No, it is not normal. It is incredibly childish. Maybe "childish" is who he really is, and is the reason for the predicament in which he now finds himself. To be fair, maybe his upbringing is to blame, I know very little about it. But you would think that by his age he would have outgrown it, if he had any moral fibre at all.

Upbringing and genes never excuse murder, IMO, however, they definitely can and do contribute to a narcissistic sociopath's tendencies. His mother was with him in the truck when Tyson Draper interviewed him. I don't believe Barry was looking for Suzanne - he was looking for 'something' and his mother knew that, IMO. No one in his family had any concern about Suzanne's whereabouts which is evident by not one of them speaking out or joining in any search or vigil.
He was soaking wet - either from sweat or having been in the river. I believe Barry did see him on the road before he doubled back and decided to speak to him - and I also believe Barry knew he was being videoed, hence the various 'stories' he tried to convince him of.
He IS emotionally stunted. He's like a bratty child when they can't have their way. I think most if not all narcissists are.

Which of these, more?

Looking forward to watching Agent Grusing in action?

Or looking forward to how much one particular person isn't looking forward to that?

"How could you do this to me? I trusted you."

Shoot. Well, not the weapon kind. Aw, shucks, shoot.

I don’t believe we say with certainty that BM’s family didn’t have concerns about SM’s whereabouts based on what we didn’t see in the public. We don’t know what happened behind closed doors. I didn’t expect them to join any public searches, specifically AM’s. It was well intentioned but a mess with the YouTube channel promoting it (specifically the unethical behavior of one) LE not being in favor of it. That’s also very tough terrain to search. I also didn’t expect them to participate in any public vigil either. This is their real life and I’m sure they were well aware from social media FB groups, as an example, people wanted their pound of flesh from them. IMO

Don’t lose sight that marriages are complex and we have insight into one side of this marriage only as told to friends and cannot discuss. But I would absolutely say it is not abusive for one partner to walk away in a heated argument…I have purposely removed myself from arguments to give us time to cool off so we can discuss whatever we were arguing about more calmly. Leaving is sometimes a smart thing to do in my opinion.

Leaving is an anger management tool that people are trained to do when their anger is so out of control they have no alternative. It's not the most powerful evidence that BM became rageful when discussing difficult issues with his wife, but it supports other evidence that he had great difficulty controlling his anger.

Totally agree with you, although I’m not entirely convinced that other people’s welfare would have been his primary reason for disappearing.

I can also see a cruel element to it as well. From Suzanne’s messages (“guess who’s alone again”) it seems she had a rather solitary existence. So to be left alone for days on end, especially if Barry had as reported previously put a gun to his head, and as per his text, said he wouldn’t be around for much longer - well that kind of behaviour would certainly be anxiety inducing that somebody may self harm. Not what a person battling cancer needs in any circumstances. And not when, in probability, he was shacked up with a “cute girl from Salida” with home being the last thing on his mind.

While everybody else was trying to make sense of the senseless (a bike, no Suzanne, Mother's Day, not her trail), Barry has moved past that with record speed. Lion. Moooooountaaaaaaain liiiion.

You know what else he fails to do?

See, his narrative consisted of Suzanne sleeping, then biking, with maybe a half cup of coffee between. No phone, no messaging, just straight to biking on a path she'd never bike on. It was his narrative that she'd gone biking between 8 and 9...alrighty then.

Barry offered nothing. No question, clue or direction to determine if possible when story-Suzanne left the house, nothing about checking this or that. Oh, my! Her bike shorts! Is it possible she came back home? Was she injured? Was she fine? Has she run off with someone?

How could Barry know story-Suzanne left in the morning? (He still can't account for ZERO digital footprint between story-Suzanne waking and leaving for a bike ride at any time.)

But for LE, can you help us out at all, Barry? Who last saw her, who last talked to her? Can we determine if she left closer to 8am or closer to 4pm? How many hours has she been unaccounted for?

Oh, whelp gulp.

Yeah, see, that's a problem.

Tripped up by her phone.

Bet he's wishing now he'd never let her have one.

In the witness list submitted by the prosecution there are two representatives from Tracfone. Tracfone prides itself on privacy and being relatively cheap (no contract).

The witness list is very long, but there are some interesting witnesses (company's) in that list...

Do they sell them in Mexico?

Edit: they do not. They don't even work in Mexico or anywhere outside of the US.

They were married for along time. I have to assume she was aware of his triggers and reactions. She was over her marriage that is clear. I don’t think we can make the assumption that either partner was cruel throughout their marriage. We have seen grievances from only one spouse other than a few comments from Barry that might be classified as grievances. Fights tend to have a manipulative component to them by nature. “I am going to kill myself will that make you happy” is manipulative. Not knowing what the other person was saying and doing doesn’t give enough insight to determine who was being more manipulative or more cruel or tell us how that ends up with one spouse being charged with killing the other in my opinion. I think this is why DV is so complicated and not always clear or simple to categorize and why it is a sentence enhancer and not a charge.

I don’t think he killed her with a dart gun. That thing was being held together with zip ties and probably wasn’t functional to any practical degree. I don’t think he was chasing her around the house either, wifi wobble is a thing and can show someone running around in a house-sized area when they’re actually sitting still the whole time.

I think they argued, he strangled her, and dumped her body (dissolved or not) close to but not on the Puma Path property.

Not being zip tied together, zip tied to a piece of cardboard for evidentiary purposes.

Her wedding ring!!!!!

(He didn't want it on him and I'll bet he never thought they'd look (lock?) down the house!)

(And I'll bet LE never looked under tinfoil (plastic wrap?) box (!!!!!)

Suzanne's Wedding Band ?

Anyone here opine that BM disposed of Suzanne's remains without first taking her wedding band from her finger?
Not I.

Barationale :
"After all , I bought it;
She broke the vows;
And it is of value;
...someone will give me something for it!;
Yeah.
So I'm takin' it.
-----------------------------

IIRC, an observation was made awhile back that, ofttimes it proves to be the tiniest of details that trips-up the criminal.
Indeed, details don't get much tinier, (or would be more ironic!), than this mistake re. Suzanne's wedding band.

Thus, trace possession of, or recover the wedding band, and BM, E&N will have a pretty hard tune to danc

------------------------------------------------------------


True?/False?/something else?/or whatever...

If BM were surreptitiously removing any item on his person after entering his home with the police, could this not mean - considering his numerous changes of clothes that day - that he did not/would not have wanted to risk carrying this/these item(s) continuously? Afterall, he had much to do and places to travel before returning home.
So once removed and possessed at Suzanne's disposal site, I opine that he would have placed it somewhere secure - in his truck interior? - during the work and travels ahead; to be retrieved and finally pocketed in whatever trousers he wound up wearing for the grand re- entry to his LE-Overrun/locked-down residence.

Perhaps, too, he presents a 'mesmerized/trance-like' as he is escorted into and about the house because he's in near panic realizing that if Suzanne's ring(s) are found on his person, IT WILL ALL BE OVER BUT THE SHOUTING!!

How did LE get into the house through the front door? It seemed that they had been inside before Barry was escorted in. Barry asked if the door was open, and the officer indicated that it was. Lights were off, and Barry turned a few on. In retrospect, all so weird-couldn’t the officers have taken a look around and chosen to take Suzanne’s bike shorts off the floor without even consulting Barry? Suzanne seemed to be so fastidious about the house-were the shorts on the floor or in a wash basket? Suzanne didn’t ride on Saturday-how long had the shorts and gloves been lying there? Too many questions, very few answers.

I have those same questions! However, the lights were not off inside the house. If you replay the video, you can see the large ceiling chandelier-type light was on when they entered. Also, if LE had done a cursory sweep of the interior of the house initially, how did they miss the ammo on the floor beside the bed which was in plain sight directly in front of the open bedroom door, according to the police marker in other LE video?

As for the clothing on the floor. it is purely speculation as to whether they were in a basket or not. I doubt they were on the floor.

I am struck by the lack of emotion and the apparent casual saunter and attitude BM displays throughout that arrival at the front door, retrieval of clothing, and departure film footage. He really never faltered or displayed any real confusion or concern. His pace or gait never changed. There was no sense of urgency. We never heard him ask if LE had already been in the house, rather only if the door was locked/unlocked. He actually spoke very little. His demeanor was not what one would expect if a beloved was missing and had tangled with a wild animal, as he tried to portray. Even if a couple has had a hellacious fight, when a tragedy strikes or they are delivered bad news, there would be shock and concern that would over-ride the issues for a time. IMO
 
Don't know if this has been discussed already but do we know the identify of the fifth redacted phone under Barry's Verizon account that was in the search warrant? In the AA on page 31, I'm seeing SM, BM, MM1, MM2, and a fifth number listed as REDACTED REDACTED.

I've been wondering that too. My hypothesis is MH2 knew where the spare key was hidden. JR and MH2 both went in through the unlocked garage door. In the body cam footage, MH2 tells the deputy that he had gone in and looked for Suzanne.

JR left the note on the door on her first trip and opened the garage to look for Suzanne's bike on the second trip.
