Random members of the public are not welcome to just show up and do rogue searches and BM knows this. The sherrif said this, too. So they both seem to have had ulterior motives in speaking to each other.
And who among us would turn off our phones if we were speakung to BM ? You'd be crazy to do that because if BM slipped up and said something incriminating, no one would believe you. You might not put it on YT, but I bet that most of us would lie to a potential suspect if we thought we could get answers and justice in a case.
I think that SM is the person who was really duped in the grand scheme of things, and a 30 second video is a shameful "effort" on behalf of a wife of 20 years. Why are so many worked up over this -- after all, LE is allowed to lie to suspects to get to the truth!
BBM. All I've heard LE say is that volunteer searchers are not needed. I think it is pretty clear BM and his friends are searching on their own. BM made it clear to TD if he found something he should not touch it. TD found the plastic bag with #4, he picked it up, opened it, announced what was inside and then proclaimed the handwriting on the bag matched BM's handwriting. Did TD immediately turn it over to LE? How about the video?

The search continued Tuesday with only dogs. Sheriff John Spezze said there is no need for volunteers. Sheriff Spezze would not comment on whether or not Morphew bike was recovered. By late afternoon Tuesday, Morphew had not been found.
