Dylan Redwine Case Discussion Thread/Dylan's Remains Found, #2

[princessk]

I am still dumbfounded that Mark has not professed guilt at all. He was the one responsible for Dylan. If Dylan REALLY left the house the next morning, I would think he would feel tremendous guilt for leaving him at home by himself. I have not heard one inkling of remorse from him, which leads me to believe something here is just not right.

Now that Dylan's remains are found, why is isn't MR focusing on justice??? No quote, but didn't he say something to the effect he was going to try & contact his Mom to get a proper burial?

What has Elaine said so far about bringing the perpetrator to justice? Has she made an announcement about Dylan's burial?

She did make a statement about the need to find the monster, whoever it may be. Will look for quote.

As for a burial, I am not sure they have any idea of when his remains might be released.

Hello everyone. I've been staying quiet and lurking on Dylan's forums for a couple of weeks, but I felt compelled to join in tonight and want to say that I agree with you Dee10.

IMO, all of MR's strange behavior and comments made to the media seem to be somewhat incriminating, but what really stands out to me is the fact that MR is not demanding justice for Dylan. If he has had nothing to do with Dylan's disappearance and death, then why doesn't he seem interested in finding the person who did? I just can't wrap my head around this!

All of this, of course, is MOO. :moo:

DENVER—The mother of Dylan Redwine says whoever killed her 13-year-old son was a monster for leaving his remains where wildlife could get to them.
Elaine Redwine tells KUSA-TV ( http://on9news.tv/15WAmft) that Dylan's bones were spread out when they were found in the southwestern Colorado mountains. She said "he deserved so much more.

I've had a couple of thoughts while reading about this heartbreaking loss of a beautiful life.

I agree that MR comes across as self-centered and defensive. I have to keep telling myself that people can come across this way without being murderers. Some people are apparently incapable of expressing emotions like sadness, joy, and disappointment. It doesn't mean they don't feel them though.

It seems to me that MR is "acting" in his latest interviews, mimicking how he thinks he should sound, trying to sound genuinely sad and referring to DR in the present tense, after DR's remains were found. Yet MR talked about DR in the past tense in early interviews and on the DP show. And posters mentioned this in the comments after the videos on Youtube. I personally think that MR reads what people say about him, including here on WS and on the FB pages. Whether or not he's guilty, I think he cares what people think of him.

It's sad to see MR and ER continuing to hurt each other when there's already way more than enough pain to go around.

Also an observation about texting ... has anyone else considered that DR's texts, especially the final ones, could have been sent by someone other than DR? This would open up a new time frame.

Thanks. So it's fair to say that it's premature to criticize anyone for failing to make burial arrangements at this time.

Yes I agree. Elaine said that since Dylan can no longer speak for himself that her goal is to find the monster who did this to him (paraphrasing). MR discusses what percentage of Dylan's body was found and that this is the most peace he has found since Dylan went missing (paraphrasing).

If I learned my child was dead... Justice would be the last thing on my mind. I'd want to lay down and die. I wouldn't be talking to anyone.

But he's not doing that either... He's yapping away deflecting and making himself out to be the victim. IMO

Sounds to me like you're describing psychopathic behavior. Certainly something to think about. IMO

Which behavior do you feel is psychopathic?

 

[cluciano63]

I try to tell myself, whether the murderer is MR or someone else, LE went up to that particular spot for a reason and I believe they had evidence leading them to it. The area where Dylan vanished is too vast for LE to have happened upon his remains during a well-organized search where they made sure to have multiple agencies on hand or on call. They knew he was most likely there. So, IMO, they are finalizing a case against someone.

 

[Linda7NJ]

Which behavior do you feel is psychopathic?

Self centered, narcissistic, incapable of exhibiting appropriate emotional responses, learning to mimic them, overly concerned how others view him. To name just a few. All IMO

Yes, I wonder about this too. I'm a mother myself, and I don't know how I could go on after losing my child and in such a tragic way. I also know that I would want the creature who committed such a heinous thing to pay. Maybe this search for justice is how parents of murdered children find the strength to continue. It becomes their purpose in life to get justice for their child. IMO

I think you're right.

I just don't think Id care much about anything at that point. Perhaps it's a defense mechanism that kicks in?

 

[finder108]

This is my first post on this topic, although I think of this heartbreaking loss of DR's life every day and can't imagine what his family is going through. I want to wrap his hurting family in love and peace.

ER and MR both have emotions running very high and react differently ... it seems that MR says these things on purpose, like how only 2% of DR's remains were found and the rest of him is strewn across the mountainside (that would be like a stab in ER's heart IMO). And then I think MR said that he feels peaceful knowing that DR is up there on the mountain. But it's not supposed to just be about MR's feelings, it's supposed to be about helping each other through this and preventing the killer from attacking anyone else.

I see MR as coming across as self-centred and defensive. His apparent inability to express feelings like sadness and joy doesn't mean that he doesn't have these feelings. This is not uncommon. Everything gets pent up and comes out as rage (in my past experience living with such a person). I have to keep telling myself that this doesn't automatically make him a murderer.

I've noticed that in recent interviews, since DR's remains have been found, MR has been talking about DR in the present tense. Yet in early interviews and on the DP show, MR referred to DR in the past tense. Many people commented on it. This leads me to speculate that MR reads the comments on Youtube after the videos and likely reads this WS forum and also the FB pages. MR's latest interview that I listened to almost sounded scripted and he sounded like he was trying to sound sad. This makes me think that MR cares about his public image.

Another observation ... who's to say that DR's final text messages were sent by DR and not by someone else? I've actually been astonished that none of the sleuthers on here have already picked up on this. It's the main reason I'm posting. It would open up a new time frame.

Just a guess, but I think FBI profiling played a some kind of part; perhaps with previous background? Maybe as Teresa mentioned about what you can see from the front door or at walking that distance? It is interesting that Mark was steering away from that area. Something led LE to keep on that area & not going back to the lake.

That is so true.

 

[Tink56]

It is reported in the following article that MR met with LE on Monday...
http://www.krqe.com/dpp/news/local/central/dylan-redwines-dad-met-with-investigators

I'm responding to my own post...LOL..sigh...

I must be behind the information curve. Can someone help me catch up. Didn't Mark himself say he was meeting with LE on Tuesday? Then, there was a "rumor" that LE cancelled the Tuesday meeting.

Did anyone else say anything about MR's meeting.

I'll go back to my corner now...just wondering.

I definitely feel like they want to make sure they have enough ducks and that they are all in a row. I think LE will wait until they have an iron clad case against the perpetrator before they do anything, hence why they went back up the mountain to continue the search for whatever they can find.
