So, here are some thoughts I have about that flier, thoughts which I'm going to qualify right away as being purely speculative in nature.
First, here are the things that struck me most forcefully about the flyer itself:
Based on both the contents and the timing of that flier being distributed, here are some speculative theories about the reason for the flier going out when/where/how it did:
- Use of her full Christian name
- Exclusion of bike ride in the description of the circumstances under which she went missing
- Statement that she was "reported" missing on May 10th
- Photos used - both showing a very vibrant, happy Suzanne
- Prominent visibility of wedding ring in one of the photos
- Use of official seals of not just 1, not just 2, but 3 LEAs, including CCSO, CBI and the FBI
- Written Identification of the 3 investigating agencies (see above)
- Request for people having any information to contact LE
- No mention of reward offered by family
- No mention of when/where she was last seen
I think this flier was primarily about messaging the guilty party, with an ancillary message being sent to the community that the bike ride scenario has been dismissed/discredited.
- Sending message to the perpetrator: We ain't buying what you're selling. We know the bike ride story is malarkey. Evidenced by no mention of the bike ride in the flier, no pictures of SM in her biking gear.
- Sending message to the perpetrator: Local, state, and federal LEAs are working together to bring you to justice. You're outmatched, and outgunned. You're not in charge of what happens in this case. You're not driving this bus. We are. Evidenced by the mention of CCSO, CBI and FBI as well as the official seals of each agent on the flier.
- Psychological Warfare with perpetrator: Attempting to induce sense of guilt in the perpetrator for his actions. Evidenced by using her full Christian name, selection of photos highlighting SM's vibrancy and vitality and highlighting her marital status via the wedding ring.
- Sending message to the community at large, including any potential 3rd parties with guilty knowledge of the crime: Do not withhold information out of any misplaced sense of loyalty to family members/friends. Evidenced by exclusion of bike ride, mention of her being "reported" missing on the 10th, no mention of when/where she was seen, no mention of reward offered by BM.
- Psychological Pressure applied to perpetrator via the Chinese water torture method, i.e., slow drip of investigative information being intentionally leaked. Evidenced by the timing of the flier distribution, i.e., on the immediate heels of both the PE video and LS's interview with SM's family members and at the exact 3-month anniversary mark of SM's having been reported missing.
In a (gigantic!) nutshell, those are my thoughts.
I'm convinced the FBI had a direct hand in developing this most recent flier.

Excellent theories!!
