Most cases are circumstantial.

Was just going to say this. Yes, most cases are circumstantial to be fair. But this is a lot of nothing and speculation so far.

Between 8-9 p.m. on May 8, #SuzanneMorphew Facebook codes were reset. She friend requested 23 people in total 20 were men. Investigators asked Barry if this was him and he said no.

Why? So he knew when she came and went?

If/when she accessed the safe more likely.

Just what Andy told us happened, Barry's a liar!

 

[GatorFL]

Yes they are. For instance, DNA and fingerprints are circumstantial.

This won’t be made by DNA, but by the “new DNA,” digital evidence.

We will have to disagree on DNA and fingerprints being circumstantial. In most cases, they are definitive proof.

forensic data on BM's truck isn't circumstantial nor is a dart cap.

 

[Hair of the Dog]

Not most murder 1 cases.

Circumstantial evidence is evidence that relies on an inference to connect it to a conclusion of fact—such as a fingerprint at the scene of a crime. By contrast, direct evidence supports the truth of an assertion directly—i.e., without need for any additional evidence or inference. Wikipedia

MOO To be fair his actions are beyond a reasonable doubt.

ON May 8, #SuzanneMorphew sent a picture of #Barrymorphew standing outside Moonlight Pizza waiting for pizza to the girls. The girls are in Utah on a roadtrip.

What? What do you make of this? Where are the girls, really?

First it was Idaho, now it's Utah. But Barry is at a nearby Salida pizza place, waiting for pizza for the girls??

So the working at the river front job site Friday night... never happened?
And the "camping in Idaho" is now a road trip in Utah.

On the list was this entry: "Accuse me of bf and hydro 5/6" Grusing says that refers to an argument on May 6, 4 days before Suzanne disappeared, in which Barry accused her of having a boyfriend. Barry admitted the argument, but said he was not being serious when he accused her.

Yeah, right.

We need to figure out if this was Friday or Saturday. 2 reporters, 2 different days.

You can't just disagree on something that is a fact.

I wondered the same. "hydro" here is electricity so, I'm not sure.

There was some mention yesterday of a medication BM wanted SM to stop taking, maybe a text between her and SO. I will look for it. I bet hydro is hydrocodone (Vicodin).

So... trash runs which included a 'tree container' ?
Maybe some of our speculation wasn't far off the mark ?

I'll keep my thoughts to myself about BM's saying he shot about 85 chipmunks around their home.

While growing up my siblings and I fed a chipmunk that was almost tame and would bravely eat some bits of birdseed we scattered by the fence.
Charming little creatures.

No, Suzanne sent a pic of Barry to the girls at the pizza place.

DNA is tricky, though. In this case, we can expect Barry's DNA to be useless, as he lived with the victim.

Are you saying that unless there's DNA and/or fingerprints (often there's neither), Murder 1 convictions mostly don't take place? I'd say it's the opposite - in the cases I've been involved with or followed, there's rarely DNA or fingerprints. Again, Barry's fingerprints would be all over his own possessions - in this case absence of fingerprints would be more significant, when one would expect them in a particular place.

my thought is he's so vain he sent a picture of himself waiting on pizza to them - not getting pizza with them..
