CO- Dylan Redwine, 13, Vallecito, 19 November 2012 - #33

So we have not one, but TWO unlicensed, ghost hunting, tv reality show celebrity, young , leather clad ' private eyes' and I use the term as loosely as I would say ' alan quartermaine is a brain surgeon' that are going to help this family find Dylan and bring closure? They dont' want any publicity , but one's opening a new practice and plugging his haunted houses and another is plugging a new show, coincidentally enough about physics in cold cases. Do I have this right?

Anyone else think things are going to get worse from here ?

Could get worse but could also keep Dylan's name and face out there.

So guess we may have to take the good with the bad.

Could be a circus like we had in Florida....

Uh oh. This is not good. The K9 group should have called LE first thing. I believe most if not all of them do. :twocents:

A spokesperson for the La Plata County sheriff's office says he was unaware of the K-9 group's offer for help.

He says the department has already used their own K-9's in the search.

also from article

Dylan's father, Mark Redwine, tells me he's meeting Thursday with special operations, K-9 Forensics.

I don't know how child support works in CO, but here if the parents have 50/50 custody nobody pays child support because each parent has the child 50% of the time. So if Elaine moved to CS then filed for sole custody and set up arranged visitation with MR I would assume that would mean MR would have to start paying her child support. They usually determine that amount based on how much time each parent has the child.

It's a calculation that only the Child Support Gods can figure out. It's a complicated formula that takes income, medical/dental/child care expenses and time spent with the child.
But, 50/50 custody is not necessarily 50/50 visitation.
There is shared / joint custody - where both parents make decisions
Sole custody - where one parent makes most of the decisions (hopefully they both agree but if they don't sole custody parent makes the choice)

The key is visitation. Not custody alone

Huh?.. not good, why?..key word here is "offered"..not like they've gone forging ahead as rogue k9 searchers.. they are no different than the dozens of other people who have "offered" their services... I do not get how that's "not good"

I keep waiting to see Dylan's face in the corner of People magazine at the grocery store. Maybe the ridiculous media circus will lead to something helpful.

I'm in Colorado and like azgrandma said, child support is quite an involved thing and it boils down to putting information into a calculator type form. Salaries of both parents, number of overnights the chlid spends with each parent, expenses such as health/vision/dental care, other expenses. When I was going through it, I actually made more money than my ex, but my son was with me 100% of the time so his dad was ordered to pay. Not that he actually paid the ordered amount and I had to seek a garnishment, but that's a whole 'nother Oprah!

Dismayed to read:

"A sheriff's office spokesperson says there are not any new leads or breaks in the case right now."

 

[BeginnersLuck]

Have you read the PIs FB?
LOL

No, I didn't check out BB's. I did see the other's though. lol

I'm just picturing Dog the bounty hunter ' callingout' MR .
It could get disastrous as if it's not already .

Which is why its a good thing that Mark and Elaine are bringing in outside help as they cant just stand still in the hope LE suddenly find something

It has been 80 days and nada so far.

Kinda O/T but I have a question that you may be able to answer:

Does the local child support enforcement agency in Colorado have the ability to bring charges against anyone owing back child support?

Reason being....here in Ohio...our local child support enforcement agency monitor child support arrearage and will take the case to the prosecutor for prosecution (even if the person owed the money may not agree or not wanting to go to court).

Hope this makes sense....TIA

Yup, it's gonna get worse. I don't disagree with hiring a PI and I understand it would be hard to determine if one is good or not. IMO, if a PI is a good PI they aren't out there advertising this on facebook.
Totally unprofessional IMO!
I would not answer a single question from someone claiming to be a PI that calls himself Dog, Crappants or anything like that. I would probably set the phone done and let them listen to me laugh. All IMO.
A good PI would approach the family in private and make the offer and keep it in private and investigate privately, but what the hey maybe they are looking for ghost in the closet.???

His son posted something on Fb or Twitter about Dylan! He lives in colorado!

 

[BeginnersLuck]

I don't think outside help is necessarily bad but if it were my child missing, I would do A LOT of research first. There is a reason why professional search organizations tell parents to be cautious about psychics and such in these cases.

Why didnt they call Klass Kids?

Or did they?

 

[azgrandma]

O/T on the help that they are getting, it's really causing concern IMO. Two PI's that are ghost chasing, bail jumper chasing, odd named, publicity hounds and a firm that did not consult with LE to begin with. Dr. Phil (it ain't his first rodeo) Nancy Grace (after how many attempts to get on again) I'm thinking Jerry Springer might be next!

I hope this help actually helps, but I'm not getting that warm cozy feeling.

I would worried about cadaver dogs & freezing temperatures, but these dogs never cease to amaze me.

Abby runs toward her owner, leaving the glass spice container she found beneath the tree where Jones buried it a few hours before. Weakley-Jones knows it is there because she marked the spot with a flag.

Abby, whose full name is Abracadaver, used her nose to smell the human fluids frozen inside the container. The 8-year-old German shepherd is what Weakley-Jones calls a “cadaver dog,” and what the more prim might refer to as a “human remains detection dog.”
