CO- Dylan Redwine, 13, Vallecito, 19 November 2012 - #12

Wow. What a great question. I would have never thought of that. No, I haven't. I'd have to ask my parents her name, I hope they can remember because it was so many years ago and I was so young, I don't remember it.

She lived across the street from my parents best friends. I had played with her a few times when we visited there. So I kinda knew year. We played dolls, jump rope and hopscotch together.

You could probably just look up the year and the city and find her somewhere online as far as to sleuth. It would be awesome if you 'd let us in on it, but I understand if you did not.

My youngest son was always unhappy, especially in photos! LOL That was just his style. And now that he's in his 20's, its still his style. Yet he is hilarious in his personality and fun to be around. But he was always the naysayer about everything...and that was part of the thing that made him funny.
Believe it or not, he was voted the "WITTIEST SENIOR STUDENT" superlative by his graduating class...and also won the SPIRIT AWARD, for having the most school spirit his senior year. Imagine that!
I might have 10 photos of him smiling....amongst 100 where he is making faces or doing his sad face (staring off into space)!

Well Dylan looks happy, doesn't he??? He look sulky and like he was crying. His eyes look sorta puffy. Poor kid.

I thought the same thing as soon as I looked at this photo. He looks "closed up" with his arm across his middle and sad/maybe sullen look on his face. Poor Dylan.

Mom's got her arm around Corey but not Dylan, she's leaning away a little. Maybe there had been a tiff just before the pic was taken.

:seeya:Love this post....
And why is it we get so hostile when someone disagrees with us? Since tomorrow, I might disagree with myself! LOL

I can only speak for myself but I'm a complete jerk- so that's why I get hostile! lol... kidding

Not many things are worse than a missing / endangered child and I know for me it's hard when passion is high to keep calm.
I need to remember self-imposed TO's are good. Or a shot of Tylenol PM. Either way!




eta: bbm - I guess the "kidding" comment is up to everyone's personal interpretation ;-)

 

[Linda7NJ]

I don't remember hearing this but if someone can find this, we'd appreciate it!

I've been looking without much luck...I could have sworn it was somewhere in the first five threads. Maybe I'm not remembering it correctly, if that's the case, I'm truly sorry.

He doesn't look unhappy to me. JMO

If he was being called constantly by the press, I can sympathize. I almost unplugged my phone before the elections.

Thats what call display is for... You almost unplugged your phone, but if your child was missing could you really say the same?

We are not talking about sunday evening.

I was talking about Sunday evening

I gather you're also a Yankee's fan. So that's another problem you got.

duke is playing temple as we speak. duke also played the night that he went missing. of course, dylan didn't get to see the game (6pm mountain time) on that sunday night because he was in wal-mart. could've caught the second half with dad had they headed home right away.

he wears a hat bearing the team's name and the ribbons sold/worn in his honor are their travel colors, black and blue. wishing he was watching tonight.

also, technically i wanted to point out that MR waited 9 hours to report him missing. he last saw him at 7:30am, according to his own statements. IF he was texting and/or calling his son, he never received an answer after leaving the house. and if he never attempted to get in touch with his son after leaving, well...wow. regardless, 5 hours is 5 too many.

IMO, JMO, MOO, et cetera...

 

[DylansMom34]

The discussions/debates about differing opinions on the guilt/innocence of MR are to be expected. I actually find some of the comments that have been made about ER and CR really out of line. JMO

You didn't have a child out there, supposedly missing! Who does that? IMO someone that knows his son won't be calling!

Oh wait, I remember Scott Peterson doing it during a televised interview.

 

[kkdj]

Welcome. It looks like MR had a hand in his son's disappearance.
Did Dad 'transfer' Dylan to someone Sunday night and that's why Dylan took his backpack and LE haven't found any solid proof of murder?

I have pondered the same thought. Maybe we could see if anything leads us to this thinking. I think the thing that stays in the back of my mind is MRs history of having a bad temper.

Actually, ER wrote her affidavit that " Mark got extremely beligerant [sic] as he was very drunk and grabbed me and took a swing at his son,
'D' reacted and hit Mark."
Please re-read my post. I wrote "physical altercations" with his son. I really shouldn't have to spell this out, but that phrase pretty much covers what ER described. <modsnip>

I'm a bit behind. Do we have a link to this affidavit? Where was this stated?

Ohh yeah. And I lived in Massachusetts for several years, so I'm particularly defensive having been surrounded by Boston sports fans for so long.

WICKED annoying! ":moo:"

So glad to see you following this case, WR! :great:

If you look at the one of him with his mother, Cory and Mike, you'll see the same thing. They're all in the back with big smiles, and he's standing in front of them with dark circles and no hint of a smile. Those where I thought he looked happy/content were the one in his uniform, the one in the pawn shop and the one leaning on Cory. I think the behavior of all the adults in his life scared him long ago, and he had nobody but his brother to feel safe with. I think that even though Cory is an adult now, Dylan still feels safest with him. MOO

"For the next two years, the couple went through divorce proceedings. In 2008, mom, Elaine Redwine, claimed she had a confrontation with her ex-husband Mark in the early hours of July 4. She wrote, "He was very drunk and grabbed me and took a swing at his son." She said Dylan reacted and hit Mark."

I don't think Dylan lived a very happy life, but kids are able to be happy and enjoy things even in less than ideal situations. I don't think he was beaten or abused or that would have been made SUPER clear from court docs and the press would have been all over it if there was even a small case against either parent for beating him. But I gotta say he doesn't look happy in any of the pics I've seen really, but I don't read much into that except snooty, brooding teenagers. My kids went to yellowstone park some years back with grandparents and aunt . I got sent back all these great pics of my kids in front of wonderful sights, and my oldest ( 12 then ) looked like the most miserable person on earth in every one. Nothing was wrong with him. Just a moody , hormonal pout! Yellowstone National Flipping Park and he couldn't put a smile on in front of the Inn . So I think Dylan looks just about typical in all the pics. You couldn't determine his happiness or lack thereof by being a brat when the camera flashes. That's just the boy in him. i m h o , etc

My son is the same way! My niece recently got married, and my son wouldn't smile in any of the pics...even the professional ones! I was so pissed at him, but that's the way he is. And I can assure everyone, he has a happy home life. He's just a contrarian.
