On Monday, La Plata County Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from at least 16 other groups, concluded a five day follow up search on the upper reaches of Middle Mountain in northeast La Plata County for clues related to the murder of Dylan Redwine in November of 2012. Some of Dylan’s remains and other evidence were recovered in earlier searches.
A total of 69 people took part in this search which began Thursday July 7th and ended Monday July 11th . Searchers put in approximately1088 manhours, often in rugged terrain above 10,000’ altitude. New areas as well as areas previously searched were covered and accumulatively added up to an area of about 1 mile by 1 mile. Most of the people who searched came at their own expense, with several traveling hundreds of miles.
Investigators said the search was a success. Items of interest were recovered. They will be tested and added to other evidence collected during the 3 ½ year investigation.
