Here is the basic run down of what lead up to his E&E, mind you that this is just about THIS case and not about the case in which the Feds tried to crucify him with bogus weapon charges. Keep in mind that during this time he is constantly being told that he is done for. Also that from the beginning when they started searching for evidence they stole things unrelated to the case but were important to his role in inspiring the patriot movement. He was flat out told that he would never be making videos or speeches again.
Remember, as was stated in the blog post, the "system" (i.e. Judge, sheriff, prosecutor) was railroading him, denying chances to reveal evidence and plead his case.
Right before the house fire he and his lawyer ask for a continuation and the request is denied.
While he is away (thank god) someone torches his house, ALONG WITH SOME EVIDENCE.
The blame is IMMEDIATELY put on Charles, the militia and the Oath Keepers.
At this point Charles fearing for his life goes into hiding. (OH sure, turn himself over to the system, which has been aimed at him like a loaded gun, to take care of him and keep him safe. sounds smart to me...)
At this point there is an ALL OUT MANHUNT for a man
ACCUSED of committing a crime. The steps they took to TRY to find him were unreal and something you would think he was carrying around Osama in a duffel bag with him then...

http://www.committee.org/cdc/SI01.htmDuring the time of his E&E the Feds made attempts to use Charles flight to entrap and take down at least a couple more patriots. These were, at least for the ones that I know about, unsuccessful .
Finally realizing the amount of brute force that the powers that be are willing to bring against him, Charles surrenders himself to a local Sheriff in Texas.
Charles Dyer was taken down because he was such an influential person within the patriot movement. I know the man and believe wholeheartedly in his innocence. His case as well as the events surrounding it were a clear cut assault on a patriot and the movement and the PTB were ready for a war because of it. Literally. But alas, when they took him down many got scared and fled, the PTB won that battle.
BTW Walker, I am assuming by your comments that you know nothing about Oklahoma's version of Child Protective Service and the "system" in general. This is a very biased and nightmarish system where the mother can, except in extreme cases, do no wrong. And the system itself gives no damn about the children, only the money they can make off of them. It would take NOTHING for someone within the system to manipulate a child to that degree.
Many lives were ruined by this event, but especially those of Charles, his little girl, his parents, and his girlfriend.
