ColdHands - Those of us following the case from the beginning have, I think, learned a lot over the past six months. You're correct in saying that the core fact, that, over 6 months ago, Dylan Redwine disappeared within the first 24 hours of his visit with his father is unchanged.
However, let me provide just one example - In the early stages of the discussion here, people were speculating that the reason why Dylan was never heard from again after approximately 9:37 that first evening was because his cell phone broke. We now know, thanks to Mark Redwine's confirmation, as well as other sources, that wi-fi, a landline, an ipod, and a computer to which Dylan knew the password were all available for communication. This is an important fact, IMO, as it limits some sources of speculation.
I can think of at least 10 other things we now know as _fact_ that we did not know at the beginning of the case. People can, of course, dismiss them as they see fit -- seeing a conspiracy of sloppy reporters, incompetent LE, etc., etc., but many of them add up for me when taken in the aggregate. Though I will admit upfront that I am, in general, a supporter of, and believer in, the integrity of LE -- especially when you have agencies including the CBI and the Federal Bureau of Investigation working collaboratively. Of course we can argue about minutiae, and parse (!) sentences till the cows come home, but looked at from a perspective of distance, with all personalities removed, the path is narrowing, IMO.
Thank you.
