A Colorado father has been found guilty killing of his son after the boy found pictures of him wearing a red bra and eating feces from a diaper.
Mark Redwine, 59, was convicted by a unanimous jury on Friday and was found guilty on charges of second-degree murder and child abuse resulting in the 2012 death of his son Dylan Redwine.
He faces up to 48 years in prison for the murder conviction and his sentencing hearing has been set for 9 a.m. on October 8.
Redwine was indicted in 2017 in connection with the disappearance of Dylan, 13, who was reported missing on Nov. 19, 2012, while on a court-ordered Thanksgiving visit to his father's home outside the city of Durango.

The boy's father did not show any visible reaction when the verdicts were read as he stood with his hands clasped in front of him. Before the verdicts were read, Redwine had nervously fiddled with his tie while sporting a black button-down shirt.
'This has been an extremely difficult case for everybody involved. It has been difficult for the parties, for the attorneys, for their staff, and difficult for the families and the entire community,' the judge said before the verdict was read.
'This case has taken a lot of resources from the entire state as well as La Plata County. The planning to get this case to go as well as it did was extensive.'
The judge added: ‘Emotions are running very high from both sides, however this is a court of law. I expect everyone in this courtroom to behave appropriately.’
Dylan Redwine's remains were found a few miles from his father´s home in 2013, and hikers found his skull in 2015.
Prosecutors argued Redwine killed Dylan in a fit of rage after they argued over embarrassing photos of him wearing women's lingerie and eating feces from a diaper.
Dylan's older brother testified in June that Dylan found the photos a year before he went missing.
The boys had accidentally discovered the pictured on their father's computer during a road trip in 2011 and looked at them in a locked bathroom while their father slept.
Dylan's brother Cory Redwine took his own photos to save on his phone. He said during cross-examination that he sent copies of the compromising photos to his father in August 2012, while Dylan and Mark Redwine were alone on a trip together.

Dylan knew about the photos and was not harmed on that trip, despite the texting confrontation between Cory and Mark Redwine.
Cory called his father an '(expletive)-eating coward' and said 'you are what you eat,' according to text messages revealed in court in June.
In response, Mark Redwine texted back 'not to hurt Dylan,' public defender John Moran said.
Mark Redwine also called Cory a thief for taking the photos and said he was 'trying to hurt him' just like his mother, with whom he was then in a contentious custody battle.
Cory had testified that the accidental discovery of photos ruined Dylan's relationship and image of his father.
'Dylan lost any reason for him to look up to Mark that day,' Cory Redwine said.
He told the court his younger brother was 'pretty disgusted' and said he wanted to use the photos as leverage in
