We don't know that. LE has not verified. As far as I've observed, everything to do with a bike was seeded into the story by BM <modsnip>I believe there was a bike found at the bottom of the ravine on the Sunday night. How it got there? I don’t know. But there was a bike found and it was SM’s bike.
^^bbm<modsnip>
The spouse is out of town when the event happens.
Security cameras at the house - not working, don't have them?
Focus of LE investigation and digging up worksite.
Nothing from the daughters and they don't appear to be around. (a little unfair because they may just not want to go public)
If he is innocent and telling the truth, his behavior seems reasonable. If I came home with my spouse missing and the bike in a ravine and damaged. The possibilities would be abduction, hit by a car, single bike accident (although I think there would be evidence), and animal attack. That's about all I would have and would have to cling to them while trying to find them. If LE was focusing their investigation on me, I'd be annoyed. I would be out searching in the rain and getting wet. I actually think a lot of his behavior is what a lot of people would do. I've seen a lot of boyfriends/husbands accused and it turned out being false. I'm not going to do that because it just makes a bad situation a little worse. Real facts - SM is missing and LE found some item of hers.
Although BM is high on my radar, everyone is suspect to me, daughters, neighbor, paper boy, etc.
I'm interested in that trail going up to Denver and BM's Firebuds. I am interested in what the Volunteer FF crew does/did. If there were any actions/test burns done along the trail? Something this VF crew does to help primary firefighters?
Very good! Thank you so much.I’m game!
I have no facts whatsoever that BM is guilty. I also have no facts whatsoever that BM is not guilty. And there’s that!
What I see is the direction LE have taken in this investigation. Shutting BM out of his home for a week, taking his truck and phone, digging up his work and not giving him the “all clear,” good to go. They never issued a BOLO with a description of SM, her bike or clothing. Strange behaviour if they actually believed a kidnapping, abduction occurred ala BM’s theories.
What I also see is BM “hanging his hat” on SM’s bike and the narrative he is spinning, actually three possibilities, none of which LE seem interested in pursuing, at the moment. BM’s theories all involve the bike and nothing but the bike, while LE are mum on it. That makes me suspicious of the bike story and therefore BM. JMHO
found it
The relative said they have never seen or heard about any specific issues in the Morphew’s marriage, and that the couple seemed happy. But they did indicate that Barry could be somewhat controlling.

"controlling"
Did you say LE tore up the pavement? I don’t remember that. Why?
Standoffish = aloof, distant, remote, detached... Sounds like an introvert. Definitely not a synonym for controlling.
I totally agree. If your first thought is to protect yourself, and not do everything in your power to publicize the disappearance of your missing loved one, then at the very least that shows a major character flaw.^^bbm
Let me go on record that given the same facts, this is not what I would be doing. Nope, not my behavior.
I'd be telling anybody that would listen to me the 3 scenarios that BM told the stranger (blogger) that he met on the road.
I would have held a presser with LE to announce my grand, no questions asked reward and made my name and face known. (BM was not yet publically identified when media made the announcement of his $100,000 reward for SM).
I'd be asking investigators to drill and grill me -- polygraph me now so you can eliminate me.
Also, I would not have needed more time (too soon) to make a plea for my missing spouse. I don't care what others would have perceived about me (to need more time) because this isn't about me -- it's about my missing spouse.
If I truly believed my spouse may have been abducted, I'd be going national -- they could be anywhere. MOO

True. But why does everyone keep saying he was not yet publicly identified when it was announced Suzanne was missing? They are in a town of 200 people right? So everyone knows him. I’m even more curious as to why the locals don’t speak up. What’s up with that?^^bbm

Well, no one is raving about his good character that I have heard. So there’s that.I totally agree. If your first thought is to protect yourself, and not do everything in your power to publicize the disappearance of your missing loved one, then at the very least that shows a major character flaw.
I’ve never seen an innocent person behave this way.
They're not telling.They still haven't found anything. Or they are not telling.
Shouldn't they be questioning him over and over. If they think they can find her alive and they suspect the husband then surely he would be back into questioning constantly.
Are they building a case? And thus keeping everybody in the loop. LE and the two agencies did not want any local and voluntarily groups searching for her. Why?
Ok. I thought you were speaking of finding her bike and that leading to the digging.Meant the searching of that concrete slab LE searched on that new house that was being built. They first cut out square holes of the concrete to get underneath the concrete and then dug even further down under it.

Is it also possible they have another suspect in their very tiny community and LE doesn’t want that person tipped off about their investigation?They're not telling.
BM has an attorney and that attorney would not want his client subjected to an interrogation or interview. Reason: trying to keep his client from being indicted in case his client did commit a crime and keep his client from incriminating himself. (Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution).
Yes, they build cases, that's what they do and that's what they are doing in SM's disappearance. They have agencies they're working with who are assisting them. No, they do not need local or volunteer groups searching. Why? Because something has led them to believe this is about finding a body, not an alive SM, they don't want people trampling onto or interfering in a case that needs to be protected for future litigation. The public, as curious as they and we are, are not entitled to know things like details of an investigation. This is standard criminal investigation 101.
@ogls Is this what you are referring to? Or another kind of burn?Absolutely! I'm looking for any "regulated/setup burns" by the Volunteers. Regular people aren't allowed to do fires and they would attract attention.
MOO...the bike could’ve been identified by serial number, provided by family.
Have no idea about the personal item. But if the family doesn’t know what it is, it stands to reason that they didn’t ID it. The helmet is one guess.
MOO
I agree it had to be something that shifted LE focus a certain way which led up to the concrete slab being tore up at the one search location.
It happened pretty quickly so it may have been that extra personal item they found.
I tend to think it was something about the bicycle. Here are some things that would automatically make me realize she did not ride the bike that day if I saw the scene like this:
1-*A small disc brake lock was attached to the bicycle that prevented one of the wheels from even turning. The perp may have been unaware it was even attached since some of them are very small.

2-*The bicycle had clip-on pedals and she only owned one pair of the special cleated shoes that work hand-in-hand and those shoes were at home still.
3-*The bicycle had some previous damage that made it unrideable and one of the other close family members knew the bike was not rideable or fixed yet.
Anything like that would have been a huge red flag to LE.
