THE DISAPPEARANCE Dylan went missing on May 28 on and was last seen eating at the Saddle Sore Bar in Montello, Nevada. The town is about 30 minutes away from the family farm Dylan was working on in Lucin, Utah, which is on the Utah-Nevada border. His family, who is from Idaho, filed a missing person report with the police two days later. The last time Dylan's family heard from him, he reportedly told them that he needed to move his truck on their farm because it was raining and he didn't want the seeds to be ruined. Dylan had been "putting the grain truck in a shelter... that day, according to an FBI affidavit. SQUATTER SUSPECT Dylan's 59-year-old neighbor, James Brenner, who he allegedly knew, was squatting in a trailer on the land where the shelter was, according to a court document obtained by The Sun. He was then named a suspect by the Box Elder County Sheriff's Office on July 7. A search warrant had been executed at Brenner's trailer by the FBI on June 16. Officials say they found ammunition, ignition caps, and black powder associated with muzzleloader firearms. Brenner's friend allegedly told the FBI on June 20 that Brenner brought three black powder firearms and asked the friend to keep them after Dylan went missing. FBI special agent Jeremiah Fowlke in the court document: "When 'friend ' asked 'why', Brenner stated that he needed to do this for ...his own safety' and that ...the last time he had trouble with the law they took everything from him, and he did not want the things he had left to be taken again'.... According to the court document, Brenner has been charged with possessing a firearm while being a felon. He remains in custody until his trial for his firearm possession, on September 12. MOTHER'S INTUITION Dylan's mother told East Idaho News she believes her son ...was taken, and he did not leave his place willingly.... She thought her son's boots found by police after he went missing may have been a clue. ...From where his grain truck was parked, his boots were about 100 yards south behind a pile of dirt just casually tossed out,... Cooley said. ...He was very particular about his boots. He wears a pair, and it's always the same pair. When they wear out, he goes and buys exactly the same boots.... Police also found a spot of blood on the boots, according to the boy's mother.
