I respectfully and wholeheartedly disagree.
You could slap a pair of rose-colored glasses on my head and make me shotgun a gallon of Kool-aid and I still wouldn't see BM's actions as those of an innocent husband displaying concern for his wife.
BM is the one who claims that the neighbor called him after she went to the house, and that he's the one who suggested that "maybe we should call the police."
So, either BM is a liar, or it was his idea to call the police.
Regardless of which of those two are true, he comes out looking bad.
Husbands who lie about events surrounding their wife's disappearance are suspect.
Husbands who appear to be manipulating people and events surrounding their wife's disappearance are suspect.
Did you hear him ask TD to keep an eye out for an injured/confused/unconscious SM while he was out searching, to dial 9-1-1 immediately if he found her, what to do if she appeared injured, etc.?
No?
Huh.
Me, neither.
Instead, he asked TD to keep an eye out for evidence and if he found "something," not to touch anything.
On account of, you know, DNA and stuff.
One would think finding his missing wife would be the presumed focus and sole intent of searches.
Interesting and, in my eyes, highly damning that the possibility of finding SM there didn't even occur to BM.
The likeliest reason for that not occurring to him is that he knows she isn't there to be found.
On account of, that isn't where he put her.
Did you hear BM ask TD if he had any recording devices and if so, ask him if he could post at least part of their convo to Social Media to help get the word out about Suzanne's disappearance to the public and to remind the public that there's a 210k reward?
No?
Huh.
Me, neither.
Instead, he wanted to make sure that TD put away his recording devices.
On account of, you know, they'd "had a lot of media there" and stuff.
Of course!
I mean, what innocent husband doesn't place concern about his own image above the safety and wellbeing of his missing, possibly injured, lost and dying wife?
If these are the actions of an innocent, devoted husband doing everything he can to locate his missing wife, then I'm the Pope.
Of England.
JMO.
Respectfully, you are still judging every action and every word from this POV; he is guilty.
I did not ask you to put on rosy colored glasses, I asked simply you remove the blue tinted.
I apologize if something challenged your theory.
There are still those here, who do have doubts.
I believe also we may be having lingering carry over from Letecia.
She threw out everything but the kitchen sink did it. Most of his MAY have been initiated by others.
BM has actually had a job and run a business, successfully. We have no evidence
disputing this. Letecia, not so much. We actually have much more evidence, that she has not held a job for lengthy periods of time.
BM has been happily married for 27 years, Letecia, no. We have evidence she was working toward #3
Big confusion here: we questioned repeatedly Al’s naivety staying in a marriage w/ Letecia. Yet we have numerous discussions about the hidden difficulties of leaving a 27 yr marriage, giving Suzanne a pass. some very true and heartbreaking, and some personal.
To continue to accept this theory, imo, is implying that Suzanne is weaker than Al. This particular speculation demeans Suzanne, perhaps her memory, also.
The only evidence we have is that of a stable,
Loving, happy marriage. IMO Suzanne is almost the antithesis of Leticia.
Al Stauch is that rare man who is big enough to be able to allow his emotions be on full display. However, when did he speak to the public? The military has always taught soldiers to be tough, with no emotional display. It is my opinion, there has been recent evidence this approach may be a component of PTSD.
IOW, tough under fire, does not need to carry over back home.
BM may not have that military training, to be tough, but when we look at him, we speculate he is not sincere.
The second video, IMO shows the progression from shock to desperation. BM isn’t throwing out one new theory, and he isn’t trying to throw blame anywhere. He is checking off the ones ruled out. He isn’t claiming his innocence. IIRC by this time, Letecia may have been on her way back to CO.
So take off the blue tints, because LE DOES have this case. It’s just not BM. Go back to BMs response, he seemed perplexed that TD thought he was still under suspicion, “they cleared me.”
Think about all the guilty spouses sleuthed here, IMO most would have been protesting their innocence, anywhere and everywhere. Why doesn’t BM? Because he knows he has not harmed her. A guilty man plotting his wife’s disappearance would have his defense nailed down, word for word.
Random stranger kidnappings actually aren’t rare. The rarity in this case is the risk factor.
Most predators know better than to drive vans. RVs may be the new vehicle of choice. They are everywhere. Once you cross BM off, and put the energy toward other options, you realize the hopelessness. that is what I saw in second video, realizing all the other options, while absolutely horrible(lion attack)May at least have answers.
I have followed the BM train for threads. I apologize for being the one hold out. Should the real evidence at trial be this sparse, I have far more than reasonable doubt.
I am also perplexed. Whatever side of the fence I am on, will not change SM or BMs future. Why is it so important to be right?
I will go right back into my personal community, among many happily married couples, sad.
Barry and Suzanne would have fitted right in.
This detail has been bothering me. If the 911 call was made about 5:45, why did it take BM so long to make that drive?
Do we know what part of Denver he was working in?
It takes approx 40 mins to travel from one side of Columbia, Denver much larger city. traffic flowing smoothly. did he have to tie up loose end and hit the road? Or already on the road?
