 Mark Redwine's arrest in Bellingham, Washington, followed a grand jury indictment for second-degree murder and child abuse resulting in death. Mark Redwine is now being held on a $1 million cash-only bond, according to a La Plata County Sheriff's Office news release. 
 
 Mark Redwine and Elaine Hall, the boy's mother, had gone through a contentious divorce and custody battle. Mark Redwine has denied any involvement in Dylan's death. 
 
 Dylan went missing in November 2012 while visiting his father for Thanksgiving. Some of his remains were found about 10 miles from his father's home in Vallecito in 2013. DNA testing confirmed they were Dylan's remains, CBS Denver reported. 
 
 Dylan's skull was found by hikers in 2015, and forensic anthropologists said the skull had injuries consistent with blunt force trauma at two locations, the indictment said. 
 
 Surveillance video from the airport where Dylan's flight arrived shows little or no interaction between the boy and his father, according to the indictment. Several witnesses said Dylan did not want to visit his father, after the two argued and fought during his previous visit. 
 
 Text messages showed that Dylan had asked to stay with a friend on the night of his arrival, but Mark Redwine denied the request, the indictment said. Next morning the boy's friend sent a text to Dylan asking "where are you" and got no response. 
 
 Mark Redwine's prosecution will begin once he is extradited back to Colorado, CBS Denver reports. 
 
 "The La Plata County Sheriff's Office, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, and Federal Bureau of Investigation have invested thousands of hours in investigating this case," says the La Plata County Sheriff's Office news release. 
 
 Mark Redwine and Hall leveled accusations at each other during appearances on the syndicated "Dr. Phil" TV show in 2013 as the case drew national attention, the Denver Post reported. 
 
 Shortly after Dylan's disappearance, bracelets imprinted with "Find Dylan Redwine" sold for $5 each to raise money for the search, the Post reported. Volunteers scoured a forest near Lake Vallecito. A benefit dinner, Crime Stoppers and assorted donors raised $50,000 in a single month to offer as a reward, the newspaper reported.
– Nearly five years after the disappearance of 13-year-old Dylan Redwine in Colorado stirred national concern, the police have arrested his father for his murder. Mark Redwine was charged on Saturday with second-degree murder and child abuse resulting in death, CBS News reports. Dylan disappeared in 2012 while visiting his father in Vallecito, Colorado, for Thanksgiving, a trip that followed a contentious divorce between Mark Redwine and Dylan's mother, Elaine Hall. Authorities say Hall reported her son missing the day after his arrival. Some of the boy's remains were discovered 10 miles away from Redwine's home in 2013 and his skull was found by hikers two years later. The skull showed injuries consistent with blunt force trauma. During the course of the nearly five-year, multi-agency investigation, officials found Dylan's blood in his father's living room, and cadaver dogs were able to determine that a dead body had been in the older man's home and the bed of his truck, CNN reports. According to the indictment, Redwine and Hall were in the midst of a bitter custody battle at the time of Dylan's disappearance and the boy was not happy about visiting his father. Redwine is currently being held by police in Bellingham, Washington, on a cash-only $1 million bond. His prosecution will begin once he is extradited back to Colorado.
