if prosecution gets it together without losing much more of their case they might get by. I am still not convinced of the tranquilizer theory so very interested in how they handle that. I also can’t get on board with the tampering charge…I have always thought others were involved in the disappearance. I don’t think there was premeditation beyond the moment. I think CBI spent too much time on Indiana tips from disgruntled people who enjoyed telling their stories and not enough time looking closer to home especially because they knew characterization is rarely allowed but that is a dead end now since we are at trial so it is what it is. I don’t think Barry tossed the helmet on the way to Broomfield unless the telematics show something happening with a driver door or driver window. I also need to know if the bike was 95 feet or however many feet his truck moved or possible he walked or road the bike but that is lacking in back up info so purely speculative. I also think that they were both emotionally manipulative and physically aggressive and I suspect the girls sense that or suspect but the DAs walked softly with what they knew. Barry admitted it was embarrassing to him and given his macho tendencies I tend to believe that piece of all this.
Can you please explain/elaborate why you can’t get on board with tampering charge, and think others are involved in the disappearance? I’m not sure if you are saying that you think that others are fully responsible for killing SM and moving/concealing her body? Or if you think BM did the deed and hired and/or coerced someone else/others into removing and concealing the body?
Early on, I considered the possibility that BM might have
been covering up for someone in his close circle that did the deed and he got involved after the fact to clean up, and dispose of SM’s body. Or that he was possibly covering for someone he may have had sketchy business dealings with, owed/stole money from and wanted to teach him a lesson i.e., cross us again and your daughter’s will be next. But as the months went on and the more evidence that came out/was revealed and especially after reading the AA and learning about the digital forensics, BM’s many, many lies, ever changing stories and blaming animals (turkeys, chipmunks and bull elk, oh my!) every time he was confronted with more evidence and especially after learning about the glaring fact SM digital footprint ceased forever that Saturday afternoon on 5/9 while she was alone in BM presence never to be seen or heard from again, for me, it was the totality of everything all the evidence against BM that erased the possibility that he was covering for someone else and that he, BM, was the responsible perpetrator.
I do think BM possibly walked the bike over to the location it was found with his phone in his pocket as phone records showed his phone moved to area of the bike sometime in the 3am hour. As stated previously, IMO he concocted the leave for Broomfield 12 hours earlier than planned to create distance and to be seen/documented to have been somewhere else far away (‘alibi’) when SM ‘disappeared’/reported missing. (I think he planned on her being discovered to be and reported missing by his daughters much earlier in the day but his daughters running late threw a wrench into that plan), and he staged the bike and helmet to make it appear as though SM was still alive after he left that morning and went on a bike ride (proof of life), and to insert a 3rd party as being responsible for taking/harming Suzanne. The intention was to confuse, misdirect, mislead LE/LE investigation. Classic.
Let’s review all the 3rd parties BM accused of being the perpetrator mind you not a shred of evidence anything of the kind had occurred- Mountain Lion, abductors, sex traffickers, disgruntled former employee, someone SM knew well and had a run-in with, SD’s daughter and boyfriend, CBD Tim, member(s) of the Moorman family.
Have I forgotten anyone?
The only other things for me at this point that remain in question- where he put Suzanne (I think strong possibility that he dumped her down abandoned mine shaft), and the possibility of whether someone(s) may have been involved after the fact either unwittingly or wittingly. Unwittingly- used MM2’s non-telematics RR to dispose of SM, or possibly helped himself to neighbor (Cushman) vehicle, or to a construction site vehicle he may have had keys/access to. Wittingly-someone(s) may know something due to BM possibly confided some things to them and they may be helping with the ongoing cover up by staying quiet because they were maybe paid by BM to keep their mouth shut and/or sworn to secrecy due to some sort of loyalty/favor owed to BM. (SD?).
Who knows, maybe someone that might know something that hasn’t been discovered or come forward yet, will turn on BM and muster up the courage to come forward (if they haven’t already since the PH’s), and start singing like a canary and agree to testify for the prosecution at trial and divulge what they know about BM’s secrets/nefarious acts that weekend. (Cue Nancy Grace-“Bombshell”!!! LOL).
I’m not sure I agree they were both emotionally and physically abusive. I believe BM most definitely was emotionally and physically abusive to SM on a much more regular basis than I could believe SM ever was to him. If SM lashed out at BM I picture it being because she was angry/provoked by BM or to defend herself against him. At any rate, BM is still alive and Suzanne is dead, concealed in a well hidden clandestine grave crying out to be found so she can be brought home and laid to rest properly by her family.
Regardless of SM having an affair, asking for a divorce, and to be paid back her inheritance, she did not deserve to die no matter how justified BM feels and thinks SM deserved it.
I don’t think BM truly loved SM the way he tried to portray that he did. IMO the bloom fell off that rose for both of them a long time ago, well before that fateful MDW. They were having marriage troubles for awhile and I think BM knew or at least suspected that SM was having an affair with someone. IMO he had stepped out on their marriage before and possibly still was (burner phone?) but BM didn’t want to get divorced, just continue the status quo as long as he could do whatever he wanted and continue to live the same lifestyle he was accustomed to and with Suzanne’s money. He knew SM meant it though when she sent him the “I’m done, we need to handle this civilly” message a mere three days prior and he wasn’t going to let her leave and take 1/2 the money-all her money with her. Most rational thinking people cut their losses get a divorce and move on. But noone leaves Barry and takes what he thinks is his/entitled to-$$$$$. So instead of granting SM an amicable/civil divorce and splitting the assets, he decided to do the unthinkable and silence her forever instead. BM’s not the first to have taken this route in lieu of getting divorced and unfortunately, won’t be the last.
IMO the motive was as old as time- greed/money. SM’s affair was an aggravating factor so to speak, but not the primary motive IMO.
Had BM just allowed SM to divorce him, he’d be much better off financially since now all of his AND SM’s money is going toward paying his high priced Attorneys so he’ll likely be poor as a church mouse after paying all E&N et al fees. Oh the irony.
