I'm just curious why you feel that he isn't near there or the search would be pointless. Can you elaborate more?
I just know that in most missing persons cases, where there is a death, the body is usually found close to home.
I'm cetainly hoping that Dylan is still with us, but I realize that since so much time has past, the probability is not very high.
I still don't believe Dylan made it to MR's home. And a number of hours elapsed til he was reported missing.
