Colorado V Mark Redwine. 13 year old Dylan wasn’t eager to fly to Colorado for the court ordered long distance visit with his dad Mark who tried to placate his son with a visit to McDonald’s and shopping at Walmart straight from the airport. But when the boy didn’t show up for a playdate the next morning, he was reported missing, setting off a manhunt in the rough Colorado wilderness terrain. Mark Redwine and his ex-wife took to the airwaves to plead for their son’s return but to no avail. Then in a stunning twist in a national television interview Dylan’s brother Cory accused Mark of being responsible for his brother’s disappearance, a charge the father vigorously denied. But three years later when Dylan’s badly decomposed remains were found by hikers , prosecutors did indeed charge Mark Redwine with his murder, saying he killed his son out of anger and shame after Dylan confronted him with compromising photos of his sexual deviancy.
