Interesting. I am trying to figure out how to approach this post because in thinking about the timeline I am getting a little twisted up in the logic. So let me begin with a few important questions:
Now a few points:
- according to BM, when did he leave for Denver? what did he tell LE on this point?
- according to BM, when did he last speak to, see or hear from SM? what did he tell LE on this point?
- is BM this last person to have "heard from" SM referred to in the quote above, or is that someone else?
Finally, here is what BM told Tyson Draper about his departure for Denver. You tell me what this tells us about the timeline.
- if BM told LE that he left for Denver on Sunday morning, kissed his wife goodbye, etc. then the above would read "has not been heard from since May 10"; therefore BM must have told LE that he left for Denver on Saturday (I am ruling out Friday for reasons I will explain later)
- if BM told LE that he left for Denver on Saturday, then BM must be this "last person" to have "heard from her" (he presumably, supposedly would have spoken to her before going to bed on Saturday night; if he didn't say he spoke to his wife before going to bed on Saturday night, they would have had additional questions)
- except even the timeline above makes no sense, because LE would certainly have asked him if he called his wife on Sunday morning when he woke up; I guess it's possible that he said he didn't or that he did and got no answer, although the latter would prompt additional questions, e.g., weren't you a little concerned you got no response?
- I am going to go out on a limb and say that I am struggling so much with this timeline in part because there is something wrong with this timeline; further, that there is something wrong with this timeline might be one reason LE is looking at BM
TD: "You were in Denver, but how long before someone noticed she was gone?"
BM: "It was Mother's Day so...um...we uh...had two daughters that were coming home from the trip and I had that job in Denver that I wanted to get started on on Sunday set it up for my workers, my workers were coming in Sunday night. Normally I don't work Sunday night. I work Monday, but I being the owner I wanted to get everything lined up so that I didn't have to worry about Monday morning, just get busy working. So I told my wife, I said, 'Listen, the girls are gonna be home; they want to spend Mother's Day with you. Mind if I go get started with this?' She said, 'That's fine....'. She bikes ... She'd ride the bike ... The girls would get home; they'll be together. That's what we thought was gonna happen. The girls were running late so they texted Happy Mother's Day. She didn't text back. So we went to ... they called my neighbors. And said listen, it's Mother's Day, I'm a little worried and will you go check the house? And the neighbor went and checked the house. Saw that her car was there but the bike was gone. She called me in Denver and said, "Hey, we're just a little worried." And I go, "Well, I am too. Why don't we just call the police, just to be safe?"
There are many things to say about BM's answer above, but to me it sounds like his story is that he left for Denver on Saturday.
In some ways it sounds like his story is that he left for Denver on Sunday morning, but if that were the case, wouldn't he have told LE that he saw / spoke to SM on Sunday morning, and wouldn't the article above therefore say that SM "has not been heard from since May 10"?
Something is not right about the timeline.
This is such an excellent post. BM’s words are so.....evasive.
One thing really bothers me is how did the neighbor “see” that the bike wasn’t there? Did someone give her a garage code to enter the garage and specifically look for it? And give a description of what SM’s bike looked like, since BM and the kids may have had bikes in there as well.
It just seems so weird that SM’s not answering texts suddenly becomes “maybe she went on a bike ride.....please go in our garage and see if a bike is missing.”
