I agree with you, and I think it's definitely a possibility if not for SM, surely for other crimes.
So, you know the polygraph is garbage and the cops know it is garbage and just being used as an interrogation tool. Why would everyone be going along with the charade? Seems like a huge waste of time. Would you sit down with the cops while they asked questions of a magic eight ball?
Soooo, I have enjoyed all the information tonite, hope I retain some of it. Isn’t it possible BM has passed the polygraph, w/ the #1 best option. or volunteered, and LE didn’t feel it necessary.
I know I repeat myself but the one case most similar to me was Shari Smith1985, the family made almost no media appearances, while communicating w Shari’s killer thru phone calls. Only when her body was found did they speak out. Larry Gene Bell enjoyed the attention. That’s my #1 reason.
#2 might be they may have a suspect, believe Suzanne may be alive, but because the suspect is known to be unstable, they are cautiously pursuing the person.my favorite.
#3 Silence might actually lead to the subject exposing themselves, in their effort to learn what evidence they have.
IMHO the family is following LE instructions. In fact, the video may have been the reason for the “hope he continues” comment.
Which brings me to my last option. Suzanne has been kidnapped&murdered by an anonymous killer, who has no connection to anyone in the Morphew family or Salidas community, left the area and there aren’t any clues.
Before you shoot that one down, consider the Charley Projectwebsite. I went thru the Colorado and New Mexico females last nite. Suzanne’sc life style is quite different from many. There remain some who just disappeared.
The area is a tourist draw. Lots of random strangers? Estimated 2000 SK at any given
time, so that’s 40 per state, NM+CO=80,add CA 120
This is my least favorite option. Probability?
IMO at least as high as mountain lion? every time one gets caught, sorta means another one starts. I wondered at the beginning if that’s why CBI & FBI came in.
How do you catch a serial killer? Sometimes, it’s a tip. Sometimes it’s a mistake they make. Sometimes it’s pure luck. Sometimes it’s a miracle. Sometimes it’s one stubborn LE officer.
As LE stated, both the mountain lion and the predator/SK have been ruled out.
