Dylan Redwine Case Discussion Thread/Dylan's Remains Found

[ColdHands]

Warning - graphic discussion. If you are uncomfortable, please scroll past.

Where is the skull? IMO There's a reason skulls are generally found mostly intact and it's because they are not easily broken up. Even archaic discoveries generally include the skull, even a hundred thousand years later. An animal may fracture a bone to get at the marrow inside and in doing that digest some of it, but that seems less likely with a skull. The search team included archeologist and anthropologist who would know this also - would they have stopped searching "we found all we're going to find" without the skull?

I'm beginning to think it is possible that the searchers also found the skull but did not share that fact with anyone, including the parents. Just a gut feeling - IMO.

"This was an area that they'd wanted to search awhile back but they couldn't because of the snow," said Lt. Ray Shupe, a spokesman for the Durango Police Department. "The search wasn't based on any tips, it was just an area that needed to be looked at."

I thought yesterday some article said that LE would not discuss or answer WHY they searched that particular area . Does anyone remember that ?

I didn't read that, but I really hope it's true. I hope someone saw a vehicle driving up that mountain road the night Dylan disappeared.

That is kind of what I wondered. LE asked early on for video of any traffic around the nearby roadways and then never mentioned it again. The way that department runs and so quiet and guarded of their evidence, they would never have told us if 5 people came forward with clear video of a certain vehicle coming and going at an odd hour !

Are the cabins and campgrounds open on Middle Mountain Road in November?

I still dont feel any better today :banghead: "If" the person I suspect is responsible and all the game playing and words uttered publicly then I have no words. It's beyond cruel but this would be one of the worst :stormingmad:

"I sent him a text message saying 'Dylan and God know what happened.' And to whoever was involved, they'll pay the price," he said. "He hasn't responded to me at this time."----CR

I often find myself amazed at how much love we all have here at WS for victims we never even met. They affect us. Each case is different yet the same. Rest now, Dylan. Let justice be swift for you, sweet boy.

 

[lillygator]

oh no, this is not news I wanted to wake up to today.

IMO I think he was shown photos to see what kind of reaction he would show.

I am heartbroken - RIP Dylan....prayers for you Elaine and the rest of the family.

 

[Prado]

Damn, this still hasn't sunk in. I just came onto my laptop to check if there were any updates on Dylan and it hit me all over again.

First - while I had such a strong, unshakeable feeling all along that this would not end well, I was still shocked to read that Dylan was confirmed deceased.

Azgrandma and the family - all the sleuthers who've tirelessly followed/sleuthed/supported/searched.. you're all in my thoughts today, as well as of course poor Dylan, beautiful boy.

Lots of great questions raised on Tricia's radio show.

One I would like to ask is: did that fishing pole ever show up anywhere?

My daughter is only 14 and was gutted by this news. We talked about it today - she was comparing Dylan to her (first) sweetheart, who is just a little younger than she is, lovely kid.. they are so sweet and innocent (sorry, emotional at thought of losing a child, they are so close to Dylan's age...)

Anyway, she said Dylan sounded a lot like her sweetheart.. texting, lazy at getting up in the morning, wanting to see friends rather than family. These are her words:

"No way did Dylan get up early and walk up a mountain to the middle of nowhere with a stupid fishing pole. He's like (sweetheart's name) that way I reckon - he'd rather lie in bed and goof off or get driven around. No way did he walk into a forest, Mum. I'm a teenager and I know this stuff!"

Bless her. And really, I have to agree.

So sorry, dear boy, that your time here was so short. Rest in peace.

Did LE say they were going to continue searching the area for any further remains, or are they done?

Are the cabins and campgrounds open on Middle Mountain Road in November?

I zoomed in as close I could on google maps and went north up the whole road. There are a few homes at the very southern tip of the road nearest the lake but as far as I can tell there are NO Home and NO cabins within say a mile after the road begins. There may be designated camping areas, but there are no clearings that LOOK like a camping area and then it turns to forest service road, so I'm not sure anyone lives up there .

RIP Dylan



I think it's possible that the freezing conditions would preserve his body. They had snow in Colorado Springs and the area he was found well in to May this year which I have been told is not normal.

Just fyi,snow into May is not unusual here ... we usually get a storm or two. But the weather in CO Spgs and SW CO is very different. SW CO had an early spring, and it has been very dry all year there. It's probable that the road was accessible much earlier than usual. (and later into November/December as well, because it was fairly warm during fall) No point to that, just information.

There is a huge wildfire burning in SW CO, but it's northeast of Vallecito, maybe 100 mi. The entire area is a tinderbox, and I'm so glad nothing burned in this area so that they could find at least a few clues, and provide closure for Dylan's family.

I think they are done IMO . Just from the way LE said the area had not been cordoned off and they had found all they was going to of Dylan seemed like that was now done.

This is my interpretation of what was said!!

Did we ever determine if Middle Mountain Road was the road Mark was searching with B when he made the comment about it being stupid to search there? It sounds to me like it could be.

Pensfan, thank you for bringing over the LE quote about how Dylan was always on the internet, and him just taking off like that was not him. Assuming LE researched his internet and texting habits, it's good to have a quote from them to back up what his family has said about him.

I honestly believe something happened Sunday evening when the communicating stopped. It is clear to me that if Dylan had woken up in the morning, he would have been texting R immediately.

I believe MR said ( i dont have a link but im sure its up thread ) that this is ' all of dylan that will ever be recovered' and I believe he was quoting LE at the time, so hopefully one of them said it and I did not just post a rumor. The thinking may be that enough was found to make a positive ID and determine that it's a crime and that if nothing else is recovered, they still got their answers.


I'm sorry Dylan to speak of you in such a way. It's so disrespectful and disgusting .

I'm also really curious about his internet and communications around when he went missing.
In particular I want to know what was said in his final text. Did it hint towards Dylan going to bed? Did it refer to Dylan going to "grab something to eat"? Was it a general text in the middle of a conversation, as if the conversation wasn't over?

Listen to Tric's True Crime Radio from last night. Teresa Martinez, Mark's friend, was interviewed.

Last night someone posted that Dylans last text was to his friend and said I will see you in the morning and it was 9:37 pm. IDK if that was verified or not. There is an onslaught of info and articles in the last 24 hrs so if that was a rumor or fb thing I'm sorry.
