CO- Dylan Redwine, 13, Vallecito, 19 November 2012 - #9

[PaulR]

you dont remember your moms number?? :what:

Not the cell! I only remember the landline because it's the same number as when I was a kid, and have been dialing it since I left for college.

 

[katydid23]

Judging by the clear and continuous hostilities between the parents, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Dylan used this opportunity to get away from both of them.

In all of his videos he looks like a very happy kid. And he was extremely close to his big brother. I see no reason that he would have run off. jmo

 

[scorekeeper]

Was Dylan on Facebook? I can't remember. tia

I think so but I'm not :floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

So can someone please answer.....TIA

How far is the airport from the walmart?
Also men are not like women, SORRY GIRLS , you know it's true.
A man wants to go to walmart , he will go , grab what he needs
and get out of there in 10 minutes, especially at 8 on a sunday
night . It was probably fairly slow in there. It's women who
want to browse about and hit every aisle and make walmart a
2 hr expedition

You don't know my husband! We were there over an hour yesterday. He wound up buying a birdfeeder, seed, suet, looking at the latest Christmas stuff, checking for some sort of window insulation, and then finally we got to the grocery section. I used to be an Olympic shopper, but I met my match!

Oh, and after we finally checked out, I remembered the one item I needed: paper plates. I had to run back for them.

Before I go to bed I find it really unsettling that so many people have no idea how to get ahold of someone if their cell phones are dead. Its freaking me out. :seeya:

Nevemind about when the custody was awarded I now see it was sept 21 and dad was unhappy that the court awarded mom the sole custody and the he received court ordered visitation.. Duh..what does he expect when the child lives with mom regardless of where and he travels for a living..seems to me that would be the only fair and just custody decision by the courts in the best interest of the child.. No surprise there..jmo.

 

[dlc]

For some odd reason he has two. One "friended" the other. Odd to me.

I believe that was a turn of phrase, not a literal description.

My response was supposed to be to Paul R.'s question about the "smoking phone."

I don't have a clue how I got this quote. Sorry Ransom.

She said she was awarded sole custody of Dylan on Sept. 21. Previously she and Mark Redwine had shared custody. On Nov. 18, Dylan flew here for his first visit with his father since that court decision, Elaine said.

I added the emphasis. That court decision was Sept. 21, 2012 in Durango (home turf of the divorce since 2007).

Yes, I saw you linked this previously. Not what I was referencing, but thanks.

 

[TxLady2]

You need to link this up, please. My understanding is that recent court activity was related to Mom's moving Dylan away and Dad's ensuring that he would have visitation.

Thanks,

Salem

Thanks. It would be kind of hard to manage shared custody when the parents live 5 hours from each other.

This may be irrelevant but I remember a discussion on some other thread a few years ago. My idea of shared custody was that it was like 50/50, the child lived half the year with one parent and half with the other. But then some nice posters attempted to correct me on that and said it was also called shared custody when one parent had the child every other weekend and on certain holidays. I guess technically they could be right, but I'm terribly outdated. To me, that means one has primary custody and the other has visitation. I would think sole custody would mean the child lives with one parent and the other is not even in the picture.

So I don't know what is right. But it very much sounds to me like the custody agreement was changed due to the mom moving so far away, and that dad did not have to "fight" for his visitation, but simply went to court to assure that the visitation schedule was worked out and agreed on. It could be there was no fighting involved except between the lawyers.

 

[jennapuppy]

Curiously I could swear ER said ' the last 3 years' regarding dad's visitation with Dylan. Something like he didnt' see him a whole lot the last 3 years. So if the divorce was done 6 or 7 yrs ago , I wonder why she would say that. Perhaps the first few years after divorce dad DID see him bi weekly and then it tapered off . Or maybe he didn't see him at all during that time. It was a curious statement and I almost wonder if it was a mistake and she meant to say 6 years.

From another interview somewhere, it was stated that MR had changed jobs and was away from home for periods of time (driving a truck or something), and that was why he hadn't seen Dylan as much in the past 3 years.

I think I read that on the last thread.

 

[OneLove]

It has been said that MR's criminal charges were 'overblown' and that is possible. But let's keep in mind that it could swing the other way also, <modsnip>. I wouldn't assume these charges were child's play.

Here at WS, over time, we sure have seen a lot of people that had lots of charges dropped, expunged, plead down, etc and then when they commit a MAJOR crime, we ask why they were on the streets.

 

[scorekeeper]

Surely he would have told his dad? Especially if it happened Sunday evening, he probably would have been frantic. What if it did, in fact, blow up and he wanted to return to Walmart to get a replacement and it turned into an argument, I wonder. If his mother is correct, and there is no reason to doubt it, he was very attached to using his phone.

why not use dad's phone? what parent wouldn't let their child use their phone if something happened to the kid's phone?

 

[katydid23]

Mom said that the phone was physically "smoking", so it may have died on the trip.

He only texted a couple of people, then turned to cell off. If it had 'smoked' that night and died, then dad would have known, imo. And they probably would have gone the next morning to get a new battery or a cheap replcement, because I doubt that dad would have wanted him to be without a cell during the trip.

I didn't care if my middle schoolers had cells for social purposes, but I NEEDED them to have one for my own purposes. I needed to be able to keep some kind of tabs on them and needed them to be able to reach out for rides and or help etc.

 

[kalekona]

I'm going to go ahead and "assume" that probably everyone on this thread is pretty big on internet safety and monitor their children's activity while online, yet so many are complaining that Dylan didn't get on the computer while his Dad was out of the house..

I have no idea if this father is responsible for whatever has happened to Dylan but it is crystal clear that there are plenty of people stretching every tiny thing into proof that he did.

THere is NO McDonalds inside the Walmart in Durango....the closest one is further into town

Dylan Redwine, who hasn’t been seen since November 19, vanished while visiting his father for the Thanksgiving holiday in Vallecito.

Investigators believe Dylan is not a runaway and could be the victim of an abduction.

His mother appeared on CNN’s “Nancy Grace” Monday night and claimed that she believed a polygraph test taken by her ex-husband, Dylan’s father, came back inclusive.

Investigators will not confirm if either parent has taken a polygraph test, but told FOX31 Denver both parents have been cooperative. Investigators have said numerous times Mark Redwine is not a suspect.

Mark Redwine said he was “surprised” when asked about the CNN interview.

He declined to talk specifics on the investigation because he said he didn’t want to get into a public fight with his estranged wife.

BBM = I think we should remember this.:twocents: :twocents:

This one friended the one above and is much newer and still adding friends. THAT is what I think is odd. Someone made a new one for Dylan. That's all I'm saying.

His friends, mom, dad, and LE all seem to agree he didn't run away. MOO

Dylan wouldn't have run away: He was too happy, his father said

If you use your cell phone to make phone calls and so store phone numbers on it, and it dies on you, you probably don't remember the number.

I have a bunch of numbers on my cell (SO, parent's cell) and couldn't for the life of me know what they were if someone happened to my cell.

That's what Dylans charger would have been for..the phone was in fine working order and the child was an avid texter, and extremely tech savvy.. Moo there is no way to explain away that there has been zero use of his cell..nor the fact that le states they have no verification of him being seen since Sunday night..

Huge issues that no excuses can explain away..jmo.
