This is actually one of things about this case that I don't have a problem with. He was out of town and unable to call 911, best he could do was the Salida main police phone. Having the neighbors call 911 on his behalf ensured an emergency response in his absence.

As somebody who travels for work often I have a similar agreement with my next door neighbor.
Cool story!
 
Remember when Barry had the neighbors in Salida call 911 because he said he was at a job site in Broomfield, when actually he was sitting in a hotel room. Why would he do that?


He had a really great reason but Linda Stanley covered it up!

Couldn't BM have called the Salida main police phone, when his wife, after all an adult, was possibly missing? Calling the main phone would have delayed the whole "event" a bit; wasn't that what he meant? Or did he have a strictly timeline: first making the girls mad, then calling the neighbour, then authorities finding the home truely empty and wife missing, then as the shocked husband returning back at the exact right time from his important Mother's Day task?

BM was a volunteer firefighter. Why didn't he call a fellow fire fighter who would have a direct conduit to local LE?

I don't understand your comment that he wasn't "able to call 911". His phone worked to call the neighbor, why wouldn't it work for a 911 call or a call to another firefighter to contact LE?

There has been no indication that BM had any sort of arrangement or agreement with a neighbor.

The only arrangement they have is a no contact restraining order against Barry, which they filed after reading page after page of incriminating lies in the AA.

Because 911 calls are geolocated to the area they are placed from. Calling 911 a couple hours away from Salida would have been pointless.
 
Just a thought:

Can it be, that SM is hidden in a burned (burnt)-out ruin somewhere?
I looked at a joke minutes ago about "sexy firefighters", as BM surely considered himself, and "Pling!", the lightbulb began to glow. ;)
It might account for the chlorine, to disguise the smoky smell.

I'm aware of that. Does not explain why he contacted a neighbor vs calling a fellow firefighter who could have contacted local LE directly and with urgency.
At that moment I think all he and his daughters knew was their mom was not answering phone calls or texts. Perhaps at that moment in time it was perceived as odd and not an emergency. I honestly think I would have asked a neighbor to stop over and check first. Then second would be an emergency call from the neighbor to that area's 911 since neither the daughters or Barry were "in town". It feels like that would be the natural course...not calling the fire department to go to your house and look for your wife. But some people do jump to worse possible scenarios right out of the gate - I have a family member like that - and others just aren't wired that way. I'm not one that jumps to the worse possible scenario first.

I'd have to go back into the original posts here but didn't the neighbor call Barry and tell him Suzanne was missing? Why would he call somebody else to call 911 then? Of course it's logical he would ask the person who told him his wife was missing to call police. :rolleyes:
 
Enormous loophole? I don't understand --Colorado's Constitution governing Eligibility/Bailable Offenses since 1876 pretty much mirrored the US Bill of Rights (Eighth Amendment) when adopted by the voters which provided that All persons shall be bailable, unless for capital offences, where the proof shall be evident, or the presumption great. All fines shall be moderate; and no cruel or unusual punishments shall be inflicted. Art. II, 32 Journals of the Continental Congress 334 (1787).

IMO, Colorado is lucky that bail reform has been slow and cautious. I think of states such as IL, NY, NJ, CA, and TN that are eliminating no cash bail and pretrial detention and it scares me to death!


Isn't it the case that CO has no capital offenses? Making everything bailable, right? And they appear to be giving bail to people who are rather dangerous, IMO.

Not to stray to far off topic, but, IMO, it is not pointless. There are systems in place that handle certain scenario's that happen. One for instance, if you are on the phone with someone and you hear something happening that needs immediate emergency services. You can call 911, best to not hang up as they can retrieve the location of the third party wireless phone, if phone was manufactured in the last 4 to 5 years, but all they really need is the address to transfer to the correct PASP (public safety answering point).

If there is interest, this FCC document can maybe shed some light on how wireless geo tagged data has not progressed as much as you would think until very recently. Many wireless 911 calls still go through the nearest cell tower for the location, not based off the geo location data of the phone making the call. In other words, the PASP center closest to the tower gets the call and not the PASP center closest to the phone. This is all currently changing/upgrading right now.

Sadly 988 is yet to accept wireless geo location data.

When Suzanne's daughters couldn't reach their mother, they phoned a neighbor and asked her to check to see if Suzanne's bike was in garage. I believe it was Suzanne/Barry's neighbor who called 911.

Exactly. They also called Barry IIRC. I can't believe people think it was wrong for the neighbors to call 911. I know I'd call 911 for my neighbors if they were missing, if their house was on fire, if somebody was breaking into their house, et al.

Nope.

Proviso refers to proof of guilt.
The requirement in the constitution that capital offenses are nonbailable when “the proof is evident or the presumption great” simply goes to the proof of guilt, not to the kind of proof needed for the imposition of the death penalty. Corbett v. Patterson, 272 F. Supp. 602 (D. Colo. 1967).

Offense does not cease to be capital where death penalty may not be imposed.
Although by statute the death penalty cannot be imposed on the basis of only circumstantial evidence, the petitioner does not cease to be charged with a capital offense and thus become entitled to bail as a matter of right where the prosecution probably did not have the direct evidence necessary to seek the death penalty. The offense with which he was charged was still a capital one, even if it should later develop that the type of evidence adduced did not support a verdict imposing the death penalty. Corbett v. Patterson, 272 F. Supp. 602 (D. Colo. 1967).

And denial of bail unaffected by constitutionality of death penalty.
The United States supreme court decision prohibiting imposition of death penalty in the circumstances then before it did not preclude denial of bail pursuant to state constitutional provision that bail may be denied where capital offense is charged when the proof is evident, or the presumption great, that defendant has committed the charged offense. People ex rel. Dunbar v. District Court, 179 Colo. 304, 500 P.2d 358 (1972).

Don't know if this has been posted, it's video of a press conference that IE held to talk about her complaint.
