"Wow, at abiut the 1:09 mark AM says this regarding the elk head:
"There was a male cougar seen there, a large one.. however he was sniffing around... My brother-in-law had picked up a dead elk off of the road and he had the horn set sitting next to the house with meat still where the skull was and the police officers even saw this cat there. But, that's what he was interested in."
They go on to discuss how that sighting was on May 12 or 13th & make the point, that if the mountain lion had killed SM on May 10th, he would still be feeding on her remains & therefore would not be interested in the elk head. The whole elk carcas/head thing seems bizarre. I agree with the others that he had a lot of space on his property to leave the elk remains. Why right by the house? Was he covering a scent or blood trail? Trying to lure the mountain lion near the home to support that story? When did he retrieve this dead elk and from where? Weird. IMO

I wasn't home to watch PE last night, so I'm very glad for this post.
This information is of great import.
1.
My brother-in-law had picked up a dead elk off of the road:
Well it's not likely he carried it with his bare hands. That means the back of a truck was used. That means rotting dead flesh scent could have been in the back of the truck.
2.
he had the horn set sitting next to the house:
Not the dead carcass--just the antlers. That begs the question "where's the carcass"? And, how easy is it to remove antlers from and animal? Doesn't sound like he removed them while the dead elk was on the road. Is it a bloody mess to remove them? Is it a long process?
3.
sitting next to the house with meat still where the skull
With meat still on it. Yes, was this all done on purpose to mask blood or blood/human scent??
Or was the point of AM and PE guys---that if Suzzane's body was being eaten on by a cougar--why would he it waste its time with a set of antlers with some meat still on it?? Meaning---she wasn't killed by a cougar. She was killed by a human.[/QUOTE]

bam! yes, i think so, too, to all of this
@Warwick7.
which means BM's truck would have been caught on camera or by gps if he had gone anywhere that was not on his alleged schedule, at least from saturday night, to 5 am when he "left for denver/cs." and if this was as premeditated as i think it was, he could have pre-planned a special spot to put her. shoot, he could have worked on said spot all weekend long if it was on his property! i really think suzanne is on that property, and if she's not, she's somewhere around the job site, bc those 2 places are easily explained by BM's truck travelling there. everywhere else he would have travelled to would have been harder to explain, and i don't think he would have taken such a risk, not when we have seen how well he has covered his tracks (as far as we know). unless someone else stopped by the morphew's house that evening, and then left shortly thereafter, she's close by, i swear she is. and all the bizarro-land "coincidences" are to throw investigators off that scent.
