No family should EVER have to work so hard to push law enforcement to do their job. I’d love to know how often law enforcement take a case seriously, where the family insists the situation is totally out of character, and needs to be investigated, only to find out it was a false alarm?
It’s not what you know, it’s what you can prove. Often times Police know who committed the crime but they don’t have the evidence they need to prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt. If they bring a case to trial to early without the proper evidence and lose, they don’t get a second chance. The wheels of Justice turn slow and oftentimes it’s best to have patience.
@@steveniemyer9288 That has nothing to do with investigators laughing at the family and complaining about having to drive so long to get to the farm. They simply did not take the case seriously at first, they didn't take anything the family said seriously, and they didn't want to deal with it. They were forced to with the media attention and the FBI becoming involved.
@@Leslie_Knope 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@Ocean Lover That's why this family has had to get so many outside resources involved to help search for their son. The police have refused to help from the beginning. It's very obvious how little that department cares about finding a missing person. I can't imagine living in that town and having to rely on that callous police force.
At least they finally found the killer. They should have done so much more, but at least they caught the guy who did it. I just hope they find their son so they can get some closure.
Lazy police effing police. The parents should sue them!
He was so different from a typical 19 year old! He seems as though he had an Ol School Soul… able to take care of a farm all on his own! This is heartbreaking! I weep for these parents! May God be with them! 🙏🏾
I just posted the same thing.
Why is wasting your youth working syour body to death for crumbs an admirable thing. But someone who worked their brain and became successful in a city setting isnt...
@@coloradohikertrash9958 as one just said. He thinks there is only honor in killing your body for crumbs. No honor in designing new medicine or spending g 12 years to just be able to apprentice. Manual labor isn't honorable
Well said! 💔
Only 19, Dylan Rounds seemed like a rare salt of the earth, hard working young man with wisdom of an old soul beyond his 19 years here on earth. His parents horrific loss is immeasurable.
This degenerate James Brenner should’ve been behind bars but instead was allowed to remain free to prey upon innocent victims. This monster snatched the life of this amazing young man, Dylan Rounds & the bright future he’d have surly contributed to society! 😢
@@ScootsMcPoot I'm pretty sure his family already had quite a bit of money. A 200k reward even for a well known case is very large.
Love these sweet parents. They were cheering him on while he was pursuing his dreams. ❤️ We should all
be so lucky to have that kind of love and support.. Clearly they are still his biggest supporters. Sending love and light to them as they continue to battle for justice for their son. ❤️❤️
Its sad those generations of farmers land was sold off Reagan Admin
Hed be on a huge family plot
That was safe
U pray for them
Yes, they raised a hard-working son.
I agree. I just hate the way Candace and Justin were talked about all this time. people sit back and judge others for making decisions they wouldn't make themselves. I admire them for supporting Dylan while he pursued his dream and what happened to him is tragic and unfortunate. People are losing their sense of humanity at alarming rates a
nd it's become a scary place to live.
The fact they are divorced and still were a team this entire time is also beautiful to see. Kids number 1 no matter what.
@@peggybaby0894 - I AGREE 100%!! I have mad respect for two adults who can co-parent successfully... even when faced with tragedy. 😔
There was always something about the mom I thought was so determined and strong-willed, I am glad she is getting closure and hope they find his body to give him a proper memorial.
Dylan's mother has been extraordinary in her determination to find Dylan.
His parents are tenacious and fierce advocates for Dylan and I know they are going to ensure that their son's death will mean something. The legacy they are creating in Dylan's name will help other families when a loved one goes missing. Amazing people.
In fairness his father Justin has been there through it all also. He just doesn’t seem to get as much talk time. He seems like a man of few words, but Candice has an “in charge” personality also.
He was lucky to have 2 good parents and grandparents to help him with his dreams.
@@MsJamnation Dustin Rounds & Candice divorced when Dylan was 4 years of age. His father admitted to cheating on Candice, the divorce, people have said was a very painful & bitter one. So, maybe his parents don't like to be around each other. That would be my guess. When there are 2 parents of a child that goes missing, it's usually the one with the more dominant personality who does most of the talking. Sometimes the mother, sometimes the father.
In the case of Dylan Rounds, it's his mother.
In reality, getting justice is at the heart of the matter, less about meting out credit.
@@FreeSpirit47 his parents have been doing interviews together and looking for him around each other since he went missing.
Their marriage or divorce is none of my business. I was just stating I’ve seen his father working just as hard as his mother in finding him. In response to the comment about how much his mother has done. My point was Just because he is talked over or doesn’t say as much to the interviewer doesn’t mean he’s not doing as much.
This is long overdue. Those poor parents have been telling everyone who was involved for months now. My heart breaks for them.
I think they've known for a while, but wanted absolute proof before charging him. Box Elder definitely drag their feet initially though. At least he was arrested a few months ago for probation/weapon violation and has been locked up on those charges.
It is definitely about time and the Law enforcers who wouldn’t listen to these parents should hang their heads in shame. I am disgusted at the way these parents were treated. My heart is broken for these loving parents 💔💔🙏🙏
There's some good law enforcement officers out there, but it's surprizing how many bad one's their are. The community pays these individuals well with full benifits and medical and retirement. Yet many dont seem to even know what their responsibilities are or put forth the effort to do them. Discusting excuses.
It's horrible. This kid when you look into him a little bit seemed like he was a great young man and quite special. The type of young person we need the most today but have the fewest of. It's especially aggravating.
I really love your comment. You're special too. I can tell by how you recognized Dylan's uniqueness. It's the little things that truly show who a person is. 🤜🤛
💜, Sadie
I would love to see some old west justice brought down on james, or even American Indian style punishment... make him eat honey for days and tie him to a canoe in spring time, push him out into the middle of a lake. Let him b bird and fish food, for nature's sake
Yup I agree. I would be so proud to have a son so hard working and is kind to people. It is so sad that you can help out useless bums like James Brenner, just for them to do this to you. I would hope Brenner goes to death row for what he did to this kid.
I agree 100% we need more like him, especially nowadays!!
⁰
I can’t imagine the pain these parents are going through. My heart breaks for them he is obviously a special young man😭
I can. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
💓
@@J.C...😢❤
I've been following this story since the beginning and my heart breaks for Candace and Justin. To finally have an arrest after all this time must be bittersweet and although that pain will always be there some healing can now begin. Continued prayers for you.
I feel healing will likely never happen until they find his remains
Watching Dylan's mom speak should be a sign to people that just because we aren't seeing her shed any tears, doesn't mean her heart isn't shattered. People are always so quick to judge family members by how they present themselves in interviews when we don't know what they're like when the cameras are off.
That's because her main focus was to get justice for her son. Everyone grieves differently and trying work hard for justice!!!!! She grieves behind the scenes. Leave her alone!!!!
Then actually... You don't know how she's feeling either and you might be wrong
RIP Dylan. Keeping his parents in our prayers.
I Live here in south Utah county and just seeing how they've put the exposure of this case that applied the pressure they were saying they were needing. Nothing but respects to the sheer tenacity of the young man's parents who have been seeking justice for their son.
Same as the Alex Murdaugh case. Thank goodness for these types of media outlets.
Just a young man with a simple dream of having his own farm, and a jealous devil ripping off his life and dream just like that.
So sad that a sweet young man was taken away from his family. Evil exists and hopefully justice will be served.
Beautiful loving common sense parents. RIP Dylan Rounds, what a loved smart hardworking young man 🙏.
The pictures of Dylan as a little boy are killing me. I can't imagine their heartbreak. Such a tragic unnecessary loss
Young man always didn't seemed to have been a boy for a long time respect his drive wish thos never happened
Thank you Candice and Justin for letting us get to know your amazing young man. Strong headed, strong willed... runs in the family and what a good trait to pass on.
💔
My son is the same age...this case is so devastating...Wishing Dylan's family peace 🕯
My heart just hurts for this family. I know what it’s like to lose a child. Mine was also 19. However not in the same manner. So I couldn’t imagine going through this especially after a year. What a horrible man! This young man was more of a man than him. We need more young men willing to work hard and appreciate it. God bless this family. Justice for Dylan! 🙏🏼♥️
I feel so badly for these parents, because the law owes them so much better. We've been watching this playout for so long now, who'd have thought that LE knew this the whole time? Absolutely astounding 🤬
Not only did Law Enforcement let the parents down - but all of the horrific gossip and erroneous misalignment of the family as well as the victim, Dylan Rounds, himself !! People out there should be ashamed whom ever said one ill word against these good people. Rest in Love, Dylan. May your family find Peace.
People in these comments spreading those lies and gossip like an std. It's vile.
I can't believe those cops mocked them, it's so messed up! :(
If they had done their job, Dylan might have been recovered shortly after. They made the investigation more difficult to carry out with the delay. I pray the Lord guides them to Dylan in the Spring.
I’m so happy for the family they are finally getting answers hopefully they can bring Dylan home soon ❤❤❤
What a tragedy, my condolences to Dylans family.
Both parents seem to be holding it together but I think it'll hit them like a freight train when they (hopefully) recover Dylans body and they have to bury him.
With two adult kids I can't begin to imagine the pain they must be feeling, my heart goes out to them.
I agree. They are on a mission that started when Dylan wasn’t at his camper that day when nobody could reach him.
I’m sure the grief will come full force when they get closure and bring Dylan home. I worry about them both every interview I’ve watched. They are very strong people. Stronger than I could be if it was one of mine.
Bizzare that there is a video. These poor parents have suffered so much. Just heart breaking.
A video?
Why does Evil generally choose the good, kind, nice people?
😢
As a mother of a son the same age I feel absolutely disgusted in the police & they way these distraught parents were treated.
Such a sad case. The family deserves to know what happened. So much suspicious stuff going on in that county.
People are saying the same things with the Alex Murdaugh case. What is happening 😔
Prayers for Dylan's family. It is about time there is justice for your son, may you bring him home soon.
Thank you for covering this story in depth. This family has been tireless in the search for their son and deserve to have their story out there. The news coverage, publicity and the constant pressure generated by the family are what has oved this case forward. I wish the best for the parents.
Brenner should have been arrested when he was at the grain shed along with Dylans parents, when there was already a felony warrant for his arrest!
Truth. I guess these officers never watched an episode of "Cops".
This case is so senseless and heartbreaking! Sending my condolences to the family and friends of Dylan 😔💔🙏🕊
I’ve been watching them fighting the police the whole year. Shouldn’t be like that when your son is an obvious victim of foul play. Sick of police incompetence
Here the problem yes they was fighting to get the police to do more. Yes the first one didn't really do what they should do. But once the other ones got involved they was still fighting but the police was working the case. You can't just arrest someone because the parents think that he did it. Its not about what you think it is about what you prove. Then once he was arrest on other charges he wasn't going to go anywhere so the police takes the time to get a solid case against him. Its really hard to get a case solved in a day or even a month when you have no information you have to build the case and get the information to have a good case. You have parents that are just wanting justice and they do anything to get it including blaming the wrong people. Police have to have evidence to do go on to make arrest. What looks really slow to the outside even his parents can actually be going fast within the police department it just that one LE knows what is going on because they don't want some to leak it and cause more problems. Been several cases in the last few years that parents said LE is not going anything and come to find out they had guys under watch getting evidence and looking back at different things. These people was in jail on other charges and there was no point to rush the case and mess something up and once everything gets told to the victims its like o so you was working on the case. But they never get Im sorry or anything LE just look bad but was actually doing what they should of been all along and keeping as much information to themselves so it didn't ruin the case.
@@johnunsicker7440 Jesus Christ I’m not reading that. Obviously I’m talking about the police handling it wrong, not disclosing the investigation to the public.
@@johnunsicker7440 like I know how the legal system works. that whole paragraph is so unnecessary
@@johnunsicker7440 mansplaining to the extreme
@@alfobootidir2474 They can't disclose details only the killer would know.Sometimes they need to keep things close to the vest.On the other hand not listening to the family of the victim is a very bad sign when it happens in investigations.
Hearing his parents talk about how much he LOVED the hard work of farming was so heartwarming. ❤💔
This case really hit me hard I think of that poor young man daily
The point they were worried about about him working alone in farming and having an accident is actually much more propbably than being murdered.. so sad.
Candice and Justin have fought tirelessly to get justice for Dylan. They have showed so much strength. I don’t believe they have really had a chance to grieve the loss of their son. I really hope they can find peace. Sending them love and prayers.
There needs to be a complete shake up of law enforcement in your area! This is outrageous how they treated you and your family!! I'm so sorry for all that has happened to your family. RIP Dylan ❤
600,000 people go missing a year. Elko county (Nevada side of where this happened), is 17,000 square miles, patrolled by 27 sheriffs out of a City 3 hours away. It's sad what happened, but it's a risk everyone takes when you go out on your own.......
That Police department should be ashamed of themselves. I really hope they’ve learned lessons from this tragedy.
Very brave parents to have come out and spoken of their experience,to this point. ❤️
I feel so sorry for these parents but man, they never gave up not once and they kept going even after police seemed to give up. I am so so sorry for your loss.
Any parents would..
That young man looks just like his father and he’s built small framed like his mother and he looks like the sweetest person and you can just tell that he’s a good young man and he was hard working and he was reaching his goals in life it’s just so sad that his life was taken away from him and his family my heart breaks for them . I hope that I never have to imagine what they’re going through bless their hearts and pray that they get justice for their son .
Knowing why is not going to help you. The only person that knows the answer to that is definitely not going to tell you. I'm so sorry for your loss and I hope you find some peace. RIP buddy
So devastating. I pray the family finds him.
My heart goes out to Dylan’s family and rest in peace Dylan. What a shame and loss of a good young man 😢 I hope that creep never sees freedom every again. 🙏🏼
Hopefully he meets the maker from receiving the ultimate sentence…
This story has been absolutely heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this devastating loss. 💔 This world is so full of evil.
no one is safe to be on their own anymore. there's always someone looking for a target
Another example of people who will amount to nothing take away the ones that could make a difference in this jacked up world! So sad! RIP Dylan!
What a beautiful family, Rest In Peace Dylan your mom and dad are doing you proud
Dylan's parents are amazing. I hope they find their son soon.
Very sorry all of this is happening. I hope they have enough to get the longest conviction possible. Prayers for locating your son. 🙏 🤍🙏
Brenner will be convicted. He's going to spend the rest of his worthless existence behind bars.
so sad these parents are strong beyond belief. I dont even understand how can they remain so composed and understanding
This is great a lot of cases have been solved with circumstantial evidence and convictions as well. Nowadays, a body doesn't necessarily need to be found to convict.
Like many people, I've followed this story from the beginning. Many prayers have been sent. I continue to pray for this family & am so sorry for their tragic loss. With so many spoiled, ungrateful & entitled jerks, it breaks my heart that this beautiful, strong, intelligent & good young man is gone.
I pray his body is found & finally laid to rest. God bless this family, especially his amazing parents. ❤ RIP Dylan Rounds.
I admire Dylans parents so very much, their strength, their fight, determination and love for their beautiful boy they raised Dylan.
They remind me of young Daniel Morcombes parents from Brisbane Australia who have made their life mission to protect all children
RIP Dylan
And Daniel
Gone way too soon
Thank you for doing this piece, my heart breaks for these parents. I just want to hug them. The video of the sunset over the field was spectacular, thank them for sharing that with us. My prayers are with you both 🙏
🙋♀️ Without Candice the mighty beast woman - a term of endearment & major respect - and Dylan's father keeping on local LE and never letting up, this probably would have gone cold. They’re amazing! Any child would be fortunate to have such wonderful parents.
I hope they find Dylan soon so he can be laid to rest. RIP, sweet Dylan.
And Justin too.
That's tragic. Honestly my heart breaks for this family.
His poor parents. They are very much going to miss the “guess what” stories. So heartbreaking!
Please isn't there someone with a special gift like Tyler Henry They can help this family find their son?
I realized I always did the same thing when calling my parents back in the day. It never seemed this story would have a positive outcome after the first few weeks but I continued to hope. I hope these people finally get the closure they deserve.
So creepy and sad. I’m so sorry This beautiful boy lost his life
Shame on every officers that did that. Karma will get you! 😢 What they did to the family made me cry. But really sucked is when others are trying to convince you that you do not know your loved ones well enough to know something's wrong.
I have followed this case since day one and if this family ever at any point considers suing the Box Elder Police, I will help donate to the fund. How they have treated this case and this family from day one is absolutely ludicrous.
A sweet nice clean cut Man, Was so sad, Had a dream and was following it, Not hurting any one,
So sad that the Sheriff's office was so inhumane at worst and neglectful at best. Pleased your hard work has finally paid off and they NOW have enough evidence to make the charge real and the perp gets what is coming to him. RIP Dylan.
My heart goes out to his parents, I simply cannot imagine.
RIP Young Man,
The pain these parents had to deal with because of police incompetence. I would hope after this trial, that the family sue the corrupt officers
This is a tragedy. He had his whole life in front of him 😢prayers for the family 🙏🏻
So sad but closure is coming for the family
Dylan's mom and dad are so strong. This poor kid. I pray they find him.
Sorry for your loss. Sending hugs. Praying that justice is served soon.🙏🙏🙏
As a parent, worst nightmare ever. Seeing Dylan's property, video from his father, that sunset... I feel Dylan is silently bringing God's Beauty to this moment. Prayers of Healing to all suffering that knew Dylan's life and loss of life. Love from The Farm, across The Border.
So very sad!. So much evil out in the world.
You should remain extremely proud of your intelligent son, bless you. I feel for you. From Ontario, Canada.🇨🇦 🫂🧠🕊️⚖️🕊️⚖️
It's so special when people know what they want from a very young age. We are surrounded by evil, folks. Please keep your guard up. RIP Dylan.
So sorry for your loss. So sorry for the way law infourcement treated this situation.
He was an old soul.❤
The more I learn about Dylan, the sadder I become. His murder is such a waste. He was a hard-working standup young man with so much to offer.
This is heart breaking, a smart hard working young man life taken for no reason.
So sad. My prayers go out to the family that they find justice and peace in Dylan's passing.
This seems to be the current trend in police work.
You are so right. This seems a problem all over the world.
Box Elder County Sheriff has A LOT of EXPLAINING to do.
The world lost some light when Dylan was stolen from us. XOXO to those who love him and rest peacefully now, Dylan 💜
I’m so sorry, this happened to him. I’m sorry to the parents for going through this.
If only kids these days were as motivated to work! Very very sad 💙
Pretty sure there are plenty of kids “these days” who are motivated to work.
These parents knew their son so well. He was truly known to his family and they fought for him -they’re still fighting for him. The sheriff’s department that refused to take Dylan’s disappearance seriously has much to answer for. There needs to be a complete investigation into their conduct. RIP DYLAN ROUNDS
Far from the truth about this so called mother
@@sssfsshtscfjyv7600 What's your weird problem with Candice you fokwit?
What was the motive?
What a total freaking loss. He already KNEW what he wanted from life. This kills me.
It absolutely sounds like Brenan is his killer. What an evil psychopath! I can't imagine the pain this family is going through. How do you get justice for something so cold blooded! Prayers for peace, comfort, and finding their son.
My condolences to the family and friends
Prayers for this family 🙏🏻 Long time coming
May justice be done!
Thank God the parents are moving toward justice for their beautiful son.
Can't the police be charged for neglect or something?
The depth of some people's evil never fails to surprise me. His Family will never heal, but I hope they can move on and find peace.
Rip Dylan
Sending love to Dylans mom , dad and family. ❤ may you get justice and your son found 🙏
I sure hope you find son soon, my thoughts and prayers 🙏 are with the family.🇨🇦🌻🌻
The young Man (he wasn't your typical modern 19 year old boy going on 11) .. was upstanding and a role model IMO. Amazing ethics. The best are being wiped out by evil.
So glad you are getting closer to getting this case resolved and on its way to court and then you can somewhat rest. You will never know normal again, but will feel better that you did Dylan proud and never gave up. Usually the victim can tell the story once a crime is committed. In this case it will be harder but it appears by your account it will still be enough to put the dirt bag away for life.
Why did this take so long, terrible for this family to be going through this. Just glad that they will get some justice.
So sorry for your loss and praying for justice for Dylan.
I kinda wanna see this video. That is incredible.
Know your neighbors. Make sure they know you have cameras.
Ah jeez my heart goes out to his parents. 😢
