It could also be a dead animal, right?

I think the dog handlers and a billion posts on previous threads have made it clear that the dogs know the difference in human and animal decomposition....... which is not a word I should have typed just then

Oh Redux, I didnt mean that to sound ugly. I'm sorry if it did ! I asked just a couple of days ago if the smell might be
animal and was reminded how many times it's been covered that they know the difference.

Thanks Schmae, I thought I had read that they couldn't differentiate somewhere, but it makes more sense that they could tell the difference.

Thank God I work alone, sitting here crying my eyes out.

That's okay Schmae. I've tried to keep up with the threads, but they just move too fast! I'd seen the question asked before, then someone posts a "definitive" answer, then someone comes along and says that's not correct...lol....so I wasn't sure what to believe.

:hug:

Just remember, it may not be Dylan.

I hope that whoever it is, or whatever the source is, they can figure it out soon rather than waiting for Spring. lease:

ETA: I just lit another candle for Dylan and one for his family. It's a silly thing maybe, but it helps me re-channel fear into hope.

HRD dogs don't hit on animals they are trained for human cadaver scent.

Thanks for the hug Tennlyn.

After watching the DP show and looking at past interviews and reports, I have been thinking more about the lake possibility. Here's why...

Mark specifically mentioned that DR's fishing pole was missing when he was. ER says DR wasn't interested in fishing, and I think many of us believe that DR's number one priority was to visit his friends, not going fishing &#8211; especially alone.

Claiming that the pole went missing at the same time as DR did is a likely setup to claim that he drowned after going fishing alone.

I hope it's not true, but it's all too coincidental and contrary to both his behavior of being in constant contact with his friends, and ER's mention on the show that DR wasn't interested or experienced fishing.

Someone that is deceased is in that lake. Any other missing people from the area?

TES should be called immediately.

Prayers to azgrandma, Elaine, Mike, Cory and their family and friends. Help this family find their loved one. (((Dylan)))

((((hugs)))) to all of us.

From what I recall there are no known missing persons from that area, however, the family points out in the FB post that there are lots of homeless around that particular area, who wouldn't be reported as missing. So it could be a homeless person.

That said, I haven't much hope that it isn't Dylan. :candle:

For almost the whole time Dylan has been missing, I've believed that there just wasn't enough evidence to point to MR being involved. Yes, there's been some hinky things with the night before he went missing and things that MR has said that can't be easily explained, but sometimes life is stranger than fiction.

But I don't believe that anymore. The last week or so I've been watching more of what MR has said and what he has left unsaid, and it has totally swayed me to believing he knows exactly what has happened to Dylan.

It is so hard to keep up with which thread is which tread at the moment . It the poor family I feel for as it could be months before they know anything . So it just drags on for them

Well I wonder and I'm betting someone has a link to just this point. If the dogs have picked up a scent at this eastern/ 5 branches area of the lake, does that mean a body could be anywhere in that giant huge lake? Did they only pick up the scent there because taht is where they cut a HOLE and the dogs smelled the entire lake through that hole? OR does a body need to be somewhere near that hole, say 50 or 100 meters , to be sniffable from that location? The lake is just so big that I dont' know if you could ever say for certain it was searched well enough to say something is or is not in it ,even in spring.

This is a comment in MSM from the first cadaver dog search -

The dogs are trained to distinguish between human remains and animal remains, according to handlers Rae Dreves and Katie Steelman, both of Durango. Their dogs are Selah and Darc, respectively.

The third dog on the search, Cayenne, is handled by Roy Vreeland of Bayfield.

Once the dogs are trained for land-based cadaver searches, they can then be trained for water searches, the handlers said.

Good question. Ugh, that would be terrible if they can't narrow down the area.

The more I think about it, the more I think that the scent wouldn't radiate out to the whole lake, it would be confined to a certain perimeter around the body (although it could be a large perimiter, IDK). Remember how the dogs in the boat hit upon certain spots back in November? If it radiated out to the whole lake, they would have hit upon it starting at the shore line, right?

 

[Money Girl]

Nope and not one that will be solved

I wonder what is next for the family and if this will mean more media outlets will want them on other shows as they have to keep moving forward .

They need to go to mediation as MR suggested.

did Mark ever set up the appointment?

Since I don't know MR personally, I have no idea.

 

[DylansMom34]

I'm not sure what mediation might accomplish at this point?
