I have to share this with y'all. My husband does NOT understand why I follow true crime, research about it, and write a small blog about it. He just doesn't understand how obsessed I am with it. Well, I have converted him, at least on this case. LOLOL I was watching some podcast (I can't remember the name of it) about old Barry. And he sat down and got right into it. Well, after my initial shock wore off (and I imagine I had a shocked look on my face as well), he starts asking me questions. He said to me and I am quoting, "Is this guy really as stupid as he looks and sounds?" I answered with an affirmative. The podcast went through how the charges were dropped without prejudice, and how her body was found, and the autopsy report.
I filled him in about JL, the spy-pen, the sheath, his deer antler adventures, and the killing of the chipmunks. Plus, the tranquilizer gun, the drugs, and anything else I could think about. He was totally enthralled. He asked me if JL ever called LE to tell them about his and Suzanne's relationship after she went missing. I told him that I wasn't aware if he did or not. Which brought up another interesting point for me to think about. He asked if BM knew about JL. I told him it was my opinion, that he had suspicions, but I wasn't sure. He told me he thinks that BM did know, but he couldn't let on like he did. He thinks that is what finally pushed BM into killing her. If he couldn't have her, NO ONE was going to have her. At this point, I am in shock beyond words because he never wants to talk about true crime with me.
He asks me if BM had a girlfriend before he killed Suzanne. It is his opinion, that there wasn't one girlfriend for BM, but multiple women. I told him, I really don't know, but I know he had one or sort of one after, really soon after she came up missing. I reminded him that Suzanne had a "friend" JL, that lived in Michigan. We talked about how that seemed to shock everyone when that came out at the prelim. I told him that their daughters really seem to be supporting BM.
We talked a little bit more, and he said for me not to be surprised if they don't refile charges right away. He said he thinks that with everything that went on in the first case, this DA is going to want everything to be perfect. At this point, I am shocked that we have had an hour and a half conversation about a true crime case.
I should also tell y'all he DESPISES Scott Reisch. He can NOT stand the man. I am not sure what Scott has ever done to him, but lawdy! LOL I love Scott, but I notice he showboats every now and again. He asked me what Mr. Scott had to say about the autopsy findings. I said I hadn't really paid much attention to what he said, I was just basically reading here about the case. He told me to just keep it that way! He thinks Tricia is the greatest and knows how long I have been here. LOL
His name for BM is Tranq Boy. He asks me about ten times a day what is going on with Tranq Boy. And shakes his head and says that BM is just not too smart. He told me this morning that he would bet I have never followed a case where the autopsy showed animal tranquilizers involved in a death of a human. I told him he was right. I also told him about the sheath from the dart being in the dryer. He just shook his head, and said he really is a moron.
I told him BM was spotted by the "Daily Mail" sneaking into the "Celebration of Life" that they had for Suzanne. He told me he couldn't believe he had the audacity to show his face there. He said he was surprised no one threw him out. I told him that BM has to keep the good husband appearances up, after all, he is suing for 15 MILLION DOLLARS for being arrested the last time. Well, that did it. He said he has seen NERVY people before, but BM just takes the cake. LOL
I am just going to enjoy our conversations about this, because he has NEVER shown and interest before. I kind of like having this ongoing dialogue with him! LOL We have been married for 35 years and the man never ceases to amaze me, but this has floored me. We are at my daughter's and he is telling her all about it! She has a shocked look on her face too!
I am sorry about the long post, but I just had to share this. I am just too befuddled not to do so! LOL
PS. Mods, I am not really calling BM names, I am just sharing what my husband said.
Thanks everyone for reading this long post. I really appreciate it.
JMO, IMO, and all other disclaimers.
