CO- Dylan Redwine, 13, Vallecito, 19 November 2012 - #35

I did think it was odd he brought that up... why would that matter? who would need to know the last time Dylan was there what kind of plane ticket he bought?

Since Dylan did not come back to Colorado Springs. It seems odd that a one way ticket was purchased. Of course there could be all kinds of reasons. If it was actually the case that only a one way ticket was purchased, which is unknown.

I don't think we know about Dylan's planned return. If they went to his brother's for the holiday, would that have been close to Colorado Springs? Seems really ridiculous if he did not have a return ticket, as they are really expensive last minute, unless they had a plan to drive and meet up with ER. But I am not really sure if MR meant this ticket was not roundtrip, also there was some question about direct vs. nonstop at one point. He called a flight a nonstop, but I do not think there are any from CS to Durango. Direct means he could stay on the plane if it touched down, which is what I think he was trying to say about that. JMO.

I looked and it is only a 5 hour and 43 minute drive from Vallecito, CO to Colorado Springs, CO. Might just be me, but that's a completely doable drive in a day, so Mark may have been planning on driving Dylan back. Just a thought.

Kind of odd that it never came up, since he did talk about plane tickets more than once. But a 12-hr round trip drive is pretty risky up there in November, some pretty wild storms and it is not a main highway most of the time.

Who said Mark bought Dylan a one way ticket? Link please.

As another thought, it might depend on where his brother lives. Maybe drive to brothers house and Dylan's mother could pick him up there. I have a niece that used to visit her dad in the area. I remember the 24 hour round trip car trip to go pick her up because her father was a flake and forgot the return ticket to get her home....

Storms reminds me, Ransom said no dirt, but was there any snow that could have had footprints somewhere? I will have to ask tomorrow.

 

[cluciano63]

But as far as driving him to his brother's house, that plan was only tentative, as far as I know, to even go there for Thanksgiving dinner.

I think they need to start over with the investigation. Begin at MR's house and canvass the area with the dogs. I also would like to know more specifics on why they ruled out the postal worker sighting.

I feel like things have been terribly derailed by the drama between the parents and the divorce issues. Their issues are not uncommon from many other couples. Many couples have bad stories to tell about what happened in their marriage or in divorce and many are unable to communicate well. Who is hurt the most by this, the children. Parents just don't typically print their issues in the paper or on SM sites.

We see cases on here of children that seem to vanish in thin air all the time. There are always unexplainable things that don't make sense or add up. Then later, we find out it was a abduction or accident that had nothing to do with the parents at all. Although extensive searches are done, a lot of times the child is found later, near where they searched by someone out walking and it is usually near where the child disappeared from.

Maybe MR doesn't want to play the FB game or the Dr. Phil game, which is exactly what I think it is. Maybe he doesn't want to get into a texting argument so only what he says out of who knows how many texts gets posted on FB, again another game that has caused further isolation. I think there have been outside influences that have encouraged this game to continue and progress and it has caused harm that may not be able to be repaired.

Therefore, the parents can both still work towards the goal of finding Dylan but I don't think that they will be able to get past the anger and stand side by side in doing so and I don't see how it would make any difference if they worked separately or together.

MSM has not said it was a one way ticket. Some of us are wondering about it. In one of Mark's early interviews (the link is in various places), he makes reference to the last time Dylan visited. He says that "I think probably sometime in early September, I had flown him over from Colorado Springs on a round trip ticket on that point so he came over here". And then when he refers to this visit it is "And so, you know, when I got the flight for him I made sure it was flight he could get on in Colorado". No mention of that one being a round trip. Made some people wonder if it was a round trip ticket or a one way ticket, and if one way, why?

That is why I write "Just a thought" at the end of my conjectures, anyway. As cluciano63 posted "I don't think we know about Dylan's planned return."

True, just thinking about any reason why the ticket might possibly have been a one way one, trying to figure out the wording in Mark's interviews. He certainly has a rambling way of speaking, with a lot of things thrown in that don't seem to apply from the outside listening point. They probably make sense in his head, though.

I was wondering in general why take a plane when it is only 6 hours car time (by Mapquest), but then I realized the rest of the world probably doesn't like to travel by car as much as I do. I hate sitting for two hours in an airport for a 1 hour flight and another hour to get out of the airport and to your car. By that time, I could almost have driven.

I just googled the one way ticket thing and it looks like it's a rumor being discussed elsewhere. It makes me wonder if this was another game tactic.

 

[cluciano63]

Surely LE is used to drama and families in dispute, and can do their work without letting those issues overtake the case. Probably the majority of their cases are domestic-related incidents. LE is very used to dealing with drama, IMO.

Going back to the beginning is always a good dies, if they are stuck, which I believe they are. It can't do any harm. But this is the type of case where they will never be able to eliminate MR, in my opinion, unless Dylan is found and/or someone else confesses. That is just the way it goes, and it makes it more difficult for LE, naturally, when they cannot rule out the last person known to see him.

You're probably right. Unfortunately, I really don't think he's the most obvious person to suspect, but that's not my call. I do hope there is eventually proof that will either convict him or clear him. If he's innocent, nobody should have to live like that; if he did do something to Dylan, than what's happening isn't punishment enough. MOO

I just can't imagine what could clear him, though, short of an arrest with good evidence of someone else. Even if stranger DNA was found at the home at some point, that would not rule out his involvement.

No the one way ticket is not rumour. MR stated it early on in one of his first verbal interviews.

With the new custody arrangements, each parent was responsible for half of the trip.

ER was going to pick DR up.

Link is in the media/timeline will try and pulll it for you.

Kinda like looking for footprints on pavement :waitasec:.

Never have been able to figure that allegation out. Maybe they thought the tread of his runners would make an imprint.

 

[Allusonz]

It would be nice to know, wouldn't it?

Without probable cause, LE would not be able to go onto private property without permission.

It is an issue that many SAR have.

 

[Allusonz]

One more thing. Sorry if I was too subtle about my love of Vallecito/Durango area. I posted vids of skijoring SkiJoring - YouTube in near by Silverton.

WHO ... pooped all over the postal worker who ID Dylan on Nov. 19th? Was it LE? Things to ponder!

Well now .. fftobed:

Great to see you back Ransom.

Was not LE that dismissed the postal worker.

IIRC I did come across it in MSM. Will search tomorrow for the link.

Most definately something that should be looked at and given some thought!!!

 

[Allusonz]

Thanks, but my question was about Cheese's post saying that admin was posting all over the internet about what a **** Mark is. Not about admin talking about the new info.

I believe that Ransom is trying to help you get that answer.

Unfortunately, we must do this the long way around.

 

[Allusonz]

Also that Dylan didn't have a problem waking up in the morning, which she mentioned early on.

So if DR was able to get up without issue in the morning, I must ask then why did he shower and dress for school the night before?

I am quite sure it was not just to sleep in the clothes he would wear the next day.

Makes little sense to me.

 

[Allusonz]

LE has barely commented on this case, so I highly doubt they care about the PI telling people on FB about it. They chose to inform the MSM and the rest of the public for a reason.

They will post about Mark refusing to do the Dr. Phil episode, but won't post the news article about the witness? Doesn't make any sense.

I find this response to be very telling!
