People on WS understand that no-body murder cases are challenging and that all trials have an element of unpredictability. Most of us who read the AA are personally convinced of BM's guilt, and hope that BM is ultimately held to account. The idea of the "slam dunk case" is a straw man fallacy that some folks use to make themselves appear reasonable and logical by comparison. It's an insult to the intelligence of all readers here.

Looks like he used it until 5/12. Here is a compilation of the 2nd device and Barry's airplane mode 'ON' shenanigans, with some context surrounding them.
5/05/2020 Tuesday (day Suzanne brings MM2 to Gunnison for trip)
(12:48:34 PM) – 2nd device asso w/ BM’s iphone
05/08/2020 Friday (pizza night, beach property night?, Barry's night outside by the river)
(3:43:44 PM) – 2nd device asso w/ BM’s iphone via SMS text
05/09/2020 Saturday (Suzanne’s last proof of life)
- (12:06 AM to 6:46 AM) (~7 hours) – AIRPLANE MODE ON
- (2:44 PM) Last proof of life photo sent to Libler, and Barry arrives home
- (2:47 PM to 10:17 PM) (~7.5 hours) – AIRPLANE MODE ON
- (3:58 AM to 4:07 AM) (9 mins) – BMs phone moves from residence to 225/50 intersection (near where bike found)
- (4:22 AM) – SMs phone last pinged ~11.5 miles west of tower (or ~3 miles west of house)
- (4:32 AM to 5:37 AM) (~ 1 hour) – BM gets back to residence, turns AIRPLANE MODE ON – drives to Garfield area, then he’s at Johnson Village near Buena Vista at 5:37 AM
- (8:47:28 AM) – 2nd device asso w/ BM’s iphone (immediately after check-in at hotel)
- (11:50:52 AM) – 2nd device asso w/ BM’s iphone (right before leaving hotel to go to Via Vara worksite)
- (1:47 AM to 1:58 AM) (11 mins) – AIRPLANE MODE ON
- (7:54:50 AM) – 2nd device asso w/ BM’s iphone
- (8:14:29 AM) – 2nd device asso w/ BM’s iphone
- (9:07 AM to 12:01 PM) (~ 3 hours) – AIRPLANE MODE ON
- (5:44:42 PM) – 2nd device asso w/ BM’s iphone
- Andy Moorman arrives late PM
- Andy Moorman and Barry at bicycle site in morning
- (9:41 AM to 12:50 PM) (~ 3 hours) – AIRPLANE MODE ON
- (5:58:11 PM) – 2nd device asso w/ BM’s iphone
It's also interesting to note that on both search day 1 & 2, he puts his phone into AIRPLANE MODE for ~3 hours each morning. Wonder what he was up to and who, if anyone, was with him "searching" at the time? If innocent, highly doubtful he'd put his phone in AIRPLANE MODE, as he'd want to hear immediately if someone found her.

I wish we knew what the paired device was. I wonder if the data shows paired if it is a bluetoooth connection?

Is there A LOOP Barry could have made on the morning of 5/10 to account for the missing ~14 miles and roughly half hour?
We never heard about any vehicle data associated with truck windows opening and closing (helmet).... so maybe there were other events? Multiple stops (trash dumps) before leaving town? The phone? Staged clothing? The helmet?
Didn't he cop to stopping somewhere on account of something blowing out of his truck bed? (A Tsplain) Could he have been covering for a full stop and vehicle exit during the 14 miles detour?

He doesn't specify if this stop was during that left turn, or on the way to Broomfield. Page 74:
Barry said, "Yeah, I didn't. I turned around there. I turned, I, I went that way because I saw those elk. They were in road right there, before I got up to 50. And I let 'em cross and then there was one good bull in there and I like, 'Man.' And I just missed seeing how good he was. Yeah know, I'm a hunter and I just wanted to see him and I just turned that way to look at him. That's, yeah, that's, that's the only thing and when I went to Broomsfield, I told Joe and Derek everywhere I stopped. I had crap blowing out of the truck, I pull over at one spot, got my truck situated, went off. .. "

I find it amazing that it only takes less than 22 minutes to change out the blade on the Bobcat. That's like Nascar pit crew fast.

They might have used it - but because the experts were sanctioned and we never got the trial started there is no way for us to know about the content of the expert reports
RSBM - for stuff arising after the prelim, there hasn't been a trial to admit the evidence to.
For the base data, this will have been discovered (like the RR data) and then would have been exhibited.
For the expert analysis, the reports were to be discovered and then would have been exhibited.
So we can't see any of this.
All we really have access to is the prelim exhibits, and then a few other things we got to see via the pre-trial motions.
I'd really caution about assuming the digital evidence at trial won't add much to what we already learned at Prelim. Expert testimony makes the difference on the margins.
We've all followed lots of cases but I'll use McStay as my example.
In the prelim, a "stunning" piece of evidence was that the accused had accessed the victims Quickbooks in the cloud to print himself cheques, both in the days leading up to disappearance, and in the days after. Like Barry the accused had said very stupid things to law enforcement, but at trial he could not testify. This lead to the defence needing to concoct contorted explanations for all of this.
Without boring everyone with the details of an old case, the prelim testimony is the "lite" edition where a member of law enforcement is allowed to 'sock puppet' in some quasi-expert testimony on the basis that it is true. The whole point is that the evidence will be contested at trial, not in the prelim.
At the trial, the evidence was subtlety but powerfully advanced from the prelim. Especially what the prosecution was able to do was destroy silly defence versions trying to account for the accused logging in to the victims accounts to do cheque fraud
It is the same in this case IMO. Others have already pointed out how critical the FBI cellular/location expert is.
I would add to that, critical expert testimony to pull together telematics and phone evidence
For instance, is the truck data for disappearance day, messed up compared to baseline? What about the Ford app journey data?
Just one example - it is a major problem for the defence if the truck data does not corroborate Barry's left turn, if/when baseline would expect GPS logging for all the trip. We can see GPS data for the truck in the driveway, and arrival in broomfield. where is everything else?
Maybe the defence could prove that the truck only logs GPS when you stop? I don't know but that seems very odd to me compared to any vehicle data i have seen recently in the front end of dashboard/apps. Generally they show your whole route.
And this leads to the issue that I was most interested in. There doesn't appear to be evidence from the consumer interface. You and I don't look at these base level computer logs. These are basically millions of saved pieces of information that apps use to construct user friendly info - like when you go for a run and it shows your route on your running app when you finish. That is the product of 1000s of saved pieces of info as you go along.
Did Barry never use the ford app and journey stuff? Where is it?
Combined with the strange power disconnect error, this seems like a hell of a lot of stuff that could be very hard to explain innocently.
tldr; the prelim simply didn't get this deep on the data

RSBM / BIB - this is one of the things I was expecting to be a big issue at trial
From the AA
Barry said, “Yeah, I didn’t. I turned around there. I turned, I, I went that way because I saw those elk. They were in road right there, before I got up to 50. And I let ’em cross and then there was one good bull in there and I like, ‘Man.’ And I just missed seeing how good he was.

That’s, yeah, that’s, that’s the only thing and when I went to Broomsfield, I told Joe and Derek everywhere I stopped. I had crap blowing out of the truck, I pull over at one spot, got my truck situated, went off … ”
Looking at the telematics data, the truck logs events when the truck stops. e.g odometer, gearshift, door - and these events have GPS.
IMO it is a significant issue for the defence that this data is not there to corroborate the above. There is nothing between his driveway and RTD bus stop. So what would be important to understand is when does logging occur and did all the expected logging occur?
e.g. one thing I don't get is why do we sometimes see gearshift logs and other times not? The actual underlying processes would be important to now.
Personally I think BM disabled the telematics between his driveway and the RTD bus stop. But that impression maybe be based on an incomplete understanding.
e.g is this all the data?

Thanks for posting the "new" date. Total wild guess/speculation on my part but I'm guessing they are arguing the charges perhaps setting a stage for some sort of plea deal possibility which could change how he would plea at an arraignment. Again total speculation on my part. I still don't understand how they got the influencing charge associated with a ballot with a signature on the witness line - or so that is what is being said occurred out in the internet world. Voter fraud or election fraud I understand.Haven’t heard what took place this morning, but Docket now shows a new date for Arraignment. 7/21.

I have always wondered that.
Maybe the loop or turns were tight or the terrain too difficult for his truck with the trailed bobcat, so that's why he left the bobcat at home.
I can't think of any other plausible reason he didn't bring the bobcat to Broomfield.

11:25 Barry's truck backs up 96.8' out of driveway.
Possibly moving to let the older RR out.
