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

[absentia]

I'm late to the game here as I've had personal issues to attend to, but I just read MR's transcript. I hate to drag out the statement analysis stuff again, but what struck me most about the interview was the EXTRA information. The statements of what he did, and then the *because* - the why of it - explaining why he did every little thing. The statement analysis people see that as a red flag b/c people restating facts that are true don't feel the need to explain, justify, etc. It's people who are creating stories who need to give background to convince others that it's plausible, b/c it doesn't sound plausible to the person saying it.
When he started all that explaining it was around the movie Sunday night. He was pacing the floor. and all these umms, you knows, and all these explanations of what and why. That's a timeframe that needs to be clarified more.

The other thing was, when MB asked MR if he felt guilt, he said something like - especially when I think of him lying on the couch and I didn't try harder to wake him. That hit me b.c all along it's been a bit chilling to me when I hear how DR was "out like a light" on the couch in the AM. and that's the part MR feels guilt about. I just don't think DR was simply asleep on the couch that morning.

I think there's a lot in that interview to take note of, and thanks to whomever transcribed it. This is just what struck me initially.

When MB double checked on the text at 9:37 being sent from Dylan's phone, she got the info by email from Bender -

Sherry ‏@SherryGrondin
@DylanRedwine @MelissaBlasius @SherryGrondin WHO confirmed. Where can that confirmation be found? Media article? Press release? Where?

Melissa Blasius ‏@MelissaBlasius
@SherryGrondin LPCSO Spokesman Dan Bender. Again, do you have info to say otherwise?

Sherry ‏@SherryGrondin
@MelissaBlasius Bender told you? Do you have that on video? Why no press release from LE stating same?

Melissa Blasius ‏@MelissaBlasius
@SherryGrondin Since Mark's and Elaine's stories differed about test times during my interviews, I emailed Bender when I returned to Denver.

Melissa Blasius ‏@MelissaBlasius
@ClarystaInSun @kyleclark @9news It was sent from his phone #dylanredwine

per MB he is working out of state.....and wherever he was at 6:30, he would pull over his truck and beam a light...

I wonder if LE is tracking him on these trips. I mean, I guess he has not been ruled out and at least some people feel Dylan was hidden by one parent or another (not me) and if it was MR perhaps he would want to visit Dylan on his birthday, wherever he is being held prisoner.

If it was me, I don't know if I would go. I would be so heartbroken. I don't know if I could take it. All those people, trying to keep up the front and all time, just kind of dying inside

Salem

Dylan - I pray wherever you are, you are feeling the celebration of your birthday and all the love folks are sending your way.

Looks more like a river or a creek to me.

I think it's the mountain range. JMO

@KyleClark @kevinltorres @melissablasius Melissa you got to speak with Mark, are you surprised he did not attend any of his bday parties?

Melissa Blasius @MelissaBlasius
@CooksofBayfield @KyleClark @kevinltorres Mark told me wherever he was at 6:30, he would pull over his truck and beam a light for Dylan

Melissa Blasius ‏@MelissaBlasius
@CooksofBayfield @KyleClark @kevinltorres I talked to him yesterday. He was working out of state and trying to make the drive back in time.

scorekeeper, if you click View Conversation under any of Melissa's tweets, it will show you the question she's responding to so we can see the context. Just a little tip I discovered in my twitter travels.

Well, to be fair moving one's son 6 hours away from his father is kind of a 'first shot fired', IMO.

Does anyone know how often/what percentage of his visitation rights he opted to use?

 

[The Cheese]

Anne cook ‏@CooksofBayfield
@kevinltorres tell @Kyleclark @melissablasius about #Bayfield - we are simply not going to believe someone drive up here and took a kid

Melissa Blasius ‏@MelissaBlasius
@CooksofBayfield @kevinltorres @Kyleclark I hope that's not the case, but it's not impossible. Investigators have not ruled that out.

Clarysta Sunshine ‏@ClarystaInSun
@MelissaBlasius @kyleclark @9news Why was his mother unaware then? Did she not check online to see what numbers were contacted?

Melissa Blasius ‏@MelissaBlasius
@ClarystaInSun @kyleclark @9news I'm not sure... I'll ask her.

I believe we have followed a few unsolved cases; maybe this case will not follow suit! Maybe we should follow Mark's words & let the investigation follow suit or whatever he said lol. :angel:

oh, that's what bugged me too. that seems like a pretty lackadaisical attitude to me coming from the parent of a missing child. offering respect to LE is one thing, and gratitude, but pushing them to try harder seems more the norm then sitting back and letting them do (or not do) what they should be doing.

MR is really laid back and nonchalant. he does not seem worried - about his son or about his guilt (if he has any). It's extremely odd. extremely odd. it's very confusing to me. He has to either know DR is safe, or know he's done something that no one will ever find out about.

oh - and the part about DR being there at MR's for such a short time. a week is not really that short. I guess if he spends 1/2 of it at friends' it's short. But 12 hours is certainly short. So only buying snacks to get through a day or two and not getting anything for T'day or the rest of the week is telling to me. I was worried that was the case and it does not bode well to me. b/c in the same breath he talks about how when you go to Durango, you make sure you get everything you need - you think about it - b.c you don't want to go back again the next day.

and the last thing: MR says he has absolutely every reason to believe DR was still wearing what he had on Sunday night. That's really quite certain.

Presumably a blonde, blue eyed child would stand out like a sore thumb in such an area.

Depends on the area. It would not be too surprising in the valley, Mexico City especially. Maybe Monterrey and the Yucatan area some. There are far more of fair/light eyed Mexicans than most Americans realize. I think mexico is 9%caucasion, 30%indigenous and 60%mestizo- the 60% being indigenous/european blend. Within families, its not uncommon to find euro-centric recessive OR dominant genes. The euro roots are not just Spaniard, either... but it's getting to be far too off topic than this conversation warrants.

Like I said, I'm not making a claim he is there. I believe that possibilities that keep him safe are going to be preferred by family right now, and understandably so. I haven't seen any indication he is there.

It's not at all odd. Men aren't generally spastic creatures and we tend to internalize our anxiety and grief. This is especially true in rugged, blue collar types. Heck, if he did do something that "no one will ever find out about" I'd expect his behavior to be the opposite of what he displays.

Unless, of course, he is a cold, calculating, Ted Bundy-esque monster worthy of his own episode of Criminal Minds. I don't think anyone could come to that kind of conclusion based on what we have seen and the facts we have without a pure fantasy-driven imagination.

Wow incredible video of the birthday event from Kevin Torres, 9news. Warning - it's got me bawling -

Elaine Redwine said she and her older son have been pleading with Dylan’s father.

“Dr. Phil is offering to put us on this Wednesday,” she said, referring to daytime talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw.

“I would love for (Mark Redwine) to join us,” she said. “It’s very important that we get this information about Dylan out there. As I’ve said all along, this is only about finding Dylan, and we need to work together as a team to do this.”

Sounds to me like she is just trying to set him up for an ambush. If it was about Dylan, she wouldn't be publicizing every little tiff she has with him and just go on the show without him. She knows his version of the events. The damage of publicly accusing him has been done. Move on.

I hope this happens! Thanks for the updates

I got the impression from ER's interview that she may believe DR is being held by a family member. She acknowledged LE was looking at all family members, and she said "if you love him, set him free" or something. That's a weird thing to say to a stranger abductor.
Mark doesn't seem too worried about DR. Did he really have someone take and hide him and keep him safe? Is he holding out? for what? for ER to do something? or is he just enjoying torturing her?
MOO, IMO, JMO and etc.

 

[cluciano63]

I don't even think Phil, or Oprah, etc. would bring parents of missing kids onto their shows, unless there was drama and tension between family members, or suspicion on one or more of the parents.

I also have doubts about the usefulness, but I guess you have to try everything you can. I doubt very much that Dylan is anyplace where he could be seen by the public, whether alive or otherwise. As a teenage boy, vs. a child or perhaps even a girl, I doubt very much a kidnapper would risk taking him out and about.

More likely, it will just be more drama, IMO.

Well, her sister said they are putting the idea of a stranger out their minds by choice, so I doubt it means much more than hope.
