I'm still stuck on the family friend. I wish I could come up with a theory that fit better so I could actually discuss it a bit more. Oh well, such is life. MOO
<modsnip>
I believe that if/when the truth is known, the "suspicious coincidences" will all disappear and it will all make perfect sense. MOO
What is SM??? I've been seeing that term and I'm not sure in what text it's being used. TIA.
Social media. I was about to ask a couple of days back when it finally popped into my head.
I use the thanks button and half the time it doesn't register, even when I refresh several times. I tried to thank you for answering my question. It makes sense. I just couldn't for the life of me figure it out.![]()
I feel that the most likely way an abduction could have happened from the home would be one where he was lured by someone. Mainly because all of his things are gone, and there was no signs of struggle, no muss ,no noise.
If he were taken from home, I lean towards a creepy neighbor, a family 'friend', a co-worker of MR, or like the father of one of D's friends ---someone known to him, that could lure him to voluntarily get in the vehicle. JMO
No the murders were about 10 months apart.
I still can't figure out why he agreed to do it unless it was to shut them all up, but then he should have realized that wasn't going to happened based on everything else he's done that they wanted him to do didn't shut them up. IMO, JMO
I know that I am projecting here. Since I was married for more than 20 years to a man who was emotionally abusive and always, always just on the edge of physical abuse. He was charismatic, only a few could see through the facade. Even my own sister thought I was exaggerating when I told her I was afraid he would snap someday. He could never harm a soul in her eyes. I walked on eggshells during the marriage and tiptoed out of it. Somewhat proud of myself to make it out alive. Two months later, he had broken my 12 year old's collarbone. No one was there to stand between them. There was an underlying rage that he had no self control over. Who knows if he could have stopped himself. Thankfully, my older son was there. His second wife did not tiptoe. When she filed for divorce, he broke her house up. She locked herself in a room, she must have been terrified. Who knows what would have happened , if the police hadn't come sirens blaring. I believe ER and I believe AZGRANDMA when they say MR could be capable of harming DR. That does not prove he did. But I believe them that it is possible. I also believe it is important to listen to them, and take the possibility into account.
Interesting aside...people love to "inject" themselves into LE investigation's every day. They sometimes want their 15 minutes of fame, some of them have mental issues, some people do it to profit from the victim family members, some people even confess to crimes they didn't commit...on and on. Sometimes "tips" are called in by unscrupulous people for various nefarious reasons. LE is aware of this.
YW I'd been reading it for weeks stubbornly trying to figure out what the heck it stood for. I knew in the context people were talking about facebook or so it seemed. I was just about to break down and ask when I happen to hear "social media" on TV, and I said Ohhhhhh. But then I read on forums for about five years before I found out what ITA meant![]()
Women can definitely be verbally and physically abusive. I'm watching it now with my own eyes with a family member. The husband is well educated, good looking, soft spoken, despises violence of any type, is an excellent father. Has never lost his temper or being a physical altercation with another peer.
His wife put him down, controlled him, made all the decisions in the family, ignored his family, and they did everything with her family. She lied to him about paying the bills, spending money, all sorts of things. He did all the yard work, most of the house work, took care of all the kids, even while she was around. She'd play on the computer and bark orders at him to do things with and for the kids.
He finally had enough and filed for divorce. Twice now she has gone to where he was staying and started pushing him and slapping him and hitting on him. He won't lay a hand on her. She's picked up knives and thrown them close to him. Then she picks up a knife and puts it in her pocket and declares she's going to leave and go kill herself. This guy hates confrontation, but that's all it's been with her.
Some women are nags, act superior to their husbands, talk garbage about them all the time, lie, complain, and treat their men like one of their children. They never shut up. IMO, JMO, MOO
I don't believe Dr. Phil shows are posted anywhere on line (it's a no-no on youtube). I believe you can buy a dvd from his website.
No, it does not work that way. They make the guests sign RELEASE Forms before they tape the show. And even if it is a 2 day show, it was all taped in one day.
So there is no way for anyone to 'refuse' to do the show, because it is already done, way before it airs. It's a done deal, and none of them know what the editing will look like until it airs. That makes a huge difference. The producers can make any of them look guilty or innocent or clueless or whatever they want.
Unless LE receives a viable lead in Dylan's case and shares that lead with the public, I cannot move away from the last person to see Dylan. And, yes, that person is Mark. The man that only saw his child very little in the 3 or so previous years; the man that was he?? bent on making his ex-wives and children's lifes miserable.
LE has got to give me some other evidence pointing away from Mark. Until then, I have my eyes on Mark.
I don't quite agree with ER being made to pay child support to MR. Ridiculous. IIRC Mark said he was saving money for Dylan's college. Some people have implied this is a lie. This is something I would like to see proven. Maybe MR was saving the child support as Dylan's college fund? I think it is important to prove Mark is lying. It is easy to call someone a liar but people are more likely to believe what is being said when provided proof.
Have we heard from Mark regarding why he didn't see Dylan much? In my opinion, it is possible MR's type of employment interfered with his relationship with Dylan. Especially if MR worked out of state and was gone for long periods at a time. Maybe time w/Dylan was only feasible during vacation time. This would have been a good question for the DP show.
In my opinion, supplying proof to some of the hearsay about MR would help put a lot of questions about Mark to rest.
I thought MR has a lawyer and if he does I can't for the life of me understand why he didn't tell MR not to do the show.
How would one come to the conclusion that a man is capable of murdering his own child unless he has already done something to hurt one of them badly in the past? Has he ever killed anyone before or even threatened to kill one of his children? Has he beat and/or tortured one of them seriously enough to need medical attention?
It would be interesting to know how any one could believe that without something to back it up.
