Someone suggested that maybe he is just an anxiety prone guy who can't sit still for long periods of time...I guess being a truck driver must get pretty rough on him. :floorlaugh:

I'm not seeing the humor here. Are you saying driving a truck is a stress free job?


Anyway, my dh sits at a desk all day. The last thing he wants to do when he comes home is sit some more. He's constantly up and tinkering around. Makes me crazy.

I think it's really likely that if Dylan's body is found regardless of it was Father Did It or Stranger Did It, his cell phone will not be with him. I wonder if the backpack is more likely to have been disposed of with Dylan or in a separate location? In which case, maybe the backpack will be found in this search. In the Jessica Ridgeway murder, the backpack was intentionally placed in a different area to mislead LE.

All IMO

BBM: Does anyone know if cadaver dogs will scent on an item that has touched a dead body as opposed to the body itself? For example, someone dumps clothing one place and a body the other. Will HRD dogs scent on the clothing?

I'm an anxiety prone person who does lots of pacing about. I can't sit still through a movie or a 30 minute sitcom. I'm up and about all the time, nervous energy I need to dispense ! FWIW
I can imagine if I had to sit in a truck and drive 10 or 12 hrs a day, I'd be a ball of wild energy when I got out.
But we dont' really know if he drives a truck necessarily like long haul or if he just drives to a job site and
waits for pipe to go in , right?

At least he's not "pacing".

BTW, not that it matters, but my dad and my oldest son are OTR truck drivers, so I'm well aware of what the job entails.

I would think so.

 

[tamild]

But, I specifically remember him texting about that time, and he was texting on the couch after we were here and watching the movie he was over there texting or playing a video or something. I just assumed he was texting, ‘cos it’s not like he can’t ever get service up here, it’s just very sporadic.
BBM

Yep, specifically remember him texting....oops just assumed he was texting

Sounds to me like Dylan was messing with his iPod. :twocents:

It is possible.

 

[SCHMAE]

It is possible.

So if they find anything of Dylan's and the dogs ' hit ' on it, it would
mean that Dylan was deceased when last he wore i t?

Ooh big can o worms.
Ok, well, if they are not cross trained (or the cross training alerts are reliable) and they are well trained dogs, then in theory yes.

 

[Seajay]

I'm watching Dr. Phil right now and for the life of me, I do not see how this would find Dylan. In the episode I'm watching right now, it's a lot of he said/she said. Blame flying back and forth, and Dr. Phil nailing them on what they say.

His objective is to make things better for the kids in this case. How do you make things better when the kid is missing??? The only good I can see coming out of going on Dr. Phil is him jumping both their asses about not working together. IMO

They've got the ex-wife jumping this guy's butt, her new husband jumping this guy's butt, making all kinds of accusations that can't be proven one way or the other. Then it comes down to the mother bailing on the kids and not being in the kids lives. Brother. I don't get this at all. IMO, JMO, MOO and all that.

It would still get his name and face out there no matter what direction the show takes.

I pray they do not

But would that really achieve anything? Surely whatever happened to Dylan happened within very small radius of his dad's house and/or the route to his friend's house - seeing as they are the 2 theories LE are going with. Anyone who potentially saw anything or has information regarding his disappearance will already know Dylan's name and face, due to the local publicity. As being a runaway has been ruled out, surely LE are saying that this case remains local?

Just my opinion, but I don't think that any publicity will change a thing in this case. Except maybe some good audience figures for Dr Phil, but that shouldn't really be a factor.

I guess there is always the chance that he was spotted enroute to a far away location? Perhaps at a rest stop or something. Unlikely, but possible.

Let's say hypothetically, Dylan was kidnapped by a stranger. Dylan was killed back on 11/19...but the stranger is from Phoenix. Someone watching the show who lives in the Phoenix area remembers their neighbor acting strangely around that date. Yeah, it's pretty far-fetched...but who knows? I don't think you would have to go that far from where Dylan went missing to find people who don't know about the case. Or maybe someone was in the area visiting family that week, but is from another state, so they weren't around for the local coverage.

BBM: That is not a certainty at all. Probable yes but so are any number of scenarios and for that .001% chance, I'd be happy to air my dirty laundry on tee vee.

Trouble is, his parents have so much dirty laundry, it could end up deflecting attention away from Dylan.

I think it's silly to think them going on the show is going to help Dr Phil's ratings in any way.

MR stated early on that he thought it was likely that Dylan was abducted and out of the area. What if he's right? What if Dylan is alive somewhere? It's not worth it to get his name and face out there on the chance that this is possible? Do you feel the billboards are pointless too? And the fliers?

So what's a parent to do? Give up?

Why iPod and not phone?

Logically, I believe you are absolutely correct. But if it were my child I would grasp at any straw and be grateful for the opportunity, which she seems to be. There also maybe various other reasons she feels is important to do this show.
