Dylan had been staying with his father as part of a court-ordered Thanksgiving holiday visitation, according to a news release. The boy, his mother Eliane and his brother recently moved to Colorado Springs.
Mark Redwine told investigators that he left the home early Monday morning to run some errands. When he returned four hours later, he said Dylan was gone. He reported the child missing around 6 p.m after reportedly searching the area that afternoon.
A nearby resident who knows Dylan reportedly saw him walking with another young boy along La Plata County Road 501 in Vallecito Monday afternoon, but the resident didn't know Dylan was missing until Tuesday.
"We have to consider everything from foul play to a runaway," said La Plata Sheriff's spokesman Dan Bender said

Ryan said he and his friends expected Dylan’s father to drive him into town from Vallecito, but Dylan never arrived.
Mark Redwine showed up later asking where Dylan was but the three friends didn’t know.

The boys said Dylan wasn’t shy about hitching rides.
“Honestly, I think he was walking into Bayfield and got taken away,” he said.
Wesley agreed.
“I don’t think he’s one to run away,” he said.
At one time, all four friends attended Bayfield Middle School. Bender said in the news release that “Bayfield is where Dylan spent much of his time when he lived in the area until this past summer when he, his mother and his brother moved to Colorado Springs.”

“He didn’t go on his own,” Elaine Redwine said of her son, Dylan

“Dylan wouldn’t have left willingly,” Redwine said during an interview at the home of a friend Friday afternoon. “If there was any way to communicate he would have called.”

Dylan was picked up Sunday by his father at Durango-La Plata County Airport, his mother said Friday. Dylan announced his arrival in a text message and ended it with the emoticon that is interpreted as a scowl, she said.
She declined to talk about her former spouse except to say he rarely exercised his visitation rights.
The last time Dylan visited Vallecito from Colorado Springs, where she moved this summer, was on Labor Day weekend, Redwine said.

Elaine Redwine won’t hear of Dylan being a runaway and discounts reported sightings of the boy Monday and Tuesday afternoons.
A Vallecito resident who knows Dylan reported seeing him walking with another boy of about the same age on Monday. Each boy had a backpack.
Redwine believes her son’s disappearance was involuntary. “Someone knows where he is,” she said.
The last time anyone she knows talked to Dylan was Sunday night, Redwine said. Dylan and a friend from Bayfield were to meet early Monday, she said.
Dylan didn’t like the remoteness of Vallecito, his mother said. He was oriented to Bayfield, where he had gone to school until this fall and where he had friends, she said.
“Dylan is a generational kid and tech savvy,” Redwine said. “He wouldn’t have gone off to the mountains to pitch a tent or build a fire.”
But his absence is a heart-rending mystery, Redwine said.
