Mark Redwine: Statement Analysis of Letter Part One, Introduction

Statement Analysis has indicated Mark Redwine for deception in the disappearance of his son, Dylan.  In his initial statements, he did not issue a reliable denial, and has also indicated that a dispute of some form took place in which Mark Redwine appears to have lost his temper, and likely caused the death of his son.  His statements show that he has an awareness that Dylan is not alive.

When he appeared on the Dr. Phil Show, he was also deceptive, not speaking from memory, specifically about Dylan and the last time he saw Dylan alive, and stated, on television, that he would take a polygraph.

Statement Analysis showed that this was also not to be, and the next day, on a two part program, we saw that he did, in fact, refuse to take the polygraph.

In his refusal, Redwine blamed the polygrapher, himself, for causing Redwine to refuse it.  This is a consistent pattern in his speech:  blaming others and refusing to take responsibility.

It appeared that Dr. Phil felt that he was close to eliciting a confession (or admission, more likely) from Redwine, even offering him paid legal counsel.

Redwine has consistently blamed others, including Dylan's mother, as well as working from tangents; that is, diverting questions away from him in order to change the topic at hand.

Since he has refused to deny harming Dylan, in Statement Analysis we say:  "If someone is unable or unwilling to tell us that he did not do it, we are not permitted to say it for him."

Behavioral Analysis also indicates guilt on the part of Redwine, though it is not something dealt with extensively here.  Suffice it to say that like others indicated for deception, he has done due diligence in order to hinder the recovery of Dylan's remains.

We also learned of perversity within Mark Redwine's life that was, apparently known to Dylan, which suggests a reasoning behind Redwine's insistence that his son respect him, in the context of being on national television while the son's sibling remains missing.  Whereas innocent parents would care for nothing but the missing, Redwine showed his need to be respected, something that Dylan would struggle to do given not only Redwine's perversity, but his penchant for blaming and likely verbally attacking Dylan's mother, Elaine.

I suggest that Dylan may have died defending his mother's honor, among other things that Redwine was angry about, including Dylan's desire to see his friends more than see his father.  The insult of seeing a photograph of his father in perversity, blaming Dylan's mother, and Dylan's choice to see his friends culminated in the perfect storm towards an acutely immature, selfish, boorish, and easily insulted father who appeared to live life to bring pain to others, especially his ex wife.

Mark Redwine has likely read analysis of his statements and here, in careful preparation, we still see signals of sensitivity, highlighting an important lesson:

When one reads the "I didn't do it" teaching of a reliable denial, he may, like a parrot repeating a phrase, state, "I didn't do it!" yet, it is in the initial hours of the investigation where he was speaking in the "Free Editing Process"; that is, speaking for oneself, without the need for preparation.  It is in the Free Editing Process that the innocent will say so, using an economy of words, and without sensitivity. This is the "Reliable Denial" formula:

1.  The use of the Pronoun "I", something used millions of times, which means the subject has had lots of practice using it, and is exceedingly proficient in its usage.

2.  The past tense verb, "did not" or the more casual, "didn't" is also something understood and used appropriately by age 5 by humans.  We know if something happened yesterday, or if it is yet to happen, and the innocent do not struggle with the verb tense.

3.  The accusation is met without difficulty.  The third component of a Reliable Denial is that the subject knows what he is accused of, and answers it.  "I did not take the missing money" is a good example of such. "I did not cause Dylan's disappearance" was not something Mark Redwine was able to bring himself to say during the initial Free Editing Process.  Reading analysis and simply parroting the words does not make it reliable.  The window on the Reliable Denial closed shortly after Redwine was interviewed.   "I would never harm Dylan" is something common among the guilty.  By itself, it is unreliable, though acceptable if it followed a reliable denial.  "I did not harm Dylan; I never would!"is an example of such.

Here is the letter in its entirety.  This will be followed by Part Two, the analysis itself.
Posting it first allows readership to address it, as is, without emphasis added.  Please put your thoughts in the comments section.  See if you can pick out areas in which he appears to have 'learned' from Statement Analysis.

"I would like to take the opportunity to address the disappearance of my son Dylan as we are now at 6 months. Our community like many across the country are still missing one of our children. I like the many who know him miss his happy personality, smile as well as his outgoing and giving nature. I know Dylan is loved and missed by all those who know him and we owe it to him to continue our search to find him. Over the last several months the focus in finding Dylan seems to have changed to blaming and disrespect. I will be the first to say "I will never give up" and I am honored to have Dylan as my son.

There are many aspects of Dylan's disappearance, I like many in our communities across the country struggle with each day. I am asking that we stop and evaluate the process as a community, to come up with a more productive approach in the search for Dylan and missing children across the country. I feel more should be done anytime a child goes missing. No child who is missing should have to wait for certain criteria to be met before the public is notified and an alert be sent out. I want to find my son and bring him home safe. I need the help of every single person out there to do this. Dylan could be anywhere out there so PLEASE look at his picture and the face of every child you see his age to see if it could be Dylan.

There have been many rumors started most of which are untrue and none that have been helpful in our search for Dylan. There are a few members of the community who continue to hamper the search efforts. It's not for me to judge these individuals nor do I believe Dylan would condone anyone else judging them. I thank the many individuals and businesses who have contributed in our search for Dylan. Although several attempts have been made, I would like to publicly invite Dylan's mother too mediation services being offered. I believe the more we all work together to bring Dylan home the more successful his safe return will be.

To Dylan: I know in my heart you are out there and can see all the things that are going on. "I want you to know I love you and will never give up to bring you home safe". Myself as well as many in our community and across the nation have you in our thoughts and prayers everyday. Each day many including me, search for the truth and the person or persons responsible for your disappearance. Speaking for myself, I will not rest until the truth comes out and justice has been served.

To Cory: Like Dylan I love you and will never give up on you. Regardless of the things you say or do I will always care. I feel the same pain, hurt and feeling of helplessness you and your mother feel. I can't make this any more clear, I don't have Dylan, I have never had Dylan and I absolutely do not know where Dylan is.

To whom it may concern: I want you to live each day as it were your last. You can't run far enough or hide under any rock that can't be turned over. Dylan is loved by all who know him. You may find his disappearance entertaining or even amusing. Regardless of who you are and why? All I want is Dylan returned safely. The truth always comes out and when it does may God have pity on your soul.

I love you Dylan,

PaPa"
