Yes. Lots of stress. I still struggle to understand why they even moved to Colorado. Hey, I know it's a beautiful place -- I used to live in Denver -- but with all the stress they already had, why did they add to it?
Hard to say why a family with roots in one area
and an established business would pull up stakes and relocate to a far state.
Only the parties involved would know the real
reason.
Was it because "he" was bored w/ his life in Indiana?
Was his business not doing well?
Was he running 'away' from something?
Did he want to start over 'fresh' some place new?
If they'd vacationed in Co. or he'd hunted there, that could be a draw.
Seems the decision to move was his decision,
so you'd have to ask him for the reason.
I don't remember the source but at some point it was mentioned that they may have moved to Colorado because their daughter attended college there. Suzanne may have been very close to her daughters. A relative also stated she was anticipating the move because her nephew lived in the area.
I haven't seen anything to suggest it was his decision to move. Suzanne loved mountain biking and hiking and it seems Colorado would be a beautiful place to spend time outdoors.
It may have been a mutual decision.
Someone posted earlier that SM had "angst"
about the move. This was reportedly from one of her Indiana friends.
And seeing that so many believe that BM was
a controlling husband and SM was a submissive partner, it's easy to believe that it
was primarily his decision.
I'm still guessing this was a factor in her demise- that she was threatening to move back to Indiana and MOO was he was not a truly
faithful husband.
I suspect she put up with a lot of BS while married to him. A lot more than the public saw.
