Possibly another victim.
Someone has got to know how much Devlin weighed back when this boy went missing.
Agreed.
This is such an interesting and mysterious development. Does this mean that Devlin perhaps kept Arlin captive for 6 years? What happened to him after that? Did Shawn meet Arlin? How many other children has Devil messed with? So many questions...
Looks like Devlin likes em YOUNG. If you were a pedophile and they get OLDER, what do you do with the boy when he is older? A pedophile doesn't want to go to prison. So, he kills them or gets a replacement and kills the older one in front front of the replacement to terrorize them and make sure they don't try to get away or "that could happen to YOU and your family... "

That's just my guess.
I have no doubt that Michael Devlin is a monster..just how depraved a monster he actually is, I doubt most of us can even fathom.
That is just evil!
I hope Shawn has the courage to NAIL this guy.
I hope Shawn realizes he has no more need to FEAR or be terrified of this monster. Then, I pray he starts talking - even if it means breaking the hearts of these parents - it would bring closure to them and Devlin would be punished.
I did have that thought, too.
It is. It is.
Shawn has to step up. Much rests of his shoulders. I pray he has the courage to do so.

That's the only way I can rationalize his reluctance to not escape - just TERRIFIED of what he knows about Devlin and what he has SEEN Devlin DO.
PING
this is huge and if a professional can confirm the pic was Arlin, Devlin is going down big time!
This case is like a train wreck. It's terrifying, but still it's hard to look away. My heart breaks for these kids.
Yes I'm sure he was absolutely terrified. But the repeated sexual abuse is terrifying and humiliating enough to keep a child under a perv's control. It's hard for us to imagine, but then we haven't been through what Shawn and other kids have been through. Whether we can imagine it or not is irrelevant.
It's horrible. Ben was LUCKY - only four days of this monster - as Shawn put it - "he hung in there ...".
