CO- Dylan Redwine, 13, Vallecito, 19 November 2012 - #36

[NC Analyzer]

I don't think that the focus of the Dr Phil show will be on Dylan. Focusing on the family dynamics will be much more interesting to viewers and will make much better soundbites to get people to tune in. MOO.

Just my opinion, but that's pretty much what everyone is focusing on...even here on WS. Family dynamics are usually looked into by investigators. It isn't unusual or without merit. Who we are is usually the key to what we do. MOO

Do 13 year old boys watch Dora the Explorer?

Not willingly.

 

[margarita25]

I wouldn't go on Dr. Phil with those two even if I were innocent - especially alone and without support and/or counsel. MR's doing so gives me the impression that he has nothing to hide and is, as he has always said, willing to put up with the array of unfounded accusations from misguided folks if it means getting the focus off of him and finding out who took Dylan.

Again, I personally wouldn't give the mob the satisfaction of thinking they successfully bullied me into going on the show. God only knows what they'll try after he goes on the show, maintains his composure - again, implores his innocence - again, states the same story - again, and relays it with substantial grief and concern - again.

Maybe they should throw him in the water next. If he floats he is guilty, if he sinks he is innocent.

Respectfully, I think MR's lack of willingness to communicate and join up with the family in order to find Dylan is one of the biggest problems in this in case! From Day 1! Man up!!! If there is ever a time to put differences aside, etc., this is it. Look at Jessica Ridgeway's dad and how quickly he joined forces...Now, sure, perhaps the Ridgeway's family dynamic may have been much less messy and volatile, but still.

Look at the interviews, so much of his comments are directed at ER, blaming LE....

I'm not accusing him, but I'm saying he has dropped the ball in my opinion as far as trying to be helpful to his family. Doesn't he understand what this must be like for ER and Cory? His communication with the family was virtually zilch initially, as I understand it!!!

 

[margarita25]

wow supermom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In those instances, what was done with the bodies???? I'm going to take a look at those cases. Thank you for posting. Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[katydid23]

With all due respect, this doesn't answer the poster's questions. Your last paragraph makes it even harder to rationalize to me. If it's beyond your scope of understanding or acceptance, then how on earth did you come to this conclusion, that this man is capable of murdering his own son? What did he DO that caused these feelings? There has to be something, IMO, otherwise it is just feelings and doubts... not certainty.

Did he ever cause serious harm to one of you? Did he ever threaten to hurt or kill one of the boys, either verbally or physically? Did he pick up a baseball bat or a club or a gun, and come toward any of you in a threatening manner? (That right there, in Texas, is enough to land someone in jail, btw.)

Please understand, I mean no disrespect, I am only asking what happened to make you think he's capable of murder. Your post only covers your feelings, it says nothing about what HE has done that caused them. That's all we're asking. WHY would he want Dylan dead?

IMO, it takes a special kind of evil for a parent to kill their own child. So far I have not seen any evil in this man. You know him better than we do, so I'm not asking HOW you feel, but WHY you feel that way.

Again, I apologize if this is too personal. If you can't answer, then just ignore, I'll understand.

It wouldn't have to be 'evil' if he just lost his temper and pushed the kid too hard or hit him harder than he meant to.

Does anyone here think he wont show?

I think that even here there is too much emphasis on the family dynamics vs evidence. In my opinion LE has some evidence other than family relationships to investigate. There isn't a lot of evidence for us to discuss so we have a lot of post's about the family,speech patterns, gestures, and body language.

Out of all the things that could be discussed at length on the Dr Phil show, family dynamics stands out to me as the most obvious choice. MOO.

FWIW we havent see this man in a situation other than sitting talking to a news reporter.

That isn't true. We have seen him joining in the search for DR. Interviews at the video store and his home on the porch, and at the first vigil. jmo

 

[margarita25]

I think you are absolutely right. It is obvious to me that is the agenda. jmo

I'm guessing MR will say he is not interested in this type of exchange, if he even shows up. He has always said he is not interested in drama. I am thinking and hoping Dr. Phil will keep the meeting on track with specific questions. I recommend he uses Katydid's postings for a guide to unanswered questions. In fact, I say katydid should go on there and interview him.

Even if the family dynamics are hashed out, its probably for the better anyway. They obviously need to communicate! ER and Cory deserve this! They deserve a face to face meeting. If I was CBI or FBI, I would've already thrown them in a room together. Perhaps something will come out of this hashing (self implication, motive)....

I know it sounds like I am blaming MR, I am not saying he is guilty because I truly do not know if he is or not.

I do know there has been absolutely no indication by LE that there is a potential predator.

Just from what I have seen I don't think either ER or MR will be able to restrain themselves. It will be a highly charged show and one wrong word from either of them and here we go.

I hope the good doc can keep them in control. When is the show? tia

 

[SCHMAE]

Could you tell me where you got this understanding. Is it reported somewhere? I remember reading that MR and CR talked, but I also thought ER was there. At the beginning and I have forgotten some detail it seems. I recall one of the sons saying he was going to CO to try to get to know his father. Suggesting he really didn't have much of a relationship with him. jmo

It was actually NOT B that was reported to have sat down with MR and CR to talk soon after DR disappeared. I did link it earlier today and I XXXX out the son's name for privacy since that is the ONLY time I've seen that name, but I was surprised it was not the same as the one who's going on Dr Phil.

 

[margarita25]

I'm sorry, this is an awful thought, but baseball was a big part of their lives. Were any baseball bats found in the house? If not, that would be suspicious. If so, I'm sure they have been tested?

 

[mck16]

It was actually NOT Brandon that was reported to have sat down with MR and CR to talk soon after DYlan disappeared. I did link it earlier today and I XXXX out the son's name for privacy since that is the ONLY time I've seen that name, but I was surprised it was not the same as the one who's going on Dr Phil.

Actually the news paper gave the son's name and it was not Brandon you are correct. But, after I posted same, Confusion posted that it was the same person and I guess he has two names. jmo

 

[SCHMAE]

I realize that Doneta, but what I obviously was asking is what can he contribute to the fact that Dylan is missing. Isn't that what the show is supposed to be about?

Well I would guess anyone the show wants on has something of merit to add
to the ' story'. Whether the story is ''where is Dylan'' or where the story is '' do you live in a dysfunctional family' ? I guess we'll have to wait to see.

For all we know MR's oldest son had a phone call or text from MR OR CR OR DR that has a value to the timeline.

FWIW

snipped from article

He has also met with his other son with Elaine Redwine, Cory, 21, and a son from another marriage, Nicholas, 28, from Arizona.
“We all met together in a private room and sat down and talked. I haven’t heard from Cory for three days,” Mark Redwine said. “I think he’s struggling like we all are. I know he’s closer to his brother and to his mom than to me. We were trying to get our emotions out on the table and focus on finding Dylan.”
Mark Redwine said he would like to meet with his ex-wife but so far has not had success beyond the text messages.
“I don’t want to have dinner with her and become buddy, buddy, but as parents of a missing child, people need to know that we can put our differences aside and that we want our son back,” he said.

This statement by MR is so obnoxious.

 

[scorekeeper]

Didn't Mark say something like:

my problem is my ex-wife
or
my problem is with my ex-wife

 

[Confusion]

Actually the news paper gave the son's name and it was not Brandon you are correct. But, after I posted same, Confusion posted that it was the same person and I guess he has two names. jmo

It was stated on FB, and I think it may have been his mother who confirmed it. I read a lot of that stuff without really putting much importance on it. Sometimes I pay more attention to the less important things, I guess. MOO

I have never seen so many people with so many different names in my life until this case.

 

[katydid23]

Thanks for this. So we have no statement from MR where he specifically told Dylan that he would take him to his friends when he got back? Maybe MR thought that Dylan should've known that, but if he didn't say it, maybe Dylan really didn't know. Maybe all he knew was that he missed his ride.

“Before I left I nudged him on the shoulder and he acknowledged that he understood that I needed to leave and if he needed anything he would just call me..”
