Can we discuss reasons a person might not want their voice recorded or his face in the news.? <modsnip>

That's a good question.
I would have suggested that he possibly had had an affair(s) himself, but maybe didn't tell the gal (or guy) his real name. This is VERY common.

But then he did that 25 second video so, that's sort of out the window.

As for the voice recording, it's entirely possible he thinks someone will pick something up out of his tone or the specific words he uses. I mean, we do that here every day, (and I see folks on social media doing exactly the same thing) so it certainly is something he may have picked up on.

Just guessing, of course.
 
good questions-
just a hunch but I think the bobcat will play an
important role once we know the real story.
Somehow LE is zeroing in on the bobcat so he's
trying to counter that.
Did he move her body in the shovel of the bobcat at some point? Was the bobcat at their home when he killed her? Did he try to bury her or temporarily bury her at the home job site? That bobcat is involved here somehow.
moo

I agree that the Bobcat, (not the mountain lion) is involved. LE are on to him and he's trying to provide a reasonable explanation for using that Bobcat Saturday night. Any thing that he forgot to tell LE points to a damning piece of evidence. It's gonna be a millstone around his neck, a sinker.

Yes! And how about Mr Moorman's quote starting at about 1:06 "We more or less lost a lot of contact with her when she moved out there" (meaning Colorado). That quote speaks volumes to me. Looking at that isolated house in the woods, with no landline and sketchy cell service, it reminds me of a Princess locked in a tower.

Suzanne's brother Andy, beginning at 7:09


- I believe in the CBI, I believe in the FBI and I believe in Salida's police department. They are good people, not perfect but none of us are.
- I tell you what, we are not going to quit looking until we find my little sister. If I have to put on the largest manhunt known to man, I'll do it, under the authorities.
- Organized and well, it may come to that soon, I don't know. I so appreciate you guys (PE) looking into this.
- I want the public to know my Dad's 87, he fragile. I've had to tell him things I've never wanted to tell my Father. This has been a rough damn time.
- Yes, we've been quiet. We did not want to fudge up the investigation. But now, we won't stop at nothing to find my little sister, ever.
- This family is a good family, we're solid, there's nothing goofy about us, we're transparent and happy to be so and I can assure you we will not quit until Suzanne is found.
- I want that done before my Father leaves this earth. I want him to have answers, I want her to have a proper burial or a homecoming whichever it will be.
- I mean that from my heart. I want the answers, I may not want to hear them when I find out, but I want the answers regardless.
- I need to bring Suzanne home, I need to properly bury her, where she is properly buried next to my Mother in the Alexandria cemetery, in the place she grew up.
- If that's what has to happen. I'm going to stop at nothing to get it done, nothing. I mean that from my heart.
- You guys are so instrumental in what's going on, please keep this alive. Please ask people to call the FBI, the CBI with any tidbit, I don't care what it is.
- Any tidbit is better than none, pieces will come together, we'll figure it out. They are already starting too and this helps.
 
At this point in the investigation or 3 months, I think we can be fairly confident that BM did in-fact travel to Denver on Sunday.

CBI/FBI are also involved in this case and according to BM, he's had 3 (or?) 30 hours of interviews with LE. If BM told FBI he traveled to Denver and evidence supports otherwise, he could have easily been charged with lying to the FBI.

It's not a crime to lie about your whereabouts, people do it all the time, but it's a crime to lie to LE during an investigation. This is how the missing Kelsey Berreth investigation started to unravel -- KK lied to the FBI about not knowing KB when she'd actually been to her home and delivered coffee to her.

MOO
I'm sure you are correct, but I qualified my statement when I said "in the public domain" -- as with so many other facts about this case, we out here in sleuthland don't know where the heck he was that day, officially. Heck, we don't even know the color of the dern bike . . . but anyway, I get your point.

good guesses-
I think also he may know that any recording can come back to haunt him and prove him to be a liar.
Maybe since he had an atty, at least in the beginning, the atty. warned him against recording anything.
 
Or it wasn't a bobcat at all.
========================
could be- but I do keep seeing on skid steer forum guys talking about the rough poor suspension that causes a lot of vibration when using bobcats. Seems to be a common problem.
So I've gone back to believing it was a bobcat
being talked about- plus LE must have put the
pressure on him about the bobcat and he's trying to come up w/ a defense against whatever LE is suspecting.
For all the time and effort LE put into that
search at the Salida site, they must have had some strong evidence that BM did something nefarious there related to his missing wife.
But IF he put her there-temporarily- how did he get her body out of there without being seen? or is this where an accomplice came in to help remove her body to another location?

yes, yes, agree and don't forget security thingies that didn't work or weren't hooked up,
and a hubby who does all kinds of mechanical thingies to bobcats but couldn't or wouldn't protect his isolated wife in the woods.
 
After several comments, thinking reason for 30 min noise could have been moving body-maybe change of plan-or temp grave part of plan ( was he working there Sat and could have dumped body or tool from bed of truck into hole while nobody looking while working alone? -( can't just have a body at the house )...- then compacting - triggering the search by le. ?
30 min is about right-wonder if windows vibrated whole 30 min or if Audrey heard 2 diff noise levels from 2 different pieces equip.
Where are you Suzanne?
 
I don’t think BM realized the possibility that his GPS data or other things would be leaked to family in IN.

I think he thought if he just remained quiet, no one would be any wiser of the narrative he was pushing.

Once the family spilled a little tea and LE did another canvas with new flyers, BM started to crack and is trying to explain why his story had some inconsistencies.

@GordianKnot nailed when she said the perp would get nervous and maybe talk. It worked, but it didn’t help his cause, IMO.
Let’s hope LE is getting closer to the truth and finding SM.
 
On the "vibrating windows" -i think different characteristic from loud decibel rating- (db) ---the vibration measurement would be seismic reading ? For sure not a compactor, or cement mixer , prob not even a bobcat- so what then? What vibrated her windows and what would vibrate a window x feet away in that soil? Would his bobcat even be "runnning" if it was the vibration during a mechanical thingy? There is the biggest clue IMO . 30 minute vibration.

I wish we could ask the neighbor whether the rumble she felt/heard had variations in it, as would happen when an earth-moving machine is actually in use, or whether it was mostly steady, as in idling or just moving around a small bit.

I still maintain that a presumably-diesel Ford F350 makes a heck of a racket. Even if one has heard it during the day, IMO it can sound like a monster machine when heard out of the blue during sleep. So maybe he was there doing something other than running equipment, but his truck was idling, maybe close to her home?

A soil compacter also makes sense. Could he have buried something somewhere on that property but not under the pour location (now concrete)?

My guess would be either at or into the river (where he might be ignorant enough to believe that, if found later, it would look like it/she was carried all the way down from the bike location, even though we know from the dam that wouldn't happen) or somewhere else that will be hidden once the house is in place. Maybe in the soil under where the deck is/will go?

Another question for the locals -- if he was driving from Maysville to the Salida job site, based on where he would get off the freeway, do you think he would approach the job site from the north or from the south? I am still wondering whether the Salida Ranger District, about 2 houses to the south, would have security cameras that reach the street...
 
Two men with a financial motive?
How has the investigation so far (from what we've seen) lead you in that direction?
Genuinely curious.


there is lots of "buddy" talk. i won't name the buddy, but you can find some interesting stuff on his sm, in his own words, no less. PE called for an interview with the buddy, and even bm himself keeps bringing up his buddy. why?

BM definitely values the "buddy's" word over LE. I would love to know how the buddy feels about carrying such a weight.

Another possible reason he doesn’t want to reveal his face, it might curb his current or future dating possibilities. Not many women will want to date a man who is suspected of disappearing his wife. Perhaps Barry’s bachelorhood hasn’t turned out to be as gleeful as he expected.

IMO
