Well that would certainly explain the alleged discrepancy in Barry’s truck gps vs. what he told LE (per family member as reported by LS)...also if LE tracked BM’s cell phone pings couldn’t they tell his location when he called the neighbor (or daughters or tried to call Suzanne)? Maybe LE got surveillance video of BM somewhere in Salida when he said he was in Denver?? He would be so busted & disgusted if he lied about Denver though and I always believed from the beginning that he really went to Denver for a job Sunday morning in order to have an alibi. But maybe it’s possible that was as big of a lie as fire fighter training? Could he really that dumb though? I mean you never know...lots of dumb criminals have come before him. I will be surprised if he wasn’t in Denver but it is always good to explore other ideas. And like you said, what if he went, snuck back and returned to Denver? You might be onto something with that idea...
This is at the bottom of my comments the last day or so, and it came about in order to explain why two cars in the driveway was significant for the neighbor: what if we toss out some of the many assumptions we've been developing since Mother's Day? Would we then have a less precarious explanation for some of the pieces in this case?
We did a good job early on IMO by ditching the idea that there was verifiably a bike ride (it seems to have been a product of BM's butt-covering), but a lot of assumptions have still survived in our discussions. So, what if we toss some out, and see what we get?
On my list of assumptions:
-that BM staged SM's bike; he could have staged someone else's by mistake
-that if someone threw out an item onto the highway, that BM did the throwing; it could have been SM or someone else: we don't know.
-that BM went to Denver and was there all day; what if he was back in Salida for part of the day, or took two trips?
-that the phone call to neighbors happened when he was in Denver, when he presumably could have been in Salida
-that when he said he last saw SM at 5 am, he's making a red-herring fake time stamp, (so, so clever isn't he, for thinking of everything?), and he was actually in Denver in those early morning hours, or somewhere else entirely at 5 am?
-that the work trip to Denver where he was clearing property was merely an excuse to haul equipment to Denver (or en route), equipment that he could use to bury a victim at someone else's build site entirely?
I'm sure other posters can think up more assumptions...
