Some students said Thursday they had long considered him "weird" or "creepy," and not only for the black trench coat he wore nearly every day.
One remembers him coming to school one day in full face paint, dressed up as a sort of gothic clown with a top hat. The student also mentioned his dark personality, evidenced by charcoal drawings of "people with their mouths sewn shut and eyes with nails through them dripping blood."
One classmate remembers him signing yearbooks with a mysterious, pentagram-like symbol.
The family friend who frequently visits Hunsaker Canyon and organized a hike in the area earlier this year called Dyleski a sweet kid.
"I think he resented the fact that his family was not as normal as everyone else's," he said.
Thats the thing about kids, they quickly pick up on disfunction and some just freak out from the shame. Some worse than others obviously.
