Major update in case of missing teen farmer Dylan Rounds after officials issue warning over his mystery disappearance

A MAJOR update has been revealed in the search for a farmer missing for over a month after a “weird run-in” with a man on a dirt road.

Dylan Rounds’ family last heard from the 19-year-old by phone on May 28 before he seemingly disappeared without a trace.

His family suspects foul play, which investigators haven’t ruled out as tips and a large-scale search have produced no clues as to where he is.

“If somebody is involved with Dylan’s disappearance, they need to know we’re not going to go away,” said Chief Deputy Cade Palmer of the Box Elder County Sheriff’s Office.

“If this takes months, if it takes years, we’ll keep knocking on doors.” 

To add to the mystery, Rounds’ boots were found by police yards from his grain truck in the opposite direction of his RV camper in Lucin, Utah.

The boots had a spot of blood on them, which his mother, Candice Cooley, found odd.

“At that point, it should have been treated as foul play,” she told .

“You just don’t see someone’s boots in the desert that’s missing.”

A spokesperson for the FBI confirmed that they are working with Box Elder County deputies in the investigation.

“We routinely offer our assistance and resources to our law enforcement partners,” said spokeswoman Sandra Barker to .

Cooley said she was thankful that the agency was taking her son’s case but criticized local authorities, saying their support to the family hasn’t been the best.

“When Box Elder County came out, they came out Monday, May 30,” she said, adding that investigators had done a good job at first.

“But by the next day, when they come out, and the sheriffs and everybody came back out, it was around 2, 3 in the afternoon — they called it.
