On November 18, 2012, a 13-year-old Colorado boy named Dylan Redwine grudgingly visited his estranged father Mark as part of a contentious custody arrangement.
However, it wasn’t just the divorce that made things tense between father and son. The year before, Dylan and his older brother Corey had stumbled upon something disturbing on their dad’s computer: selfies of him wearing lingerie and eating feces from a diaper. Mark knew that Corey had seen the photos and even used them against him in some heated arguments, but he had no idea that Dylan had seen them as well.
At some point on the first day of that November visit, Redwine learned that his younger son also knew his secret — and suddenly lashed out in an act of explosive violence, killing his own son right then and there.
Mark then wove a tangled web of lies about Dylan’s “disappearance,” and he got away with it for three years before authorities finally found the boy’s battered, decomposing remains in the woods in 2015.
