Well unless Suzanne herself was lying to her friends and Jeff then I think her girls both know that their parents had fights. Why would Suzanne text her friends about the sorrow she has over the girls being pulled in, being used by Barry and why would she say that one of them thought it was a good idea they divorce? Didn't the younger daughter also text her boyfriend something about her mom not responding to texts and she was worried. I need to review all that again, but I know there was a text as they drove home from camping to him and it was concern on her part for her mom and I am almost certain it was about her mom being upset or sad because of her dad. I mean now they both say zero concerning arguments?
Those girls were camping because the tension in that house had been high. That is my opinion, but COVID hit in March and by May I'm sure there was way too much alone "family time" for them and they got away for the week and I bet Suzanne encouraged it. She didn't want either girl to be around that tension weather it was verbal fights, not speaking at all (that can be worse) or whatever it was. They knew there was issues in that marriage.
I 100% believe Barry did this... but let's just suppose he didn't. HE is the reason this was brought to him. He and home he is the reason that LE was looking right at him. I know we can't know how grieving people should act, but it's as if every single interaction he had with LE was the exact opposite of what most do. He lied and he lied a lot.
Even now it's all about him. Poor Barry. No real concern for his missing wife. No plea to find her. Just a jab a LE for focusing on him and not anyone else. Okay so how about, I understand why they focused on me. I had nothing to do with it and I need them to look for her, to find her. Where is his desperation for them to search for her? I'd say if he is innocent and his reputation is now ruined, he had just as much blame as LE does. He hasn't done a single thing to clear any of it up, to search for his wife, to insist someone or anyone search, call in with tips, etc. He just wants to be the victim when the real victim is Suzanne. He is now still more worried about himself by suing and taking the focus again off finding her and instead of proving he's been wronged by LE and then proving why his reputation is ruined is all on him.. not LE.
