UT UT - Dylan Rounds, 19, wkg on farm, “weird run-in” with a guy walking on gravel rd, no phone & CC activity, Lucin, Box Elder Co, 25 May 2022

[Seattle1]

The only people who could possibly know whether DR gave the barefoot man a ride or not on May 25, 2022 would be DR and the barefoot man.

^^rsbm

Yes - - the barefoot man confirmed to CC that DR gave him a ride to town. She's since corrected her initial statement.

This is a fluid investigation and one needs to listen to CC's later videos for corrected and/or revised information from DR's mom. Take note that the first approved YT on the tread is two weeks old already! JMO

 

[Officer Dibble]

If the barefoot man claims he did ride in D's truck then could that possibly be an untruth because he knows his DNA or prints will be found on truck? JMO MOO

 

[Seattle1]

I know the PI ended up being rude and crazy. But could he have stumbled into some valid information in spite of that?

I dunno -- he sure seems over the top to me beginning with his allegation that one dude is a registered sex offender. A credible PI should know how to check the registry (in all states for that matter) and cite the category/level of the offender, etc. Instead, if he thinks it, it must be true.

Given both parents and the PI have publically named the individual and his brother, it's all public information. Probably not too difficult to call out the PI's allegation a porky or embellished hearsay.

However, I do agree it is likely that there could be a landowner watch group of sorts where the land owners might patrol a designated border to their property at night against the growing number of squatters the owners find threatening. Farm equipment is expensive as is sabotage to their operations. If nothing else, it would certainly help pass an evening in that desolate, unpopulated area!

I'm also curious if the squatters, anti-govt, preppers, and bunch, help sustain the local area businesses or if they stay far away and out of sight? JMO

ETA: All States have their own rules for sexual offender registries and where to access them. For example, WA does not list Level 1 but you can contact the Sheriff's office for confirmation.

Per RCW 4.24. 550, Washington state only publishes Level II, III and non-compliant or transient Level I offenders. If you are looking for information on a specific offender not published on the website, you can contact your local Sheriff's office. They can provide you with information on specific Level I offenders.

That CC is the only one talking, is because her son is missing.

I have the feeling that there are people who know what happened to Dylan, but they are not talking whether for self preservation or because some are implicated one way or another.
Off the grid folks, renegades, transients, or druggies who have their own system of "justice" are not going to talk to authority figures or LE.

At this time it is a violation of TOS to denigrate and cast aspersions on a family member who has not been named as a POI or a suspect in this missing person case. Websleuths does not allow statement analysis from either self-proclaimed experts or from members. Do not bring that here.

This doesn’t strike me as a suicide (no indication of depression/mental illness), voluntary walk-about or accident/sudden illness (it’s flat and treeless as all heck and they’ve searched by ground and air—if he suddenly dropped he would have been found by now). Someone did something to him.

While it could have been a random transient criminal addict camping hobo type it feels local to me. I expect we’ll learn the motive was either:

1). Bullies who hate outsiders gave him a hard time and it went too far. And they will be known troublemakers to LE.

2). D stumbled on to something he shouldn’t have and was silenced to protect the nefarious activity. It’s possible the activity is known and santioned by a number of local folks.

3.). D was developing a romantic interest in a long-time local resident and someone was jealous or didn’t approve.

I don’t know how the boots fit in but don’t think weird barefoot dude is responsible. He may tangentally be acquainted w/the perp(s) and while he’s had what must have been a very bad few weeks my gut says he’s not involved.

MOO

SBM. I remember Dylan's mom answering a related question recently. According to her, Dylan kept equipment in the second trailer. Both trailers were at the same location. IIRC, Dylan's family (or a friend) drove his pickup truck to Idaho.

I’m curious how the vehicle was driven anywhere since it’s been stated that the key fob was missing and that they had to break out the rear window to gain entry because it was reportedly locked. Seems unnecessary to do if the key fob was in the possession of someone who could drive the vehicle. IMO

It is my contention that the barefoot man lied to CC.

Justin Rounds had the 2nd key but did not bring it with him to Lucin, UT on Monday, May 30 when they came to check on DR. They had DR's friend bring the spare key and drive the Ford back to Idaho where JR had the window he busted out repaired. The Ford was returned to Lucin where reportedly, it's now in the custody of the state troopers for forensic testing. Seems up until the case was deemed a criminal investigation, authorities made no attempt to take possession of the assets. JMO

Well thought out scenarios.

I agree with #1, that Bullies could be involved. But I am not sure it'd be because he is an outsider because his grandparents, apparently, have lived there for many years already. So he might not be seen as an outsider.

However, they may have other issues with him that we are not aware of. I do wonder if he stumbled into the middle of someone else's relationship. Even accidentally...?

I'm leaning to a combination of 1 (other than the "outsider" notion) and 2.

Bullies who gave him a hard time because he didn't agree with certain bad activities, Dylan's possibly "holier than thou" attitude given his passion for and preoccupation with his farm's success rather than being "one of the guys".
Or...Dylan may have been caught up in some potentially bad activities, and then he balked.
Or...some major dispute about equipment or catching somebody attempting to steal, sabotage his farm, or what have you.

Several possibilities.

Really don't have a clue, ...except for the fact that there appear to be some pretty nasty characters around.

I don't think barefoot guy is responsible either.

 

[Jbootneil]

So what’s the latest theories fellas?

So what’s the latest theories fellas?

Focus on his associates from the bar. At minimum, they can elaborate on his actions that evening.

Amateur opinion and speculation

 

[Sillybilly]

Do we have a link somewhere to this YT that is being discussed? If it's upthread, I haven't been able to find it.

Thanks !!

The YT link is on the Official FB page and the youtube video has not been posted on WS. The PI's language is very offensive.

DR's family (parents, aunt, grandparents) recorded a conference call with the PI previously retained by the grandparents. The conversation did not end well.

Dylan's mother sent the recorded conference call to YT creator Sleuth Mom because she wanted the public to hear how the PI addressed the family, and also put out a Public Announcement that the PI was no longer working with/for the family on this case.

 

[MsBetsy]

I agree that the PI is “unconventional” but I would not fully dismiss his findings.

Amateur opinion and speculation

Unlike the PI, LE and the FBI are interviewing witnesses and actually investigating.

This guy has just repeated a bunch of gossip, much of it based on events that occurred back in 2008.

I would consider anything he says as rumor since it's not supported by any facts. Imo

 

[Tealgrove]

If Dylan’s trailer had been trashed or if equipment was missing, or his truck etc., I would be looking at squatters or druggies in the area. However, it appears that this is not the case unless we are not privy to that information.

I think whatever transpired involves one or more persons known to Dylan. This is about Dylan not his stuff.

MOO

I would agree that there were some things that seem improbable or unrelated. Where I do agree with the PI is the focus on the bar patrons to assist with additional detail.

Great thought. That hadn’t occurred to me but it could certainly make sense.
