I realize we probably will never know the answer to this and I know the prosecution doesn’t have to prove it in court can only offer theories as to: WHY did BM choose to use BAM in his dastardly deed as neither they nor us were there nor can we know what was going on in BM’s head (scary place imo) unless he decides to confess and I personally do not see BM ever confessing. Not a chance imo. Anyway, inquiring minds/true crime aficionados (particularly me lol) want to know- WHY did BM use BAM on SM?
After all, he’s a fairly big guy and could easily overpower the tiny SM and kill her on his own/use his own hands without any help from BAM. Also, he had access to other guns/rifles and could have shot her with one of those (although I’m sure he knew shooting her at the house with one of those guns would be too messy). Anyway, my point is, he was much bigger and stronger than SM and even with SM putting up a fight/trying to get away, imo he was more than capable of overpowering her and beating and/or strangling her to death without any help from BAM. IMO.
My understanding is that in most settings BAM is administered in measured doses and used to immobilize wildlife for handling, and Veterinarians administer it to animals for sedation purposes before certain procedures. In higher doses and/or depending where/what body part it’s gets injected, it can kill an animal (or human) in a matter of minutes and btw, it is virtually unheard of for use in humans! Yet this imo non-human evil creep BM, used it on a human-his wife!!
Moving on, BM admittedly had access to BAM and had used it on animals (deer) and the autopsy confirmed it was a contributing factor in the commission of imo BM’s heinous crime. Now, getting back to my questions as to why he used it. I wonder if BM used BAM intending it to kill SM quickly as in 2-3 minutes after injection so he wouldn’t have to use his bare hands and possibly didn’t measure the dose correctly/not enough to kill quickly, OR was it his intention to use just enough to immobilize/incapacitate her for some reason prior to killing her.
In other words, sorry to be graphic- did he just get some sick thrill from terrorizing Suzanne, shooting her with the dart and chasing her down hunting his prey before going in for the kill, and/or did he possibly intend to rape (ugh) a semi conscious SM before killing her via imo strangling her to death? Possibly both? In any case, whatever his intention was, she was able to put up somewhat of a fight before succumbing due to the scratches and fingernail gauges on his left arm. My next question, what did he do with/where did he put her body from roughly 3pm to 10pm before transporting her under the cover of darkness to burial site in Moffat?
Now, some have theorized he used the BAM to incapacitate her with the intention of taking an unconscious SM to the gravesite and killing her there so as to leave no trace of decomp at the house.
I’m not a fan of this theory because wouldn’t he have to keep administering enough tranq in between to keep her in unconscious state over a 7 hour period (3pm-10pm). Or did he know how much of a dose to give to keep her unconscious for that long-7 hours?!?
Is that even possible???? (I haven’t read everything yet so I really don’t know but I know some here probably do and apologies if it’s already been discussed I’m a little behind still catching up on the thread/posts).
Anyway, in this scenario, again, what did he do with her/where did he put her for roughly 7 hours? Did he leave her on the floor or bed and check on her and dose her again and again until he was ready to move her, or did he put her on the trailer outside and she ended up dying there from an overdose of BAM (cadaver dog hits on trailer) and when BM realized this, panicked and had to shift gears/switch up his plans because he now has an already dead SM he needed to transport to Moffat and scrambling to figure out which non-family vehicle (no dog hits on any of the family vehicles) he had access to to transport her body??? Idk but for me, too many mental gymnastics to make this scenario work.
At any rate, whether he shot her outside with a tranq gun or whether he manually injected/stabbed her with the loaded syringe, and whether he expected the BAM to kill her shortly after getting shot or stabbed with the needle, or expected it to just incapacitate her for whatever reason (see above) before killing her with his own hands, or whether he intended to keep her unconscious and kill her at the gravesite, he had to do something with either an unconscious or already dead Suzanne from 3pm-10pm as imo there is no way BM would drive ANY vehicle with an unconscious or already dead Suzanne and kill (if unconscious), dig grave, and bury her, do all this in broad daylight. No way would he take that kind of risk imo, the fact that it doesn’t fit the timeline, notwithstanding.
One last thing and apologies for rambling post of my thoughts/questions scrambling around in my head. Since cadaver dogs hit on the trailer and seat of the bobcat, I theorize he got decomp on him after he realized she was dead on the trailer from possibly an unintended overdose of the BAM sedatives he’d been giving her to keep her unconscious for 7 hours (I need to read more about whether that’s even possible), or imo more likely got it on himself/his clothes after carrying an already dead Suzanne to put her on the trailer while he waited for nightfall to transport her, and went near or sat directly on the seat of the bobcat to do something/possibly retrieve something??? Or…or…or??? IMO that is why he washed his shorts to get rid of decomp forgetting about the needle sheath in his pocket. I’m sure that was a real gotcha moment for investigators. Lo and behold, investigators were right all along. BAM!!
Kudos to all LE involved!!!
Again, sorry for the long rambling post and thank you for your patience lol.
IMHOO
