LE's last press release.........
An updated timeline for Dylan’s activities on Sunday November 18th has been released:
5:46PM Dylan arrived at Durango-La Plata airport.
7:05 PM Dylan at Durango Walmart
7:22 PM Dylan at Durango McDonalds
9:37PM Dylan’s last electronic device communication (texting)
The last person identified as having seen Dylan is his father, Mark Redwine.
Mr Redwine told investigators he saw Dylan at his Vallecito home early Monday morning, November 19th.
...........................................................................................................
Officially, this is all we have.
I only put up the transcript from MR and Tricia because that is the only mention I have ever seen of the possibility for pinging beyond the 9:37 pm activity. Take it for what it's worth, and consider the source (MR).
Sorry, if I caused some confusion. Thanks
So he did communicate with someone after he texted with his buddy back and forth. Interesting.
That just made me think ....... what if Dylan did actually get up to go with MR that morning - something could have happened before he used his phone. He was on track with his plans, so no need to be texting anyone, either at home, or along the route. I guess the battery could have died the night before, or he just fell asleep. If Dylan was taking all his stuff to his friends, then if something happened along the route, the backpack could be anywhere.
If we go along with the theories MR has, that Dylan went out that morning to kill a bit of time and got abducted, or someone came to the house and took him .... then the backpack should be in the house. There would be no need to hide it.
So, the only logical reason for the backpack not being at the house, are that something happened on the way back from the airport and Dylan never made it to the house ........... even though LE says that he did (are they trying to lull MR into a false sense of security to think they believe him?). Or Dylan took all his stuff with him Monday morning and whoever "took" him, dumped it somewhere else.
My opinion is that finding the backpack might unlock the answers - it would prove if Dylan ever opened it after ER packed it for a start.
All MOO
All MOO.
I think another logical option is that the dad, in haste to make it seem like Dylan took off on a long hike/fishing excursion or ran away, made sure his belongings went to.
IMO, what happened was not planned and the aftermath was not well thought out. I imagine a scenario in which a deep, simmering rage began since the September hearing and the judge's final decision, grew and festered with Dylan's subsequent lack of communication, climbed to a slow boil when the plane was delayed, and when faced with a sullen teen son who was clearly more interested in friends than dad, and was likely exacerbated by a swig it two of something strong along the way.
I think all of this could have culminated in a fiery confrontation in the living room and ended with a sudden and unintentionally fatal lashing out.
In the aftermath, I imagine a somewhat stunned but still angry dad standing there, running his fingers through his hair, lighting a smoke, and muttering a few more expletives at his now still son. I imagine him muttering, "serves you right...attitude...just like your mom." Then, "Oh come on. I didn't hit you that hard. Knock off the drama.". A few more puffs off the cigarette, pacing, staring. Then, as the rage turns to realization, that hour he earlier described trying to wake his motionless son.
After that, he would have to plan and quick. Whatever dumping likely occurred that night. He decided to make it seem that Dylan collected his things, a pole to catch fish, which is what kids in books like Tom Sawyer would do, and ran away. Later, when authorities ruled out a runaway scenario, it became a hike/fishing trek story. But now, the backpack and ALL of Dylans belongings being gone make less sense.
Actually, it doesn't have a built in GPS chip, but it can be used for maps/navigation etc with the right app. However, since it is only WiFi, you have to be connected to a hot spot for it to work. I don't think there would be any hotspots in that area of Middle Mountain Road, so no... it would likely not be of use at all.

We keep concentrating on Dylan's technology but dad had a phone too that night and I'm thinking IT may have pinged.
Hello amazing people. Been reading for several months. first post here & 1st forum ever! Hope this click works.
Have followed this terrible case <indepth>since DAY TWO. Studied too much, the mass of audio testimony of MR. Have learned new skill of watching head-shakes thanks to Dylan's dad.
I know the area from decade of living & hiking there. Left in 2011.
<modsnip>
I like many of you know similar deceptive shifting "blood boiling" personality of Dylan's dad.
Praying for resolution for all and swift process of justice for Dylan. Today would be great start.
Elaine and family deserve some independence from MR on independence day.
WELCOME to Websleuths!!!!
