I may have been in trouble for saying that Barry was inarticulate.Interesting, he has such poor grammar and writing skills...

Wow - well done ! Excellent analogy IMOImagine for a second that a woman goes missing.
Her vehicle is found a quarter of a mile from her home, deep down in a ravine.
Law enforcement never discusses the involvement of that vehicle in her disappearance, that she was driving down the road, appeared to have been in an accident, color/make of car, etc.
Unheard of!
IMO the investigators do not believe Suzanne’s disappearance is tied the bicycle ride.
You don't have to be in the media to be sued for slander or libel. I currently have a case that originated on Instagram.
SM and people posting potentially libel/slanderous things on these platforms are increasingly being exposed to civil liability, even if someone is posting their opinion or speculating. If it turns out to be false, liability could follow...IMO

If SM was discussing an upcoming wedding with a friend, naturally discussions surrounding relationships, love, etc. may come up. If SM expressed unflattering commentary about BM, perhaps this upset him...
Another idea is that perhaps SM expected a certain level of treatment for Mothers Day, but BM disagreed, thinking he is the breadwinner, but "she is only a stay at home mom". This could be the source of an argument.
Or perhaps the move to Colorado continued to be a source of tension. Perhaps he felt she wasn't appreciative of their expensive home and his hard work.
Any number of things can spark an argument between a couple.
Of course LE know the content of any messages with the friend, which might provide some clue.
I am going to respectfully disagree here. TN actually did go all in, spoke to reporters and searched for days. I think that there was a lack of early coverage for this case, especially nationally, and we might not appreciate the work of the family because of it. Not much footage of the community searches exist, so it’s hard to get a feel for the atmosphere and intensity. But the family WAS working hard and reaching out.I agree, and to piggy back off this thought... I also believe TN had reservations about someone's innocence from the get go. He also did not want to be on camera or have his image used. Something in the back of his head was keeping him from going all in. IMO
Took 13 years for LE to solve my stepfather's murder. They asked us questions. We answered questions. Thirteen years and they told us "ZERO", and we knew most of the LE involved in the investigation.

TN called into KUSA for a phone interview several days after SM’s disappearance. He said that he and the family had been out day and night with search crews looking for his aunt. I’ve transcribed his comments. “Every morning early we’ve been gathering and creating a game plan, and we just sent a bunch of teams out. We have our biggest crew yet today going out. Again. We’re working all day from when the sun comes up til the sun comes down, scouring every hill, every creek , every watershed looking for our beloved family member, (voice cracks) my Aunt Suzanne. We’re going everywhere. We have teams going into towns, and into remote mountainous areas and everyplace in between, scouring the area looking for any clue. And that’s the game plan. And we are gathering together at the end of each day, or as we can throughout (the day).. and compiling everything that we find. And building a stronger plan for the next day and going out with a more coordinated effort.”
“She is the sweetest, most loving person. She’s my aunt and the most wonderful, loving, beautiful person inside and out and we need her back to us now”
On May 14, he had an interview with CBS4Denver... “It’s really tough physically. It’s taxing up and down these hills. And it’s emotionally draining you know being with family and still being empty handed. We want to leave our options open, and we want to make sure we cover every hill...and know that everyone out here is doing everything they possibly can to find her. And if there is a chance she could hear this maybe, I want her to know that the family wants her back and we love her. We’re out there working for her”.

I agree with you and see that my post was not clear, my apologies. Everything you say is true, I believe he gave his all in looking for Suzanne. He was the only person speaking to the media and trying his best to find someone that he clearly loved. The G** me was also well intentioned and from the heart IMO.I am going to respectfully disagree here. TN actually did go all in, spoke to reporters and searched for days.

Yet not one single picture of these massive family searches not even on their own FB page so I personally do not believe this storyI am going to respectfully disagree here.

Yes. As an attorney I understand that more than just the media can be sued for defamation. I’m going to assume most people understand that.
My point was that the first amendment freedom of the press is tempered by the possibility of being able to sue for defamation.
Apparently that wasn’t clear?

I think he got out of Dodge, while the going was good. MOO.Like you, I also believe that TN was sincere in his love and devotion for Suzanne. I can’t help but wonder what happened and why we no longer hear from him.

Eta - while I helped compile the media thread I may have missed the media coverage of these family searches? Maybe @Seattle1 can refresh my memory?
BBM:So the family of the missing person, including the spouse actually did put forth significant search efforts? There seem to be claims that nothing, or not enough, has been done by the family of the missing person. IMO the family was very active in search efforts early on.
My first guess would be that someone (& not LE) told him to be quiet.Like you, I also believe that TN was sincere in his love and devotion for Suzanne. I can’t help but wonder what happened and why we no longer hear from him.
