Thx for a recap of water levels!On Friday at 8:15 am (closed thread so I can’t quote) I posted water level data that indicates that the water level of the Arkansas River in Salida was nearly 10 inches higher on May 22nd than May 9th. So I think beach was NOT underwater on the 9th. @PaulaDC also indicated drone footage suggested beach area was not underwater around May 9.
You can search this forum for the word underwater to find my post with the attached graphs which show water level for the year and water level May 1 through Friday.
“I looked at the historic water level data and it appears that the water level of the Arkansas River at Salida was nearly 10 inches higher on May 22nd than on May 9th so I agree with @PaulaDC that the beach area was likely not underwater on the 9th when it was reportedly raked. JMO - I am not a subject matter expert. Attaching the graphs. Compare Data”
Listen to Tricia's youtube live stream from last night. It was talked about on there for sure (sometime before the 35min elapsed time, but I don't recall exactly where in the stream).I just now finished listening to that podcast. I did not hear Chris saying
a pink bike was purchased. Did I miss that part?
I think this may be the guy "Scot" (spelled with one t), who is a bicycle repair guy in town or near Salida who has worked on SM's bike previously. Chris from PE has mentioned Scot and it's been in reference to bike(s) and perhaps maybe bike parts.
Chris was saying last night (note: check PE video and Tricia's youtube live video) that a pink bike was purchased and Chris doesn't know what for, but surmised it could be for parts. That's as much as I know.
Wait! What? Some of you think he might've staged a photo op???
Then again, he set the precedence.

I didn't suggest it was a new bike nor did I hear Chris from PE, who was on Tricia's show last night, say anything about "new." A pink bike was allegedly purchased, that's all I heard. Chris M from PE guessed that one reason for this bike purchase "could be" for parts.For the record, as a longtime cyclist, I can't imagine anyone buying a new bike for parts. Maybe buying a used/wrecked bike cheap for parts, but anyone doing that would probably not be taking their bikes to a shop for work.

Ita.re BM’s statement about doing a mechanical thing to his bobcat
While I think it’s most likely that he did something mechanic to his bobcat in committing this crime, I’ve also wonder if:
Maybe BM saying ‘I did something mechanical thing to my bobcat’ in relation to his alibi/timeline being off is not because of the bobcat specifically but because his GPS data puts him at a worksite at a day/time he did not disclose and his excuse to LE was ‘oh yeah, I did a mechanical thing to my bobcat then’. But in reality, he was doing something completely different at that job site and he is using work on the bobcat as his excuse to be there.
bbmMOO On the fence about BM having help. I don’t see him trusting anyone with the info of what he did to SM, he would certainly B-splain it as not his fault. I’m not sure he would need help with anything other than a different vehicle to drive to dispose of SM.
I keep wondering what he did with the “road kill” carcass of the dead elk!? Did he use it in disposing of SM, to try to hide the scent?
That has crossed my mind several times, she would have fit into the carcass of a large bull elk easily, just not sure he had time to get that done.MOO On the fence about BM having help.

I call those people “followers”, they’re never leaders. They allow that “someone“ to do their thinking for them, following and hanging on that person’s every word. How any “friend” of BM’s can turn their back on finding SM is beyond me. BM has drawn a line in the sand, him on one side, LE & everyone else on the other side. Either you’re with him or you must be against him, Nevermind about the missing “love of his life.”
Looks like gaslighting is one of the 5 tools of the trade.For my simple mind, I see it as what I would call gas lighting to get someone else to tell your *story*?
Others here may be able to compare the two better than I can in words/explanation if gas lighting is comparable?
I think Scot, Suzanne’s bike repair man, will help blow the “bike ride” narrative out of the water.
I think this means that Suzanne’s bike had been staged and was not in working order.
Why else would a “pink bike purchased for parts” be relevant (unless Scot can help establish Suzanne’s last known whereabouts ie: Scot spoke with Suzanne Sat morning about replacing a bike part.)
I can't keep up, so I don't know what picture is being discussed. Can someone post it again, please?There's no question in my mind that BM staged that scene.
He's like a soap opera actor in one those dreadful 1980s commercials:
"I'm not a doctor, but I play one on t.v."
"I'm not a loving husband, but I play one in real life."
The photographer who took the pic may or may not have been aware that BM was posing for the camera.
My money's on the man behind the cameraphone being oblivious that what he was seeing was nothing more than really bad performance art.
I don't think he directed BM to lie down and splay his legs out in an exhausted pose.
I think he was simply an unwitting audience member, who took a photo from the gallery of what he saw as an unusual scene.
2 things to keep in mind about that photo:
For those reasons, I dismissed that picture as having any significance whatsoever as soon as I heard about it.
- BM utilizes misdirection as a diversionary tactic.
- BM likes to control the narrative.
It got tossed straight into my mental "deleted items" folder.
