Mark Redwine, a Colorado father, was convicted in July 2021 of second‑degree murder and child abuse resulting in the death of his 13‑year‑old son, Dylan Redwine. The case erupted after Dylan vanished during a court‑ordered visit with his father in November 2012; his partial remains were discovered in June 2013 and his skull in November 2015 in remote terrain near Vallecito, Colorado . Prosecutors alleged that Redwine killed Dylan in a jealous rage—reportedly triggered by the boy finding photos of his father wearing women’s lingerie—then disposed of the body and attempted to hide evidence. During the high‑profile five‑week trial, forensic analysis revealed traces of Dylan’s blood in Redwine’s living room and cadaver dogs signaled the presence of a corpse in both the house and the back of Redwine’s pickup truck. The prosecution’s case relied heavily on circumstantial evidence, though prosecutors insisted it was overwhelming. A La Plata County jury convicted Redwine, and in October 2021 he received the maximum sentence of 48 years in prison. At sentencing, Judge Jeffrey Wilson criticized Redwine’s “utter lack of remorse” and his refusal to accept responsibility. Redwine’s own brief statement in pre‑sentence reports called the verdict “fake,” a “miscarriage of justice,” and insisted that he and his son “lost a child I love more than life itself”—writing also that he would “fight for true justice”. His defense counsel announced intent to appeal shortly afterward, citing issues including alleged insufficiency of evidence, improper sentencing, and trial objections. They filed a notice of appeal within Colorado’s 41‑day window. The appellate proceedings remain ongoing. The case attracted extensive media coverage, including appearances on Dr. Phil, Nancy Grace, Investigation Discovery, and local investigative programs. #markre#markredwinee#markredwinecaser#dylanredwiner#dylanredwinecase - @truecrimerecollections
