Who is the Dylan Round?
Dylan Round is 19 years old who went missing on Saturday, May 28, 2022.
He was last seen working on a family farm in Rusin, Utah.
A few days before his disappearance, he met an unknown man whose round aunt Katie Wealth spoke to eastidahonews.com.
She said: “The man was walking barefoot on the gravel road. He flagged Dylan on his truck.
“He asked me to use Dylan’s phone and was acting erratically.
“Dylan felt the man was dangerous and expensive. When he asked Dailand to ride, (Dylan) didn’t give him a ride.”
Wells added that the man was seen again a few days later in Montello, Nevada, seeking a round.
He was also reportedly on a round trailer on the day of his teenage disappearance.
His aunt said: “We don’t think we’ve been looted. Dylan is drunk, he doesn’t have a phone, he doesn’t have his wallet.
“He is an old soul and a heart is a farm boy. All he wants to do is get up every day and work all day.
“He’s not interested in parties, he’s not interested in traveling. He’s never dated in high school. He’s not your typical 19-year-old.”
Did you find the Dylan Round?
The round has not yet been found after he was reported missing on May 30th.
His boots were found by a camper behind a pile of soil on a farm near the Utah-Nevada border, according to his mother, Candice Cooley.
She told East Idaho News:
“He was very particular about his boots. He wears pairs and it’s always the same pair. When they wear out, he goes to buy the exact same boots.”
Coolie was told by police that blood spots had been found on her boots and was sent to the laboratory for inspection.
“At that point, it should have been treated as fraudulent play,” she told NewsNation.
“I never see anyone’s boots gone in the desert,” she added.
She also said there were no tire marks in the soil entering and exiting the round red pickup truck. She felt suspicious because it rained on Memorial Day weekend when he disappeared.
She also added that the truck appeared to have been pressure-washed when police found it, and the driver’s seat was abnormally scooped up.
The truck was four-wheel drive, but the rounds complained that this wasn’t working, Cooley said.
When did the Dylan Round go missing?
The Rounds family last heard about it on May 28, after which it was reported missing on May 30.
Deputy Cade Palmer, Chief of the Box Elder County Sheriff’s Office, said:
“If this takes months, if it takes years, we keep knocking on the door.”
Box Elder County is currently working with the FBI on this incident.
“We regularly provide support and resources to law enforcement partners,” said Sandraber Car, a spokeswoman for East Aidaho News.
Cooley is grateful to the agency for undertaking her son’s case, but criticized the local government for not providing further support to her family.
“When Box Elder County came out, they came out on Monday, May 30,” she said, adding that the investigators did a good job at first.
“But the next day, when they came out and the sheriff and everyone came back, it was around a couple of afternoons — they called it.
“They literally left our family in the desert and understood what had happened,” she claimed.
Box Elder County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement:
“Detectives and agents at the Box Elder County Sheriff’s Office are also searching 24 hours a day on weekdays and weekends. So far, detectives have spent more than 650 hours investigating this case.
“These numbers continue to grow day by day and do not include the time and resources provided by assisting law enforcement and search teams.”
Meanwhile, Round’s parents are asking the person who has the information to come forward.
“I need something,” Coolie said.
“We need direction. Even if you don’t think it’s important, the smallest small piece of something may help. Tell us.”
According to the family, anyone who finds a round or knows where they are will be rewarded with $ 20,000.
The Dylan round is 5 feet -10 and weighs 160 pounds. He had brown hair and brown eyes, and was finally seen wearing jeans, a dark shirt, and a flannel jacket.
Anyone who has the information is told to contact his mother, Candice Cooley ((208) 604-3839).
