CO- Dylan Redwine, 13, Vallecito, 19 November 2012 - #34

Yes so that places Mark there with Dylan for that last text message.

I believe he said, and I am paraphrasing, he was texting or doing something on his phone. jmo

 

[MamaJoJo]

And we all know how ER feels about MR. To put two people face to face who have not even texted in over two months I think would be a disaster. People will come away from that show only rembering two parents who hate each other and the poor child caught in between the two. Probably won't even remember the state. jmo

While I can see where you are coming from, I disagree. Dr. Phil would interview each of them, alone, in front of the audience. I'm sure CR will be by ER's side. Then, the face-to-face interview would take place with Dr. Phil in the center. I doubt MR would loose his cool given how he has interviewed lately, in that calm, "I'm kinder than a kitten" voice. And ER knows how important this interview is; she'll be emotional but will keep it together, IMO. The wildcard is CR.

But will viewers remember Dylan's face or name after the show if the focus is on Mark and his ex wife's current relationship?

How much different is it really from seeing a flyer on a store though really?

Didn't he say 10-10:30ish? And I thought Dylan was texting on the couch as he ran up to bed?

I thought he said that Dylan was texting or maybe playing a game. I would imagine it would be hard to tell without looking close up to the screen of whatever device Dylan was using. MOO.

I've seen Dr Phil interview people separately and never bring them together on the show. That might be best in this case. I agree that the 2 (or 3) of them probably couldn't sit down and have a heart to heart in a civil matter if their lives depended on it (or even if Dylan's life depended on it).
Mark did not come across as this crazy maniac in his interview and although I believe he bobbed and weaved around many questions, I don't see him coming across on the show as a heartless child killer. I don't think people would see him as such.
Dr Phil is retired. Some are acting like he has zero experience in psychology and never held a license or degree. Not true.

A flyer of missing Dylan doesn't convey all of the drama that a fight between an ex wife and her ex husband on TV would have.

I'll put it this way. If the Dr Phil show is only about Dylan and getting his image out to the public like a giant nationwide flyer, then there is little reason to have Mark on the show. MOO.

But, I would think that viewers would come away with what we all have over the last three months, which is where in the world could he have disappeared to? I don't necessarily think the "War of the Roses" relationship is a distraction, especially for Dr. Phil's viewers, who possibly thrive on the strife. I think it can be framed as, yes, the parents are warring but WHERE IS DYLAN in all of this?

But my feeling is that viewers would think one of them knows, so they (viewers) don't need to worry about him.

 

[MamaJoJo]

I think it's different because it reaches a much larger audience which matters if Dylan is out there alive somewhere. I think it's different because it possible will show inconsistencies in MR's timeline (or lack thereof) and cause many more people to scratch their head. This show would be seen by hundreds of thousands of people; much more coverage that the flyers that have been put up in Durango, Bayfield and the surrounding communities.

 

[ColdHands]

To put the focus of the show on Dylan, I think MR should go on alone. Dr Phil could have recorded segments with ER and CR and then have them Skype in if there was something they felt the need to add.

 

[MamaJoJo]

Callous bas___ds! Maybe, but I'd like to think they would be intrigued, as we are, as all of the FB followers are, as to what really happened to Dylan. Can any one of us really do anything but parse through the information and hope that we find that one damning clue? That one piece that would bring Dylan home? The more eyes the better, IMO, and I think that this national coverage can only bring more eyes.

 

[Psychic Sleuth]

I have a feeling if the show is done at all it's only going to be Cory and Elaine. I think in that case Dr Phil might use the uncut MB interview of Mark to analyze what he said.

 

[Dee10]

I would guaranty that DR Phil would go pretty hard at Mark but I seriously doubt that he would do the same to Elaine. In order to generate some conflict Dr Phil would need to have a villain and a good guy. Mark would be the obvious choice for the villain and Elaine would be the good guy. MOO.

I think he would be focus on any discrepancy's but you haven't seen any IIRC. So if there aren't any Mark should be fine right? We have to remember ER was at work, so she has a solid alibi & 5-6 hrs. away...so I agree she is the good guy, although I do expect he will question motives, etc. That is where the drama will come in, but...

Although I may not hold him in as high esteem as others seem to, bottom line though he is looking for the truth! Aren't well all!!!

That's an interesting angle. I can't imagine MR would EVER agree to that!

 

[Psychic Sleuth]

And I really don't care what viewers think! I just want them to see that little boy with the big blue eyes that is missing from Colorado!!

Well, I do not believe either parent is "hiding" him. If I did, I probably would be far less interested, to be honest.

I thought he said texting then later on he said he wasn't sure what he was doing. I could be wrong.

I thought so, too.

BBM
So one of the purposes of the Dr Phil show would be to show inconsistencies in Mark's timeline which would be used against him in the court of public opinion.

I would understand completely if he declines to participate in his own lynching. MOO.

The verbal exchange between all the people. jmo

I think that is the best idea too, but has Mark even committed? They have been given the opportunity & a date, probably certain terms as well by a national show that missing children's parents would do anything to get on. Personally, it begs the question if a person (that people have questions about) turn the opportunity down, puts it off, etc.
