What a sweet young man and a farmer . So sad ! What a hard worker !! He’s an example to men and young boys . I would be suspicious of that man with a bad past. And the police are again , not doing their job???? Unbelievable!!!!

I am saying the same thing, where did he get the Dylan moms ## to call her, my heart says it him...Police work is really sloppy shame on them...

[@markandrzejak997]

I think that felon would've skipped town if he'd done it. He covered up the one thing was guilty of, stashing the guns he was guilty of possessing. Although ... why would anyone be walking out of the desert bloody OR barefoot? That guy was probably guilty of something. Perhaps looking for another victim should be in order. My Columbo-guess is that the "local law or someone the law was friends with", did it. MOTIVE - Law enforcement dragging its feet is kind of strange. Not like there's much to do there. Other than chasing meth-heads which can be dangerous, you'd think finding what happened to Dylan would be an inviting endeavor. They should've been questioning everyone in that bar and the few people in the homes near it. It's also such a small town with few prospects for attracting love interests and few places to find them. This local law or friend-of was upset he was either insulted that Dylan attracted the attention of the only available woman in town OR was gay himself and was rebuffed by Dylan. OPPORTUNITY - Probably few cameras around also. Perhaps checking local residences or vehicle dash-cams near the bar for camera-doorbells may help. Even in broad daylight though, 1/4 mile from town allows opportunity. MEANS - Easy to hide Dylan after the crime. If he's familiar with the area and peculiarities of things like the washes/riverbeds after rains or knowledge of local mineshafts, especially easy. Driving the truck then wiping it down after of mud (yet forgetting the wheel wells) demonstrates some knowledge of what law enforcement investigations look for. Missing phone, also suspicious. It's not like you'll find a buyer for a mysterious phone or want to be caught using it yourself in a town of 200 people. Buried phone, destroyed chip.

Wondering about the man Dylan encountered covered in blood and no shoes. What did he have to say about his condition? Why blood? Why no shoes? Why was he in the middle of nowhere? Why did he need a ride? Curious fact that Dylan didn’t have his boots on. Connection to Dylan refusing to give this guy a ride? This guy already had an infraction with the law? Sounds suspicious. Where is he from? Family or friends in the area? Why did police wait so long to get serious? What did they know? God bless Dylan and pray for his mom. This is so disturbing!

Having been in church prison ministries for several years, you learn the mind of a convict like a book. And this would be textbook classic convict behavior. They're expert manipulators and liars, who could, as a former girlfriend of my ex husband said, "sell his mom a lead balloon with holes in it, and she'd thank him for it afterwards." They know exactly what to say and how to say it so innocently, that you would feel guilty for doubting them. He absolutely should be the first person of interest. Why the heck was he coming up out of the desert with bare feet and blood on him to begin with? Whose blood was it? Did anybody even bother to check that? Who else was already a victim of his?

That mother is incredibly naive. As far as teenagers go....they don't always tell their parents everything. He had a private life on his farm. He went to those little towns. He made friends.

Facts.

[@GG-cr5hm]

My concern is they're putting too much stock into his last phone call with grandma. Just because he said "I gtg, put the grain away" etc doesn't necessarily mean he was doing exactly that. It might have just been a convenient excuse, it was going to rain soon so he told a half truth, an easy way to get granny off the phone without hurting her feelings. He has a history of not being totally honest so as to not worry or get into a long convo with the maternal person on the phone,( which is completely understandable) What if he wasn't really doing exactly that? What if he had an overnight guest who had just woken up and he wanted granny to skidaddle? Or what if someone was outside driving up and he saw their car and so wanted to get off the phone? What if he wasn't at the farm yet at all? What if he had spent the night in someone else's camper or tent or bunker or whatever else is out there?

So many people are going missing under mysterious circumstances, and if there was a comprehensive national list of the details of these persons and cases, I think it would be mind blowing to us how many there are, and how bazaar the circumstances.
