Good morning all...I was thinking about that last night as I fell asleep. Was it some kind of psychological slip that he mentioned the Colorado trail goes all the way to Denver? If the trail has different access points along the way (some that can be accessed by vehicles) could BM have accidentally killed SM on Friday or Saturday before MD, panicked and wrapped her up in a blanket or tarp or something, put Suzanne’s body in his truck, threw the bike in the truck as well and then on the way out of town BM places the bike down the hill to make it look like Suzanne was knocked from her bike, also places a personal article of Suzanne’s on the other side of the road to lead searchers in the opposite direction (had formed the abduction theory in his mind and wanted to get LE to think Suzanne was knocked off her bike and forced into a vehicle dropping her phone, water bottle, necklace or whatever the article is during the struggle), then BM continued on the highway or main road towards Denver, stopped somewhere along the way at one of the access points where there were no other vehicles or hikers around, entered the trail carrying Suzanne, hiked up or down the trail putting a little distance from his entry point (he is big & strong so could have carried her body a short distance), found a remote location to veer off trail and conceal or bury her body, returned to the trail, hiked back to his truck, then continued on to Denver creating his alibi & disposing of body in the same trip?Good morning and thank you for the clarification on the trail. I brought it up as I was just wondering why he even brought up the Colorado Trail in the first place? It just seemed an odd thing to say to TD..the trail runs all the way from here to Denver..

Questions re this scenario: Did LE impound BM’s truck with Indiana plates and then return it to him? It wouldn’t be unusual for dogs to smell Suzanne’s scent in any of their vehicles. But don’t dogs hit on a different scent if the person is deceased? If he put her in his truck soon after she died and she was only in the truck for an hour +/- maybe it would be too early for dogs to smell decomposition? Would rain hitting the back of a truck wash away the scent? Maybe our WE experts and those with LE background or knowledge of criminal forensics could help answer? I wonder if LE is currently searching the Colorado trail to Denver with search & rescue dogs? It would take awhile to do a thorough search and LE has been quiet because they don’t want to alert the public to this search so curious people, media, volunteers, etc. don’t come to the area and disturb them or contaminate a possible crime scene?
On a side note I was wondering about the zip lock bag TD found that the deer were interested in with the food in it...maybe BM didn’t know how long it would take to carry out the disposal and he couldn’t be seen so he packed food? But I don’t think he could risk being off the grid for 4 days and if you just killed your wife would you pack dessert? Or label the bag? So the zip lock bag of food was most likely from the search or another hiker. Still I hope LE got it just in case.
Usual disclaimer applies - all speculation and MOO!!
