Exactly... I don't think anyone's lying deliberately, but I do find the timing and vague description really strange. All JMO.
I don't think anyone is deliberately lying. But because of time passed, I am not convinced that the date this hispanic male was seen at is accurate.
And if the tipster believed it to be important, I find it strange that the tip only came in last weekend (at least that is what was reported).
It's not strange considering it was almost 3 months ago. It'd be hard to remember much of a description over this time.
Having a holiday that week provides an anchor that makes recall easier. I can remember what I did that Monday because it was a short work and school week and so I had outpatient surgery so I wouldn't miss much time from work, but I can't remember what I did last Monday. Or maybe this person has recounted their story often since November 19.]So how does the tipster know the exact date?
Perhaps this person was recently persuaded that the information actually was of value or that the decision of "value" should be up to LE. Or someone else called the tip line and suggested LE talk to this person.]And why wasn't this tip send in sooner if tipster considered it to be of value? If tipster didn't consider it to be of value then, what changed now?
Did the tip only come in last weekend? I only remember LE saying that they talked to this witness last weekend, not that it is when they got the tip. We really don't know when they got the tip, do we?
I've thought of another possibility. Perhaps the PI just talked to this witness and persuaded them to talk to LE. They may not have associated seeing this man with Dylan's case at all, until the PI talked to them about it. Or even without the PI involved, they still just had not seen a reason before now to talk to LE. It's also possible that LE just talked to them recently, going back and following up leads.
Anything is possible.

From that story:http://denver.cbslocal.com/2013/02/13/missing-teens-father-believes-dylan-redwine-still-alive/
ETA: I am just one half step behind today!
From that story:
My ex-wife and I both agree that Dylan is not the kind of kid that would run away but I also think that theres a possibility that Dylan was torn between his parents, said Mark.
My fear is hes out there somewhere, able to see whats going on and he sees the conflict going on between his mom and I, said Mark. I think thats a huge concern. But who knows what goes through a 13-year-olds head.
Each statement is odd.
