From Websleuth's Media Thread for Dylan Redwine, The Durango Herald, 11/26/2012:
"None of Dylans belongings that could carry his scent was available in the first days of the investigation. But the family had articles of the boys clothing delivered on the weekend.
We have the clothes, Bender said Monday. We dont need them here (at the reservoir), but can use them later.
Just a reminder of how it went, as it's been a long, long, while. When the lake search was being conducted, LE was unable to obtain any articles from MR that were suitable for using as scent items for the dogs. We had numerous discussions at that time as to why that was, most of which ended in a draw. (Interestingly, in discussing possibilities with someone recently, they suggested that, if MR were indeed involved, he had every incentive _NOT_ to provide anything for the dogs to work with, as the longer it took to locate Dylan, the better it would be for him.)
Anyway, for whatever reason, LE could not get items with Dylan's scent from MR's house, so they were brought up from ER's home. Officer Bender did not say "they did not need them and did not use them." His direct quote is above.
