One month after Dylan Redwine vanished from his father’s home at Vallecito Lake, a full contingent of investigators is still working the case and his family is still begging for his return, or for someone to tell them what happened to the 13-year-old.
“Someone’s got him, and they can’t keep him out of sight forever,” said his aunt Lia Howard of Denver. “We just hope we can find what speaks to that person.”
So far, a reward of $11,000 hasn’t leveraged any solid leads. Tips are still coming in from across the country, but nothing has moved investigators closer to the missing teen. Items collected during a community roadside search 10 days ago haven’t been definitively linked to Redwine.

The lack of any visible progress on the case has cast a pall over the tiny community of Vallecito at a time when it is usually celebrating the holidays and snow.
The horse-drawn sleighs, ice sculptors, dogsleds and cookie bakers were out last weekend for the annual Christmas festival, but Jim Schank,who owns the Schank House Bar & Grill at Vallecito, said it just wasn’t the same this year.
“Overall, this community is still lost until Dylan is found,” Schank said.
He said Dylan’s dejected-appearing father Mark Redwine occasionally comes in to buy cigarettes.
“He’s lost a lot of weight,” Schank said.

hope that her son would be found.
“It was just heartbreaking for her to leave,” Howard said.
Dylan disappeared Nov. 19, the morning after he flew in to spend Thanksgiving break with his father. Dylan and his mother had moved to the Colorado Springs area in July where she had primary custody of her son after a long and bitter divorce battle.
Investigators are chasing every tip and clue but have no suspect.
