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

Combined with her "statement" (if you want to call it that) about the lie detector on NG, I think that says a lot about HER character and personality.

She displayed a lot of interest in knowing exactly when Dylan arrived in Durango.

Just sayin'.

I'm telling you what my friends! If this were my kid, LE. Said they had nothing confirmed about where he went once he landed at the airport, I would be screaming mimis!

I don't know what it says about her character or personality, and I don't know why it's relevant to Dylan being missing. I honestly believe she was trying to NOT answer the question regarding MR lie detector, and it came off as a jumbled mess. And based on the fact that if she was truly just out to bash her ex, the NG show would have been the perfect platform and opportunity for her to do so. She didn't do that at all IMO. I don't know why some people think she's somehow trying to hinder the search for her son. I just don't see it. And for what it's worth, I am still on the fence with the whole thing, so it's not like I'm defending the mom because I think dad is guilty of something. MOO

I didn't see NG, just reading the past 20 pages of the last thread and comments about it, but it was mentioned that she sort of skated around the issue of Dad's poly, first saying she didn't know whether he took one, then she didn't know whether he passed or not, then she thought it was inconclusive, and then he was asked, or may be, to take another one. All she would have to do is say "I can't comment on that." Doesn't matter if NG continued to ask her the same question 10 times, she could have said "no comment." Period.

Also, would like to comment on the issue of child abuse. I don't know CO's laws, but here, not putting a seat belt on a child is child neglect, not child abuse. Letting them ride in the back of a pickup is child endangerment. I can't list all the examples of child abuse, but I believe emotional abuse falls under that heading. He could have been verbally abusive, as in cursing the child or calling him ugly names. But if it was actual child abuse, I don't think those charges would be dropped, unless there was no documentation or pictures to prove it.

Just saying.

The fact that Dylan had an older flip-phone could explain why Dylan's phone had no activity after Sunday. Those batteries don't last forever when there's heavy usage. My daughter even managed to fry 2 batteries on a Droid in less than 9 months.

And, just following this train of thought, she would not e-mail her friends because that's just not something she and her friends do. Half the time, she can't even remember her e-mail addy without logging onto her laptop to look it up.

And, as far as using 411 on a landline to get a phone #, I don't believe she is even aware of it. (I guess I should tell her about it)

 

[Bravo]

Has that been stated? I got the impression that Dylan sent a text to his mom when he landed and was still on the plane (like most people he turned on his cell phone as soon as the plane was on the tarmac.) It would have taken him a few minutes to get off the plane and meet his dad at arrivals.

Not verbatim but Mom stated Dylan text said he arrived safe and was with his Dad

 

[Tonto]

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.

Our cheapo flip phone lasts 5x as long during heavy usage than any Droid I've ever had.

If the computer was off and required a login like most computers do, Dylan may not have been able to use it.

But wouldnt Dad have told him how he could log on in case he wanted to go online? Would he expect to leave a 13yr old alone all morning, and not let him use the computer?

 

[Seajay]

I'm having a heck of a time keeping up. I don't know how the mods do it and find all the TOS issues, have time to correct them and find new info on the case to post it for us. My hat is off to the mods here at WS. I commend you on a job well done.

 

[OneLove]

I know it has been said that Mark did not see Dylan often when he was still living in the local area, but nowhere has that been quantified. Does anyone know about how much they saw each other? These things can be relative; what one person believes to be infrequent another might view as often. I have no idea what the picture really was.

 

[mck16]

He was there in September. LE may have his phone records and computer information from then.

It's probably should have been one of the first things he wanted to do when he got there (to talk to his friends via FB or whatever).....since some think his phone may have been dead around 8 pm...

He was a techo-savy kid.

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

 

[Salem]

I noticed nothing was addressed on NG about the original plans being for Dylan to spend the night with his friends instead of his father. I also noticed I knew more about the case by being here than NG knew going into it.

This was not my interpretation of MR's comments, but maybe I missed a follow up interview? My understanding was that MR and Dylan tentatively agreed that Dylan would hang with his friends Mon & Tues (not spend the night) and Wed. Dad, Dylan and Dylan's friends would some sort of organized activity and Thurs. Dad and Dylan would spend together - but had not finalized just what they would do.

But I thought Dad was just saying Dylan would hang with his friends those 1st two days, but not necessarily spend the night. Where did the spending the night come from, or is that just a different interpretation (which is fine)?

Depends. Dad may have set up an account for him in September (his own login + password) but Dylan forgot the password in the meantime and couldn't log in. Or he may have needed to reset the computer but forgotten to give him a new account. If Dad was out of the house by the time Dylan realized this, it would have been too late.

Hubby still has a flip phone. It's a pain in the neck to text on those things. You have to hit the button you want three times sometimes to get one letter. That's why I got a smart phone. Hubby refuses to text on his flip phone.

My 14 year old hardly ever uses Facebook, ALL the teens here oovoo or kik or Skype

 

[katydid23]

Just saw NG again and I was wrong in the last thread. The menacing guilty plea was from 1988. So that was a very long time ago. The theft guilty plea was from 1992.

A bunch of charges dismissed in 2003 but he plead guilty to disorderly conduct/unreasonable noise.

So IMO nothing obviously seriously pertinent in his record.

But he was originally charged with child abuse and menacing. how does someone get charged with menacing TWICE in their lives? I don't think I know anyone who has ever been charged with that. It seems suspicious , imo.

Why wouldn't he plug the phone in and charge it? It was one of his only means to contact his friends.

She said she was awarded sole (primary) 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.

He didn't have to go back to court to "even receive visitation", IMO. It was part of the decision on Sept. 21, 2012. IMO.

so there was zero court involvement when she moved in the summer?..why change of custody months after she had moved?..I thought the whole change of custody was due to mom wanting to move 5 hours away.

That all sort of blown out of proportion, iMO. here's the onscreen "report" that NG show put up. Our wonderful poster took screenshot.

There seems to be 4 FB accounts he was connected with.

 

[scorekeeper]

I think the reason the errands were reported as confirmed was because the LE chief was on NG and she asked him about them. Was anyone from LE on her show tonight? tia

Not local LE that I saw. She may have asked them to appear; their schedule may not have permitted them to appear. I can't answer for LE.

But with all the great reporters (insert name:blushing in the area, I'm sure that question has been asked of LE
