MR and ER/CR. It gives me pause when I don't see anyone speaking out for MR. No friends, no family, no one. Does MR have anyone who supports him? Does anyone believe him? Certainly doesn't appear to be a level playing field.
I guess the lesson here for everyone is to ask yourself this: If I was ever in a situation that "looked bad" for me, have I lived a life that cultivated trusting friends and loved ones, even co-workers, neighbors, employers, who would believe in me enough to speak out on my behalf?

I think what makes it worse, even if you are a friend of his, <modsnip>. That would make me hesitate, I think, if I knew him.

You make a great point. I would imagine if there are any that do support/believe MR, you'd be hard pressed to find one brave enough to speak out. I myself would be de-activating online pages and locking my doors if I was known to have a friendly connection with MR. <modsnip>

I agree 100%. I was just mulling some thoughts around in my head about other aspects of MR and his life. I think most people would be suspicious under similar circumstances, but it does seem odd to me that we haven't heard from anyone who has addressed MR as a person.
Setting Dylan aside for a minute, (not that I am doing that) but what about MR the man? Why haven't we heard from anyone (except the opposite side of the family) about who he is as a person? Tidbits that reflect his character...example: "he is a hard worker" "he is honest to a fault" "when he was a little boy he...." "I always looked up to him because..." That type of thing. Everything I've found written about this man is negative. Is that the reason why many folks are so convinced he is responsible for Dylan's disappearance? Because he was/is an a**hole, so it's easy to suspect him? I guess I'm just trying to sort this all out in my own mind from a sociological perspective.

 

[cluciano63]

Imagine if he IS named a POI or suspect...yikes.

Those who are convinced of his guilt are very passionate (understandably) and are taking names of anyone known to have connections to MR.

Yeah, I've thought about that too and I do agree with what you are saying, but I also have to say this; there is strength in numbers. Even CA had supporters. It doesn't reflect well when no one is taking a stand for him.
just gives me pause....

 

[asyousay]

I thinks all this action in the last few days is due to a lack of action by LE . I think it must be beyond frustrating that some things don't add up but a complete lack of evidence means you can't move forward . And so how long do you wait before you step in and try and do things your way . Time is not standing still for Dylan or his family so I can see why they are trying to move things forward . I just fear it will be a fruitless effort unfortantly MOo

 

[tiredblondy]

Can someone help me understand how one would keep a 13 yr old under their thumb this long unless they are tied up continually or chained to the wall? That is what keeps going through my mine. If this is the situation wouldn't it be hard to keep him away from everyone (or escaping) unless secured some way?

 

[scorekeeper]

Perhaps that is why he hasn't been? I mean what advantage does that give LE if they do name him as a POI?

I agree that LE's silence and apparent (because we really don't know what they're up to, if anything) lack of action is probably a big reason that CR etc are planning this.. picketing. If it was my child I would think... we have to do something if LE isn't.

It's be very difficult. That's why it's hard for me to believe that Dylan is still alive.

ITA

The only person that I remember speaking about him is the guy he buys his cigarettes from.

Makes you really wonder - he has worked for the same company for awhile and has lived in the area.....I mean we haven't even heard anything from his family which I find very, very strange.

It does seem to confirm that whatever is going on with LE is not being shared with the family in any way.
