MOD NOTE - THIS POST LANDS AT RANDOM

Please stick to the facts in this case.

Thank you

What is interesting about the second undisclosed site where multiple cadaver dogs hit:

-It must have been a major area of interest for LE.
-Cadaver dog resources are limited, and we saw one at the beach front and know that was an area of high interest.
-So where ever that second location is must have had similar circumstances for them to be able to allocate multiple cadaver dogs to it. (Ie - gps tracking, interview information etc...)


Also, regarding the beach front. A passive hit from a veteran dog is about as good as it gets. The term passive just means how the dog responds - either sitting or laying at their final spot where they detect the scent. It’s called passive because the dog is taught not to disturb that final location as it’s a crime scene.

Dogs freaking rule. Mans best friend indeed.

First, I totally agree that humankind does not deserve dogs but we are so blessed to have them!

Second, This is a very exciting development. There are so many indications that this site has meaning both to law-enforcement, to Barry, to the dog, and also to, in my opinion, MG.

There's a lot that MG knows, and I think while certainly the Broomfield job could have been a cover and an additional extension of Barry's alibi, I also think it was very much a way to get MG out of town, and out of the reach of law-enforcement until when Barry would imagine they had bought the bike ride story, the heat on him would pass, and clearly Barry would be in the clear. I'm not sure if the other two people there were sent for reinforcement, to make sure that MG stayed put and didn't leave, or if they too had witnessed something that Barry did not want them to talk with law-enforcement about. And of course, there's the whole hush hush money thing.

And now...we wait. Praying that these developments will lead to justice for Suzanne.

Speaking of which, my heart is heavy reading about the vigil but also amazed at the effort and dedication of all who participated in the search. Thank you to @NoSI and @TKG for their participation, pics, and detailed first-hand accounts. We are with you. Thank you for being our eyes, ears, and hearts!

Consensus here-did Barry have help?

 

[DetectiveFoyleWannabe]

I hope you’re right @MassGuy. I remember when they took down Frazee. I know that would be their preferred method but the “duck” is unstable. Looks like c@arp (stress is getting the better of him?) Lack of sleep can make one really psychotic too! I suspect the last 5 days have done a real number on his psyche!

Anyway, hoping for an uneventful arrest in a very public place. It makes for exciting news.

I still wonder if he will off himself like Fotis Dulos.

 

[EggSalad]

So was her body temporarily at the beach site and the bobcat used to dig a hasty grave and then moved at 5am Sunday morning and this is the second undisclosed site ?
JMO

I’m wondering if maybe they’ll find an empty cooler or something like that at the beach front? Maybe BM used that job site to dispose of evidence, and used the bobcat someplace else to bury the body?

 

[Lilypad13]

ITA with everything you've said. I was listening to AM talking on PE and I'm pretty sure he said that when the dog hit, it also ate the grass and Chris went on to explain how the dogs are trained to hit on the smell and also the taste, or something along those lines.

It's interesting how they have given us the details and location of the passive hit at the beach area yet are keeping the other location secret, I wonder why?

Good morning ya’ll. Today could be a very big day!!! I was wondering about the Longhorn Ranch property for the secondary site specifically the well...that would also be BM’s private property. But what if someone took the dogs to the lot anyway and they made the non passive hits there? Could that complicate LE getting a search warrant? Another guess re possible site...what about a mine opening??

PE said getting a search warrant for the beach site might be complicated due to the river being government land. They said it might take a little time but if we see another excavation site go up we will know something is happening.

Also the #5 hint...I only had a chance to read a few pages last night and everyone was guessing what the “five” might mean and there were lots of posts with great ideas. This may have already been brought up this morning but on PE last night Mike said to keep thinking five and that there are five strong reasons and he also mentioned Bruce Lee. There is a famous Bruce Lee movie called Five Fingers of Death. I’m trying to decipher the meaning of the plot...it’s a revenge story about good guy vs. evil guys who killed a loved one and the bad guys ambush him and don’t fight fair and eventually Bruce Lee masters the technique called the “iron fist” and beats his enemies...or something like that!

I’d also be surprised if the beach site is a burial site,
CM did stress the fact that the dogs would also hit on maybe equipment that had been used there and had the scent on it.

JMO maybe a piece of equipment that had a “mechanical thing” done to it? << this is my speculation. Chris didn’t say this part.

This is what I have been thinking too. If the cadavarine was transferred there, into soil at the riverside beach, from the bobcat it makes even more sense why LE were so keen to know accurately from Barry where he changed the bobcat attachments and at what time. The bobcat’s location (with dodgy attachment) prior to the riverside is key I think.

 

[DetectiveFoyleWannabe]

Consensus here-did Barry have help?

I don’t think so. At least not knowingly if that makes sense. But just one persons opinion.

 

[Warwick7]

The passive response by a veteran cadaver dog at that beach site is great news, and LE’s response to immediately lock it down is meaningful. The fact that got a second undisclosed location that also had multiple cadaver dog responses is also so promising.

Wow!

Perhaps the Bobcat loaded on the trailer in the picture is headed to the car wash.

Maybe BM is getting leary about all the Bobcat talk and thinks it needs a good washing.

There may be a big truck wash nearby that he could take it to.

 

[susiQ]

My guess, Barry isn't too happy with the friend who released this photo

Maybe, maybe not. I suspect initially Barry figured this photo would work in his favour, you know, grieving Barry, so heartbroken. What he didn’t count on is that others are so much smarter than he is and saw it for was it was, theatrics! Not so smart Barry thinking he could outsmart LE and everyone else. Not working out so well for him
JMHO

He's too proud.

It will be either a stand off or he will go on the run.

Search for missing Chaffee County woman continues as vigil is held in Salida | 9news.com

The Chaffee County sheriff was at the vigil Friday night.

And the D.A. was also there according to someone who was at the vigil and called into to speak to Tricia live on WS!

Yes this! What was it PE said early on about an attachment at a pawn shop or mechanics? I can't remember...

 

[EggSalad]

Consensus here-did Barry have help?

IMO, yes. I’m unsure what type of help though.

And I don’t think this is what Mike w/ PE meant when he referenced 5, but coincidentally I have 5 people of interest:

BM
MG
CC
GD
TN

 

[enelram]

Is there a #5 Mine in the area?
#5 Forest Road?
5 in spanish- town or mountain named in Spanish?

I think there's more reasons that MG beat feet out of state. Maybe since she's distanced herself she's been more forthcoming with info she was
afraid to divulge earlier.
She's the key to the beach site and BM's time table here.
