Dylan Redwine Case Discussion Thread/Dylan's Remains Found

[vasportsmom]

I really hope that the monster that took Dylan from his mother will be in jail long before any memorial service is held <modsnip>.

 

[margarita25]

I honestly thought it was possible that Dylan would never be found. I'm grateful this is not the case.

 

[Ghostwheel]

I so much appreciate you GW, and your diligence in hanging on...but I also gotta say, "IT'S ABOUT TIME!"

Hugs, Lordeebee:candle:

How come there's no raspberry smiley? I fell off a while back. About the time Mark started talking again. I just forgot to mention it.

 

[margarita25]

The fact that only partial remains have been located, "bones", was something that Elaine had specifically feared/mentioned on Dr. Phil, that Dylan's bones were just laying out there... I hope she can somehow get these horrible visions out of her mind.

I was just going to make that same comment.

Also interesting that MR says LE found "only found four or five of his son's bones" (http://www.denverpost.com/recommended/ci_23553442) yet according to Melissa's twitter that Dr. Know posted above, MR told her LE found two femurs and a shoulder blade (Melissa Colorado &#8207;@melissacolorado 3m Dylan Redwine's father tells me authorities found his son's 2 femurs and a shoulder blade in woods. The investigation is now a homicide.)

Now one shoulder blade and two femurs = 3 bones. Not 4 or 5 bones.

Maybe I'm being too picky about consistency and semantics. Maybe he heard something different earlier about it being 4 or 5 bones that were recovered and then found out later it was only 3 bones. Also, I see no reason why one would obfuscate about what bones were or weren't found among the remains. But I also don't see why anyone who has been told not to talk about the specifics of the remains & what was found with them to the press at this point would do so.

I personally would not be able to put those words together about WHAT BONES were found!!! I would not be able to utter the word BONES an hour or even several days after I found out in what condition MY SON was found! "Bones" seem so impersonal...Those bones are your son!!!!

Sorry...Rant over. I should be more careful with how others grieve I suppose.

Maybe its just me but, I do know that if I wanted people to remember my child as the positive descriptor stated above then I would absolutely NOT be stating to media reporters such horrific descriptors as he also states above in the IMO very unnecessary detailing of his body "mangled and torn apart by wild animals".. That was very upsetting and IMO totally unnecessary..MOO AND JMO ONLY!

What??? Doesn't he want people to focus on finding the perp?

Mark says deputies warned him before showing photos of what they found. In the pictures, Dylan’s body appeared mangled and torn apart by wild animals. Officials are still determining cause of death, but Dylan’s father says right now, he hopes people will focus on the loving boy his son was.

"For the loving, caring peacemaker that he was,” Mark Redwine said.

FWIW, IMO, Mark was shown the pictures for a reason.

I find his priorities very strange. It always comes back to Elaine with him. I imagine that living with a man that is so focused on control would be very difficult and escaping that relationship would be just as dangerous. IMO Dylan paid the price for his mother refusing to accept the status quo.

That was in response to the q1uestion, what do you want people to remember about Dylan. MOO

I too think its amazing that Dylan was found in the specific area where they were searching, that they could have more knowledge about this than they are releasing, but then again, even though the terrain is so dynamic, it is still only within a ten mile radius, a standard and obvious distance to search. Also, with the dogs hitting on the lake, they could have deducted the aspect of the water run off, drainage, etc. Also, I remember discussion of how important it is to clear areas for the sake of ruling those areas out.

 

[Lordeebee]

Nobody said that MR is "cleared." But then police always claimed he is neither a suspect nor a PO.

Really though, how often have we seen where police have named a "suspect" or "POI" before the ARREST? I would not want to have to go back and find our research (painstaking) that indicated this would be an exception to the rule.

 

[IHAVENOCLUE]

Dylan was wearing black Jordan tennis shoes per the missing description. No shoes-didn't walk to the location on his own?

And... were the shoe laces used for something... more sinister? :dunno:

 

[Tricia]

If you get a chance listen to the first hour of my show.

Theresa is a woman who is a very close friend of Mark's. She came on the show and gave us some interesting insight.

Sheryl McCollum drew us a great verbal picture of what raises a red flag to the police department in a case like this on.

Hey guys can we lay off the bickering? Emotions are high tonight and I have had to remove some posts. If you see a post that you feel violates TOS, don't respond, just report it, please and thank you.

I'm still floored that a parent would be able to openly discuss such images of their own child so soon after being notified. It seems very odd. That's my opinion.

As cynical as I am from WS and from life, I am feeling kind of stunned tonight. I felt Dylan was deceased for a long time now, almost as soon as I heard about his lack of communication after Sunday night. But every night before I fell asleep these past months, I wondered where he could be and if he would ever be found, and to be honest, I really doubted he would be. In fact, he was pretty much where I imagined all along more or less. Still, it is a terrible shocking fact now, vs. wondering and doubting.

I do feel impressed with LE and feel like that no matter how it appeared from the outside, they had evidence and a plan for many months now and just needed the right manpower and conditions to retrieve him. Hoping the next part comes quickly and ideally, that a confession takes place to spare the additional pain of a trial.

Also, with the dogs hitting on the lake, they could have deducted the aspect of the water run off, drainage, etc. Also, I remember discussion of how important it is to clear areas for the sake of ruling those areas out.

I've been wondering about that as far as the hits on the lake. Drainage ditches like that are used by animals to traverse places like that. Does anyone think it possible that animals scavenged from the lake? I'm not convinced that there would be enough run off from such a small portion to cause the strong hits numerous months apart.

Knowing now that his remains are not intact, does anyone else think they should perhaps look again by that drain considering that they were looking for an intact body, and now we know that that's no longer the case? Individual sections of someone's body would show up much differently on sonar than an entire body.

As always, all of the above is MOO! :cow:

"For the loving, caring peacemaker that he was,” Mark Redwine said. “I know that it was difficult for his mom and I to go through such a bitter divorce and I did everything I could to keep him out of the middle of it. He struggled with that and I'm not sure he felt he could talk to either of his parents about that and that's what's also hard."

Say, what? I'm sorry but what does this have to do with losing your child?

Okay, I am at a loss here..... You just find out TODAY that your young son's remains were found, and it's a 'criminal investigation"..... Crying or screaming that you want to get your hands on the SOB that did this to your boy--I could understand that, but to discuss your divorce?? Huh? Different strokes for different folks, but I just do not understand a reaction like that--sorry.

It would be interesting to see which areas were searched and in which order. After all, they didn't start at the top of the road and work their way down. But they might have started at the bottom and worked their way up. Otherwise, it does seem fortuitous that they just happened to find the right area right there in the middle.

RIP sweet, Dylan. My thoughts go out to Dylan's mother, brother, and family.
