CO- Dylan Redwine, 13, Vallecito, 19 November 2012 - #32

[OtherEyes]

One thing that really stood out to me was she mentioned so many of the same things many of us have said here. She doesn't believe he started walking then got abducted, that an abductor would pack his bag, he wouldn't have hitchhiiked, he would have called or texted for a ride and the something could have happened Sunday night.

Also she made another good point that if Dylan needed a ride he would have tried to text her to see if one of her friends could have given him a ride as she has many friends there.

I don't think Elaine has a "false sense of hope" - I think her hope is what we all have for our children or our loved ones.

I also don't think she has an unrealistic view of what may have happened to Dylan.

It's a defense mechanism we use to protect our "hearts".

I hope this makes sense....

I'm always so moved by the "hope" that people like ER have for their babies...

but at the same time, it saddens me so....I mean, I guess I'm a cynic. It's like too much hope creates a false sense of things to come sometimes.
I saw an ad for a tv show the other night & one line was "hope is dangerous" and it made me think of Dylan's case...so I was googling that line and it's from the movie - Shawshank Redemption. Anyway, I found a website afterward that better describes "hope" IMO ---

it's a "condition" people have - between possibility and despair

saying my prayers as I do ea night for the Dylans, the Kyrons, the Isabels, and all the other missing children...

BBM - I was accused of being two faced because on some postings I put that I hope Dylan is safe, that whomever has him lets him go.
On another, such as this, I expressed my feelings. It depended on whether or not I knew ER was able to read it or not.

I will continue to be two faced. I believe what I believe and that has not changed since day one. I also know that there is a mother out there that has one thing to hold on to and that is HOPE. I will never take that away from her. It's hard, because sometimes I have hope too and then I look at the big picture.
Elaine says something that both of us have said, and I want to explain that. "that I picked so wrong" it's not a selfish thing to say or self centered. It's something we both have thought. I won't speak for her but I will speak for myself, I wonder each and every day if I was so freaking stupid to have married and had children with a person that could have harmed the same children he created. My children, Elaine's children. She's not asking if she made poor choices, she asking, did she pick someone that is capable of harming thier child. I don't blame her one bit for hoping she didn't pick wrong and holding on to that hope.

And she is repeating the "no phone" activity sometime after 8 pm.

She also said she did not know anything about pings.

OMG. I have no words. You may not know me from Adam, but I feel your pain and it is so palpable I am speechless. Please know that there are many who wouldn't have your courage. To speak out as you have, despite your fears, and, at the same time, make significant effort to be "fair" to MR, tells me much about you and your character. Your children are blessed to have you as their mother.

Oh Gosh I didn't misunderstand. I was just jumping off of it, I get what you said and the part about desperation before despair, that was hard. You were spot on and sorry if I made you feel like your post was not good and spot on.

Cory is the only person, IMHO, who claimed that Mark failed the polygraph. I can't see the FBI, etc. telling MR's son anything pertaining to the investigation. LE has never publicly commented on the results of both LDTs for Elaine and Mark.

I don't remember if Cory actually said he "failed" the poly. But the interviewer has tweeted that Mark has said his test was inconclusive and that could be where Cory got the information from (Mark). Regardless of where it came from MR confirmed it to the reporter.

I was just on the FMDR page and that J.K. person seems off to me. Especially his last post. IMHO Anyone else feel the same?

I also wanted to ask if there was any info out on the number of abductors ( they may or may not have murdered the person they abducted) that were unknown to the person they abducted, that have searched with or "friended" the family of the abducted person?

That sounded much better in my head.

 

[TxJan1971]

Okay someone alert TXJan so she can transcribe! Lol. YouTube never plays well for me at home, too much buffering.

Sorry for the delay. I'm on it now and will see how much I get done before I crash!

Well besides the fact he does not have a shirt.... Umm yeah. He was unable to make it to the gathering at MR's house. Ask the cheese!!! (BTW cheese I hope you don't mind it is a joke and I enjoy your shirt comments!!!) ... If I could only insert emoticons on my iPhone..... I would insert a thumbs up!!! And mods if I am over stepping please remove!

Yes, I just went a looked up the most recent post. weird, I agree. :waitasec:

 

[asyousay]

I wonder when the mark clip will go up and I can't believe Dylan's birthday is tomorrow . poor Elaine and her family . I am sure they never imagined it would take this long to find answers for Dylan .

Of the many interviews with parents of missing children I have seen, there are those who are genuine and those who are not. I am not a professional, but all the same have spent many years studying human nature, psychology, body language, expressions, speech patterns. And, point being, I'm not bad at spotting BS when it's in front of me.

Elaine's interview demonstrates, in my opinion and observation, every possible sign that she only wants her son back, or to know what has happened to him at the least.

Her anger is palpable, her worry also - and grief, for his absence. Her use of past tense when speaking of Dylan is in my estimation no cause for suspicion, as it may be in many other cases. In the context of the whole interview, and the amount of time that has passed, I see this as acceptance that Dylan is gone. Not hopelessness - just a realistic pov.

I'm not saying I'm a total expert. But in my mind, I now hold no doubt that Elaine does not know where her son is.

I am very much looking forward to seeing the interview with Dylan's father.

I finally watched ER's interview.

I just spent a few hours watching shows about Jodi Arias's trial and just watched her on the stand, trying to stay off of Death Row.

And then I just watched Elaine's interview. What a huge difference. If anyone has any doubts, look at the two of them speaking, back to back. One of them is flat, hollow and soulless. Watching JA sucked the life out of me.

Watching Elaine was painful, but at least she was really FEELING what she was saying. At least she has a soul and is telling her painful truths.

No idea... sorry! Although MR did say in an interview that the TV was on Nickleodeon when he got home, so I'm thinking he must have satellite or cable of some sort.

In case it was confusing, the Redbox kiosks I checked were where I live in California near Sacramento, so nowhere near DR, MR, etc. I checked to see if it was available here, trying to get an idea if Redbox tends to stock the movie in general.

Hey thank you!!!!
What would we do without you !

 

[Eileen730]

Why did this reporter leave out the best stuff from her interview with Elaine?
That interview did a great disservice to her.
