Dylan Redwine's Mother In Vallecito To Learn More About 'Person Of Interest'

DURANGO, Colo. (CBS4) - The mother of Dylan Redwine is back in the town of Vallecito near Durango after the sheriff's office says there is a person of interest in the teen's death.

Dylan Redwine disappeared while visiting his father for Thanksgiving 2012. His partial remains were found six months later.

Early last month investigators went back to the area where Dylan was last seen and found what's described as items of interest. Since then the La Plata County Sheriff's Office has worked with a former FBI profiler to identify a person of interest.

"(We're) trying to be as thorough as we can in the case. Our ultimate goal is to find final justice for Dylan," Dan Bender with the La Plata County Sheriff's Office told CBS4.

Dylan's father, Mark Redwine, told CBS4 the sheriff's office never told him about a person of interest or new details.

Dylan's aunt told the CBS affiliate in Colorado Springs the investigators did not identify the person to the family.

Dylan's mother, Elaine Hatfield, has sued his father for wrongful death.
