Good post, I agree with most of what you said. I think BM possibly had thought about/mulled over killing SM before Mother’s Day weekend, 2020 and just hadn’t put together/planned it all out.
I also think it’s possible he was waiting/hoping she would succumb to cancer but it was taking too long/Suzanne was beating the odds, so he was mulling and mulling over killing her for a couple years and possibly started seriously thinking about it six months before Mother’s Day weekend 2020, about the time she was celebrating finding out her cancer was in remission which iirc was somewhere around Oct/Nov 2019.
I believe BM found out about the affair at some point via possible spying/looking at her phone etc., and on Saturday afternoon he drove home seething after SM had been ignoring his calls. Basically, I think it all came to a head in his mind, the perfect storm if you will. Between getting the “I’m done” text a mere few days prior, she’s having an affair! She’s ignoring my calls while talking/sexting with her lover!
BM was panicking in his mind driving home that Saturday afternoon with all of the above going through his head becoming angrier and angrier i.e., how dare she!, she’s not leaving and taking the money and everything I’ve worked so hard for!, no one leaves me!!, I’ll show her!! all these thoughts racing through his head while he’s driving home working himself into an anger fueled rage. I can just picture it when he arrived home at 2:44pm seeing red so to speak, thrust his vehicle into park and jumped out of his truck without closing the door! He was in a full blown rage, running around the property and the house looking for SM. Came upon the locked master bedroom door. Busted door in. Struggle between the two ensued. BM overtook her and strangled her to death.
Not sure about if he used the tranq gun/tranq dart to subdue her before killing her that afternoon but it’s possible he did since he admitted to running around the property gun in hand after arriving home (shooting chipmunks (insert enormous eyeroll)), and admitted he disposed of tranq materials in Broomfield. It’s also posdible he had a 2nd working tranq gun that he disposed of on his trash run odyssey, who knows.
At any rate, tranq or no tranq, imo he hunted her down at the house whether he chased her or whether she was already behind the locked bedroom door when he got home and he was running around looking for her, imo it ended with him breaking in the bedroom door, overtaking her and killing her imo strangled her to death. Everything that followed was clearly a man in a panic, up all night cleaning and loading his truck with incriminating evidence to be dumped in Broomfield, staging bike and helmet, shallow grave burial, going to (fake) “job” on Sunday/Morher’s Day when work was not allowed by city ordinance/no work permit etc.
I cannot imagine the terror and fear Suzanne felt in her final moments on earth as BM silenced her forever.
Let’s hope her voice is finally heard in court at future BM trial…waiting….tick tock..
IMHOO
