Jury selection begins for man accused of killing 13-year-old son

DURANGO, Colo. (KRDO) -- A man accused of killing his son in 2012 is standing trial.

Mark Redwine is accused of second-degree murder and child abuse resulting in the death of his 13-year-old son, Dylan.

Dylan went missing in 2012 after going to his father's house in Vallecito for a court-ordered visit. Investigators spent a year looking for him before finding his remains near Redwine's home, including his skull.

Court documents reveal investigators found Dylan's blood throughout the property while searching Redwine's home.

Redwine was supposed to stand trial in November 2020, but the judge declared a mistrial because members of the defense's legal team had COVID-19 symptoms.

Dylan's mother, and Redwine's ex-wife, says she couldn't believe the mistrial was granted.

"My 13-year-old son, his life was taken with no regard and I think that he gets lost in the shuffle of all this and it saddens me deeply," Hall told KRDO in November.

9News reports jury selection is expected to last the rest of the week.
