Who is Maria M?

Thanks,

Salem

She's a female friend who spent 2 weeks with him ( MR ) during Christmas time and is quoted in one of the papers saying that ER sent the text that said ' tell me where dylan is, you '. We have been trying to figure if shes' a girlfriend or just a woman friend who was staying a long time to help him through the mess and holidays. As far as I know that's the only time shes' talked,right?

Someone's going to post a link asap I am sure and no I don't have one !

Respectful correction: You are speaking of TM.

M and her mother are only posting on FB at this time.

I thought her name was Teresa, if this is the woman who spoke to the media.

Thank you - that's what I thought, but it is entirely possible I missed something.

Let's stop that discussion right now. In fact, I'm going to remove it. There is no reason to be speculating about innocent people. Any discussion of TM should be limited to what MSM has given us.

Thanks,

Salem

I'm right there in the boat with you!!

 

[SuperMom1995]

If he was really there looking for rentals, maybe he follows the local papers and will see the story. That is about all I can think of, as far as him coming forward on so little information.

Maybe he was hired to do someone's dirty work, thus, "I have no involvement with where Dylan is at" :waitasec:

 

[TxLady2]

IMO I don't think they think it is credible. There's a lot going on behind the scenes.

I'm going to suggest that everyone be cautious about this new lead.

I'm not saying it's not credible. I don't know. LE is obviously taking it seriously.

It's possible, if this person exists they may have seen MR somewhere where he didn't claim to be. Who knows?

Why do some of you keep saying "if this person exists?" Do you think the tipster lied to LE and never saw this man? Or do you think LE is lying about this tip?

Sounds to me like LE is taking it pretty seriously, so I don't understand saying he may not exist. I hope the tipster isn't reading here because that would have to be kind of insulting to read that he/she is making it up. And it would discourage a lot of folks from ever contacting LE when they did see or hear something that could help solve a case.

MOO

Poor Dylan! what a mess!.. I hope that LE is able to wade through the BS to find where and what's happened to Dylan.. This isn't the the first case that's had a surge of monkey wrenches begin to explode onto the scene.. Wading through the further muddied waters IMO ONLY WORKS IN THE BEST INTEREST of those involved in Dylan's "disappearance"..jmo.

 

[cluciano63]

I don't think we can talk about why some are finding this tip a little odd. JMO

 

[TxLady2]

IMO LE is doing their job by asking for anyone that can be a potential witness to come forward. They have no idea what the witnesses may or may not say. They are using the timeline of Sunday to Monday because they have to go back to the actual last KNOWN and VERIFIED sighting of Dylan. In broadening the time frame, they are looking at all possible avenues.

When a tip comes in, they (LE) has an obligation to review it, some are so off the wall that they can immediately be discounted. Depending on how the tip was called in, LE could just pass by it not knowing what the tipster is actually adding to the investigation.
“This is John Doe, please give me a call at 234-5678, Thank you” LE calls the number, leaves a message and the guy never calls back. Or his mailbox is full and can’t receive a message.
In this case, they received a tip, spoke with the tipster and are following up on it. Nothing more, nothing less.

Imagine what would happen during a criminal trial:
Defense Attorney: “Mr. Bender, do you remember receiving a tip about a 45-50 yo Hispanic male acting suspiciously on the morning of November 19, 2012”

Bender, “Yes I remember that tip”

Defense Attorney, “Did you ever try to locate this 45-50 yo Hispanic male?”

Bender, “No we did not”

Defense Attorney, “Why not?”

Bender, “Well it came in three months in to the investigation and we just didn’t think it was important to find this individual.”

Ok, so now the police have given reasonable doubt to every jury member on the panel. LE did not eliminate everyone except the defendant. Tunnel vision is not investigating. I don’t believe that it matters one bit that this tip just came in, I do believe that it matters one bit that LE is asking for this individual to come forward. IF there is ever a trial, LE can say with 10% confidence that they received a tip on a person that may be a witness and LE did everything in their power to find this witness.

I agree with you 100%!!! Even if this tip came almost 3 months into the case, it doesn't mean it is not credible. If LE is taking it seriously, then by golly, I'm going to take it seriously too, until I hear otherwise!

Btw, don't you mean 100%, not 10? (last sentence in your post) :seeya:

 

[TxLady2]

I personally don't think it should be ignored or discounted. What's the harm in trying to find this possible tipster and questioning him? LE has to follow up on this tip.

I think it's just suspicious to some that the idea of a Hispanic male in the woods was discussed prior to the tip being phoned in to LE. And I think there are those that think the way this tip was obtained might be questionable. I knew about this possible Hispanic male prior to the tip being phoned in and I know others here did too. I hope that makes sense. I don't know how much I can discuss here.

I don't think they're trying to find the tipster, they've probably already talked to that person... they're trying to locate the man the tipster saw and talked to.

 

[Eileen730]

I'm right there in the boat with you!!

LOL and we lost the oars!

 

[TxLady2]

And here's another VERY HYPOTHETICAL thought/question.

What IF MR called the tip in? Would LE be required to follow up on it? I'M NOT SAYING THIS HAPPENED IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. I'm just asking a hypothetical question.

What IF MR told LE that he saw a man fitting this description that morning and LE never did anything to follow up on it? MR decides to call the tip in to LE. Is LE required to treat it like any other tip or would it be different?

NOT SAYING THIS HAPPENED AND IT'S PROBABLY FAR FETCHED BUT THIS DAWNED ON ME AS A POSSIBILTY.

:what:

:waitasec:

 

[jjenny]

I don't think they're trying to find the tipster, they've probably already talked to that person... they're trying to locate the man the tipster saw and talked to.

They did already talk to the tipster. But seriously, almost three months later, somebody reports seeing a man, provides a very general description, and some are wondering why we aren't jumping up and down with excitement over this?

 

[Psychic Sleuth]

I don't think they're trying to find the tipster, they've probably already talked to that person... they're trying to locate the man the tipster saw and talked to.

Haha, that was a typo on my part. Should have said person. Apologies for any confusion.

 

[Psychic Sleuth]

OT For those following the Chris Dorner/cop killer story in CA there are reports that he has been found in a cabin in Big Bear. Shootout underway. Other details are sketchy.

 

[TxLady2]

VERY HYPOTHETICAL

I guess what I am getting at is; what if MR told his PI that he told LE in the beginning about this Hispanic male he saw and LE never checked into it? What if then, on the advise of his PI, MR calls this tip into the tipline?
Would LE be required at that point to treat it like any other tip?

I'm not picking on you, really I'm not.

In your hypothetical, say MR had told LE about this man in the beginning. I don't believe LE would do nothing then, and just now be taking it seriously. Why would it be serious to them now as opposed to almost 3 months ago?

I also don't think Mark would call it in to the tip line, he would want to talk to the detectives assigned to the case and ask them if they had ever followed up on it and what were the results. Calling something like that in anonymously would make him look kind of suspicious, and I think his PI would realize that. I doubt that LE would take it very seriously if he did that. So that leads me to believe that the tipster is legit, and LE believes they are credible. And I don't think they would release a statement to the press if that tip had come from Mark.

 

[TxLady2]

Do we know the tipster and the person interviewed are the same?
And do we know for sure what date the tip was called in?

Sorry if I missed this info.

I would assume that the person they interviewed was the same person who told them about seeing the hispanic male. I can't think of any good reason why someone else would contact them about another person seeing this man.
