Maybe the guy saw a big fish rising and stopped to have a look. Maybe a deer had been rambling along the road and s/he had to wait. Maybe s/he stopped to see if by any chance there was a cell signal at that particular spot. Maybe s/he was looking for a place to turnaround. I mean, seriously? There's a huge range of possibilities that don't require suspicious intent.
It seems that consensus on this forum anyway is that it would be extremely unlikely for an arrest to happen at this point, especially absent a body. Without a body, LE is looking at building a circumstantial case which typically relies on many small pieces of evidence coming together, and that takes time (plus you have to convince a jury that SM couldn't have just run off somewhere). Even if LE knew for a fact that BM had staged the bike (which we don't know, but to your point if he was seen staging it or they had some other proof), I don't think we'd see an arrest at this point but would, likely, see a very focused investigation, IMO.
Woah has anyone jumped on this and checked this out further yet?? Isn’t Kansas next to Colorado? Embarrassing I guess I should know this! And does Arkansas River connect to Ninnescah River in some way? The description of the body got my attention!

I believe the Arkansas River is on the west flank of the Continental Divide. Kansas would be on the east, with rivers flowing towards the Mississipi. So, the rivers would be flowing in opposite directions.
Oh ok I just saw your post. I posted something below before I read this. And that would be a long way for a body to float. The article I posted mentioned some kind of box. Anyway thanks. My heart was racing there for a minute!
I am not a lawyer so I shall speak from personal experience / I have a trust set up for when I had minors with very specific instructions on how funds could be used (education, reasonable living expenses, medical, etc) in the event I was no longer the trustee - I can say that I wanted absolute control how my money was spent at that time Whether I was incapacitated or deceased - and it can be done By specificity in your trust - however; if one has the foresight to set up - Living trust and fund it (I.e. deed properties to it which they did not based on our deed research) and has confidence in the successor trustee no guardianship is needed because in my case I have a Power of attorney As well - of course I absolutely trust my successor trustee and that’s why I have all of the documents set up to insure my assets are used the way I choose - I am blessed to work for a law firm so it was easy for me to set up - IMO if there is a trust for this family it doesn’t hold property because we can’t find any deeds referencing a transfer from them to it -which is interesting to me
Interesting.
Oh wow we posted at the same time! Could a body floating in a box make it that far??!! The body was found yesterday. I haven’t checked any SM updates in the news yet have you?
However, that contradicts K. Berreth's and G. Stauch's cases.
It looks like the Ninnescah River is a tributary of the Arkansas River. The Arkansas flows from Leadville Colorado and passes near “SALIDA” in Chaffee County on its way to Kansas. Wow!
Thanks & wow that gave me goosebumps!
