It is bothersome that dr woke up ate cereal and watched cartoons and didn't contact anyone. One way this could be explained in my opinion is if he knew someone was picking him up at a certain time. He would have his bag packed ready to go. Or maybe he didnt have it arranged but an old family "friend" came by while he was still sleeping and waited there watching cartoons while dr ate a bowl of cereal and got his stuff together. Maybe this person said your dad has a work emergency so i'm taking you back to your moms. Could be the iPod fell into the couch and he couldn't find it in the morning. The other alternative is the more popular theory that mr is responsible.
I wish we knew who else dr was messaging Sunday night and I think the friends might know more than has been released. Also I wonder if they found evidence of anyone else in the cabin. Obviously whoever picked him up if thats what happened wasnt as trusting as he thought.
It's just hard for me to get on board with mr doing something because it seems like he and dr had a good relationship judging on the baseball road trip and that Dylan's friends said so. And it's a no-win for mr no matter what so where is the motive? All of this to get back at er? Just seems like mark really loves Dylan so hard for me to accept. Why would he hurt what seems to be one of the only people in his life that he cares about?
This case is driving me crazy. I have a 12 and 13 year old and the pain for both parents must be unbearable. I just can't believe either parent is involved until I know more.
