CO- Dylan Redwine, 13, Vallecito, 19 November 2012 - #37

I realize that ... but the one possibility that explains him not using the phone is that the battery was dead. Since he didn't have an alarm and get up on time, I might also assume that his battery was dead.

No text ... no alarm ... why?

MR doesn't have alarm clocks? Why doesn't he wake up when MR spend up to an hour trying to wake him up?

Really? Do people habitually get dressed for work and then go to sleep for 8 hours? I had no idea!

Some teenagers do. When trying to juggle the homework, after school sports and keeping track of friends and family, stuffing dinner down your throat, dumping yourself in the shower, putting on clean clothes and crashing out at midnight is the norm for a lot of my son's friends. They are wrinkled in the morning, but quite clean. The girls, not so much on the sleeping in clothes.

I did read it and like all of ER's posts, it was quietly heartbreaking. I interpreted it as she was willing to work through issues with MR to get through this. Poor lady, so much vitriol is attributed to her but is actually FB garbage.

I hope this was not directed at me. I mentioned her post because I thought it was hopeful and they were moving forward. I agree most of FB is garbage and I hate it. jmo

RN, 13, a friend of Dylan’s said in a phone interview Saturday that Dylan was originally going to Bayfield to visit his friends Sunday night but then changed that to meet them at 6:30 a.m. Monday

Maybe it changed and was ' too late' because R was almost an
hour away from Bayfield?

According to The Durango Herald, the divers began the search Sunday in an area that cadaver dogs had flagged Saturday while aboard watercraft.

No remains had been found by Monday morning.

Cadaver dogs and patrols were also going out around the 12 miles of shoreline, La Plata County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Dan Bender told NBC News on Monday.

I do. If people routinely got dressed for school and work at night, and then went to bed for 8 hours, the world would be full of very smelly people. If a 13 year old has this habit, I think that something is "off" somewhere.

Well then you'll be really surprised to learn that Dylan apparently slept in the clothes that he wore the day before, including a plane ride, and was still wearing them when he disappeared. Even his socks.

His outfit consisted of a pair of shorts and a tshirt and a pair of running shoes. And if he left the house to hitch to town in his shorts and tshirt it was about 40 degrees F at the time.

MOO

Trained cadaver dogs from La Plata Search and Rescue alerted on unidentified scent sources in Vallecito Lake Saturday and again Sunday morning. Seven divers from New Mexico State Police searched the south end of the lake Sunday to determine what the dogs may have been alerting on. Nothing had been found, and divers were to continue the search on Monday.

At the request of the dive team, two boats equipped with sonar will survey the area Monday. The divers will then be able to maximize their limited time by only searching where blips appear on sonar. Members of La Plata Search and Rescue will also continue to search portions of the shoreline that is several miles in length.

 

[Lordeebee]

New Mexico police provided a seven-member dive team to help with the search after a pair of K9 dogs in separate incidents alerted handlers to scents they detected from the water at the south end of the lake.

It remains unclear whether the smells had anything to do with the youngster, Bender said.

Divers are limited to spending no more than 30 minutes in the water because of the altitude and water temperature — a bone-chilling 41 degrees.The lake is up to 40 feet deep.

After 20 to 30 minutes, the divers must take a break of at least eight hours.

Members of La Plata County Search & Rescue are searching the lake's approximately 12 miles of shoreline, which is heavily wooded.

Hmmmmm ... that doesn't sound good to me. Either no one ensured that he cleaned up and packed properly, or he was willful and didn't listen to anyone ... but I do not consider that to be normal.

Day 7: Saturday, Nov. 24

Nearly 200 community volunteers and law-enforcement personnel, including a helicopter from the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office, La Plata County Mounted Patrol, La Plata County Search and Rescue teams and two K-9 search and rescue teams, go door to door and search the forest in Vallecito and Bayfield.

Afternoon: Law-enforcement teams with cadaver dogs search Vallecito Reservoir. The dogs “hit” on several spots near the dam while aboard a watercraft.

Day 7: Sunday, Nov. 25

A dive team from New Mexico State Police searches the area targeted by cadaver dogs Saturday near the dam at Vallecito Reservoir. No body is found.

Day 9: Monday, Nov. 26

Three law-enforcement boats equipped with sonar trace patterns search three points on Vallecito Reservoir near the dam that cadaver dogs on Saturday indicated were points of interest. Nothing unusual is found.

 

[jjenny]

Where exactly are you going with all this, otto? What do his dressing and washing habits have to do with him going missing? He was a teenage male.
That behavior is not abnormal for a teenage male.

I don't believe it's at all uncommon for kids to do that. Most children take their baths/showers at bedtime. We have only one shower, so my son always took his at night.

When the school bus comes at 7 am, you do everything you can the night before. :moo:

Since no one was there when he left we don't know for sure what he was wearing. He could of changed and put his dirty clothes back in his back pack. The only thing we know is what he had on when he was last seen by anyone. jmo

Oh no, not at all. Just in general.

No text ... no alarm ... why?

Why assume his battery was dead just because he didn't wake up? How do you know he even used his alarm?

His Dad tried to wake him up, apparently. So he was not relying upon an alarm. He was relying upon his Dad. So making an assumption about his phone seems unwarranted, imo.

 

[The Cheese]

Are you serious?

Yes certainly. I posted the statistics earlier. If you have different ones, I'd be very interested in seeing them.

That's true! However it was the one thing that both Mark & Elaine agreed on in their uncut interviews with MB: That Dylan wouldn't have bothered changing clothes on Monday. :floorlaugh:

We usually took our showers the night before, but we'd never be allowed to go to school in clothes we'd slept in. Of course, that was before permanent press clothes were around, and wrinkled dresses/skirts look pretty bad (also back when schools had "dress codes".) I guess I've never really thought to ask people when their kids dressed for school, so it might be more common than some of us think. MOO

My boys always took their shower at night, but they slept in their underwear. Would never have worn clothes they had slept in to school. So, that just shows they are all different. imo

 

[katydid23]

Teenagers do that ... out cold, unable to snap out of it for an hour and then suddenly, there they are, heading out the door.

That hasn't been my experience. But maybe it is true for Dylan.

But why would he head out the door without communicating with anyone. Reportedly, he never even turned his cell on that morning.
