I've been here since almost day one. It's so sad we're still hashing out the same questions about Barbara's attire, and whether it makes any sense that the couple was in the desert with a beer (because we have nothing else to talk about.) ![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Here's a new question for those who are skeptical of Robbie's account:
Let's assume for a second he IS telling the whole truth in the interviews. Pretend you were in his shoes and a reporter asked you what you think happened to Barbara. If he is telling the truth, he knows she is not anywhere in the area, at least visibly so, and he knows there was a short window between the time he last saw her and she went missing. So what could he say when asked his opinion of what happened?
a) She fell into a mine shaft or crack in the earth that has yet to be discovered
b) She was taken by a large animal
c) She was abducted by passersby as she crossed the road
d) She is under an unknown rock formation, where she succumbed to a medical emergency (although he knows law enforcement has checked everywhere they can think of)
d) She was abducted by aliens or Bigfoot
Which of these options makes the most sense for him to say out loud in an interview? Assuming he is innocent, I feel sure he has thought through every one of these scenarios and is still guessing and grasping at straws as we all are.
Again, play along with me for a moment, and assume he IS telling the truth. Law enforcement asks what she is wearing. He says she's wearing her black bikini top, red hat, etc. My guess is, lo and behold, there on his phone is a photo of her in that same outfit, so that's what they post, regardless of how old and blurry the photo is. So now, people are giving him a hard time for not showing current pictures of her. I'm pretty sure my dad has never taken one picture of my mom, and they're in that age bracket (he had a phone he never, ever used - mom made him get one). My mom has taken some pictures of my dad, but they include the grandkids or other people. They're not in the "selfie" generation.
We know for a fact it wasn't unusual for Barbara to wear a black bikini top and red hat because we have a picture of her in that outfit. We don't know if that would be strange for her to wear in the desert, but she is very tanned. There are at least a few self-proclaimed "desert rats" on here who have said it would be unusual, but certainly not of the question. I personally would fry to a crisp in an hour out there, but we're not talking about me back here on the East Coast, we're talking about someone who loves the desert sun.
Sorry for the long post. I just had to get a couple of ideas off my chest. This case is keeping me awake at night. I'm afraid the thread is moving too fast for me and I just wanted to chime in while I can. Love you guys and all you do for the missing.
