CO- Dylan Redwine, 13, Vallecito, 19 November 2012 - #8

[TexasCharm]

Going out on a limb here.

I look at dad's picture and I do not see it.

I do not feel in my heart of hearts that this man would bring harm to his son. He seems as though he would however miss his son very much, hence the court request be with him on one of the two big holidays of the Christmas Season.

I just don't see the typical TYPE-A controlling personality that would typically be associated with harming a child. To me he just looks like a dad that misses his Son.
I was out there with the rest of you from the beginning and based on what I have learned, Dad is just one unlucky guy!

I hope I am right...I hope Dylan comes home soon.

I am praying for Dylan all day and all night.

I guess this is what has me still firmly planted on the fence.

Other TYPE A type killers are OUT THERE and IN YOUR FACE with LE and the media .. not shy, willing to talk, TOO MUCH .. almost taunting .. etc.

I don't see this.

Of course, we don't know him and have barely seen enough of him to form a valid opinion .. but I'm struggling with him as a killer .. especially one that planned this and did away with Dylan before they even got home.. as some have suggested.

Where in the heck is that kid??

Mark Redwine says he remains puzzled why his son Dylan would try to walk to a friend’s house because the terrain is rugged where he lives and the house is a few miles away.

<modsnip>

Mark Redwine said he would like to meet with his ex-wife but so far has not had success beyond the text messages.

&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to have dinner with her and become buddy, buddy, but as parents of a missing child, people need to know that we can put our differences aside and that we want our son back,&#8221; he said.

There have been multitudes of things the father has said that alarm me. The biggest is being SO insistent about the lake.

Did he bother to drive the 4 miles down the road to the lake to see if Dylan was fishing BEFORE he drove the 20 miles to his friend's house looking for him?

I only heard him mention the lake in the one interview, but I've read it here hundreds of times, does that mean those of us who mentioned it are also acting suspiciously? If that's where Dylan normally fished, when he fished, and his fishing pole was gone, why wouldn't he wonder if he had gone there?

I thought he said he had looked around for him, but I'm not sure if it was before or after going to the friend's house.

I think this is the best thing he's said so far!

Okay, I think there are 3 possibilities of what could have happened.

1. Dad did something with him.
2. Something happened when he walked to go fishing/friends house or hitch hiking
3. Did meet with friends and something happened there. Accident - who knows.

If #1 is true, then I think this is where it all began -

Dylan had asked his father whether he could go to his friends' that evening after they had shopped at Walmart and eaten at a McDonald's in Durango and before the 45-minute drive to Mark's home north of Vallecito Lake. Mark said he told his son it was too late. So Dylan texted friends in Bayfield, his father said, and made arrangements to meet them the next morning.

He HAS to drive by the lake to get to well ... anywhere. Where dad lives and where mom lived (near Bayfield proper) is all called "Bayfield". Where exactly the different friend's lived is unknown to me.

Here's a map again of where dad lives and the drive to the City of Bayfield. HTH

[Bravo]

I would like to ask MR why he didn't answer his Ex's or Corys texts in the very beginning. It seems they wanted to communicate with him over Dylan.

Mark Redwine said he is talking with media because he wants to keep people searching for Dylan.

“My focus is to try to keep Dylan in the limelight here and remind people that we are looking for a 13-year-old,” he said. “I know the focus is on me. I know this is a story that is grabbing national attention, but I don’t want people to forget about Dylan.”

<more snipping>

“We all met together in a private room and sat down and talked. I haven’t heard from Cory for three days,” Mark Redwine said. “I think he’s struggling like we all are. I know he’s closer to his brother and to his mom than to me. We were trying to get our emotions out on the table and focus on finding Dylan.”

Mark Redwine said he would like to meet with his ex-wife but so far has not had success beyond the text messages.

As I posted yesterday, MR has really done a 180 since the first week of declining interviews, closing the doors on reporters and telling the media he has nothing to say, "just prefers to let LE do their job."

I'm sure everyone can put their own spin on this depending on your assessment of MR and the facts so far. Maybe he didn't think Dylan would be missing this long or the story would become so big (or stay this big), maybe he's just adjusting to the situation and realizing silence doesn't work for him, it's not going to help Dylan, etc. etc. etc. and so on.

Whatever his motivations, he has seriously done an about face with how public he's become.

 

[Nolita]

whats your theory Nolita?

I don't have a theory yet & I won't until we have more info. I was never one to automatically place blame on the last person to see a missing person.

Yeah, I would expect he'd really REALLY like the world at large to see Elaine supporting him right now. I notice that he said "people" need to know, not that "WE need to set our differences aside. Small differences in wording make a huge difference in intent.

Btw, I notice those things because I was trained in neurolinguistics and used it in a professional capacity in the 90s.

 

[Wendy101]

So, where was mom when Dylan vanished from the fathers home that morning?

Is it true Dad failed a poly?

 

[jdmyangel]

popping in every once in awhile with thoughts---this is all just my speculation and opinions--as for the fishing pole--i am not sure i even believe DR has it--maybe he does--but i look at that scenario more as MR getting home after realizing DR is missing and maybe they (MR and DR) fished together at his sept visit and that was just something he now noticed missing--maybe it has (the fishing pole) gone for awhile

as for the cell phone--maybe it did just stop in battery at night and MR was going to sleep so did nothing with it--maybe MR got up the next morning was going to use it and it didnt work at all (bad battery, or dropped or something) so maybe he decided to walk to a nearby store or something to get a "cheaper" phone to use for now maybe he was walking there--then heading to his friends house--hence brought his backpack--or maybe he had a little money in his back pack and just grabbed the whole thing

just general thoughts and my opinion

Call the NG show! They're taking calls RIGHT NOW!!! ;-)

When asked about Misty passing her LDT, LE said that the only way anything would be said about that was if SHE were to say it. They don't release that information. I haven't seen where MR has stated that he 'failed' one.

 

[OtherEyes]

WS'ers should call and flood her show with relevent, intelligent questions...

ones that we've beaten to the ground over and over here...

(no offense to some of her callers but they often ask very unrelated questions... whether that's what the NG staffers choose to put on the air, I don't know)

It's probably our best shot at getting answers...

Maybe Sgt Bender will be joining NG.

Yes mom is currently answering questions on NG. (She sounds so exhausted, as expected.)
Nancy took my question about what 9news aired over the weekend about judge issued protective orders. The questioned was answered, but will wait until you all hear it to talk further about that.

Please oh please can someone transcribe this when it is on since I currently don't have cable and I can't seem to watch her show live? TIA

I could never get thru. I'm not Sheeba from Illinois :floorlaugh:

It struck me the same way. Thank you for articulating it.

The quote function doesn't seem to be working properly. I was quoting OneLove.

I think the people he's talking about are CR and DR personally.

It might perhaps have something to do with the context of this...

“My focus is to try to keep Dylan in the limelight here and remind people that we are looking for a 13-year-old,” he said. “I know the focus is on me. I know this is a story that is grabbing national attention, but I don’t want people to forget about Dylan.”

...and I do believe that we here at WS discussed at length how MR and ER "should" unite on this.

Just a thought.
