“My buddy was there right after that, and he said that they completely destroyed the evidence, and he tried to stop them, but they wouldn’t listen to him and said, ‘this is not CSI,'” Barry said. “There’s no evidence for the investigators to see because the Sheriff’s Department completely obliterated it.”
i wonder why BM's little buddy fought so hard to protect the scene? at that time, since it was before barry even got back from denver, surely they had not jumped to the conclusion that a lion/ abductor/ accident- spot was a crime scene. why would they think that so early on?
Exactly.

First off, how and why was the friend even there so quickly?
Afterall, it sounds like BM had not even gotten there yet so the only people that knew SM was missing should have been the neighbor, the children, BM, and LE. So how and why was this friend there so quickly? IMO, obviously because he was called by someone and most likely BM.
Secondly, what are the odds this friend happened to be in the same location at the precise time LE found the bicycle?
It almost sounds like the friend could have been the one who found the bike.
If so, then did the person that asked him to help look for SM give so many good clues on where to look that it brought him to that exact spot?
And the kicker is lets say you were a close friend of someone and you just learned hours ago that your friend's wife was missing and so you go over there to try to help find her. And lo and behold you find her bicycle. Then why would you immediately jump to the conclusion that evidence needs protecting and there is evidence all over the bike?
Heck at that moment in time, I would still expect her to be found!
I would think she wrecked and walked away from the bicycle and is not far from there. Trying to stop LE from touching the bike would be the furthest thing from my mind at that exact moment in time. I would start looking for her right around the bike area and work outwards thinking she wrecked and got hurt and walked away from there.
Sure, a day or so later when she is still missing is when all that becomes important to me as a friend that got called over there to help see if I could help find her. .
But not in the couple hours from when I was just notified she was missing and if I had went over to help look for her and found her wrecked bike. I would immediately think a normal bike wreck and she walked off.
