Dylan Redwine's Mother: 'We Know The Inner Workings Of What's Going On'
DENVER (CBS4) - The mother of a boy who disappeared near Durango is talking about the latest developments in the case.
Last week investigators said they have a person of interest in Dylan Redwine's death. Redwine disappeared in 2012 while visiting his father. His partial remains were found months later. Dylan's mother, Elaine Hatfield, says she is confident the case will be solved soon and remains optimistic.
"I can't bring Dylan back. I wish I could, but I can't," Hatfield said. "So in the meantime we just have to keep working and fighting for justice for him."
Hatfield welcomed the news about her son's murder case with the La Plata County Sheriff's Department confirming that they have a person of interest. They won't say who it is or the person's gender.
Retired FBI profiler Pete Klismet says he was hired by the La Plata County Sheriff's Department to help with behavior analysis to develop a person of interest.
"My opinion matched up with what they thought, and that's the point at which we said, 'Okay, so now I think it's safe to say we have a person of interest,' " Klismet said.
Dylan's mother still believes her ex-husband, Dylan's father Mark Redwine, is responsible for their son's death. Mark Redwine denies involvement.
"I know him. I know his relationship with the boys. I know his relationship with us, and quite honestly I know what evidence is out there and that just basically ferments my belief in that Mark did this to Dylan," Hatfield said.
Mark Redwine recently told the Denver Post that he believes he could be the person of interest but doesn't know because investigators aren't speaking to him.
Dylan's mother is hopeful about the new developments in the case.
"Of course I'm more optimistic now, but we live and breathe this every day," she said. "This is our life, so for us … we know the inner workings of what's going on."
CBS4 called Mark Redwine on Thursday for comment but has not heard back.
