Your point, of the window of opportunity, made me think about when it opens and when it closes.

The odd FB activity around midnight, when he may have used his phone to login to Suzanne's account, will show his location. After that, if his phone is turned off, his window opens.

Then he is reported to be texting his employee at 4am. His phone is on, his location is known. His window shuts.

Speculation, all moo.

I agree - if we assume the 3 1/2 hour window is legit, I think this is most likely it. We definitely have a timeline with a lot of questions (even more now with these revelations) and it's impossible to know what's true considering none of it is confirmed by LE. But if the friend requests came "shortly after midnight" and BM was texting co-workers at 4 am, that matches up.

As @Ontario Mom continues to point out, the text messaging with the friend that ended abruptly is a key piece that we're really in the dark about. When did that actually happen (and was it after her last confirmed sighting)? What was the context of the conversation, and why was the friend immediately alarmed? Certainly if SM was seen after that communication ended, it becomes far less important (at least to the timeline).

In trying to make sense of the FB activity, it seems that the main motive would be to a) try to stall her friend who was probably alarmed and blowing up her phone (I'm still not clear on whether she was texting or talking to her over FB) b) making it appear SM was alive later than she was by "doing stuff" on FB and/or c) check her FB messenger history to see who she was talking to and the content of those conversations. So if BM logged into FB as SM from his phone, that would account for the friend suggestions. If he proceeded to go into her account and wanted to "do something" to make it look like she was alive, maybe he clicked on AMs profile and liked some of his posts. Simply doing that would have potentially put AMs friends in SMs "PYMK" or "Friend Suggestions", and maybe BM simply clicked on those suggestions (not really realizing how odd this behavior actually would have been for SM). Pure speculation on my part... JMO, MOO.
 
Sorry, I'm swimming upstream as have missed so much. WHO/WHERE is said that Suzanne was verified at a sandwich shop at 4 pm on Saturday.

We are just hearing this now?

That doesn't jive with what PE and others associated have been saying for a long long time MOO.

Not at all.
This was reported today on the Dr Phil show. Please see link up thread.
 
Yeah, didn't AM last say the phone was dead at 8:00 am and he believed she killed around this time?

If she was seen in town at 4:00 pm, was her phone still dead? Could it have been a false sighting? If not, then the abrupt ending at 12:30 pm doesn't make sense either.

What still makes the most sense is the communication lasting from mid- afternoon to mid-evening and ending abruptly at 9:00 pm. PE still has this on their timeline and have never changed it as far as I can tell.

At one point, Andy said that her texting stopped at 8 am.... he said he believed "Saturday morning, she was gone."

Now Andy says she was seen on Saturday at 4, buying a sandwich.

What changed?

What changed is ANDY WAS BRIEFED by FBI and CSI before he left town.

(I still think it's possible the sighting was a misspeak and was Friday.)

What we can take as gospel is that BM was indeed on the road and on his phone at 4 am. Midnight to 4 am, where was he?

Anyone over the age of 22 keeping his secrets needs to come forward.

The info re: friends of AM receiving friend requests from SM is true.

Thank you - great timeline!!
 
my understanding is the Dr Phil show

Thanks so much for the link oviedo. I must learn to got to the media thread before I ask such questions for you to take the time to go back and help. Appreciated, as I know that many of us here miss stuff when threads move so quickly and RL interferes with keeping up!

I must say, what a cluster as to the timeline as to if this is from LE information, or what is rumor that is being touted now - as Barry has said this as it was never stated prior with PE interviews, and MOO exactly the opposite almost during the search.

Very concerning and perhaps an example of why LE wants things close to the vest.
 
Why would the usual suspect "meet and hire" anybody especially a friend of a"meth head " female employee with no skills for a fake wall job in Broomfield? Did the new Hire take a polygraph? I don't know if this is a fact or a fabrication ... Think about it- Megan, no job, a stranger......why? ....why this particular guy...maybe a patsy ? Wheres Megan? Wheres the other employee? I think unraveling the truth on this is key. IMO

Well, we don't know if this sighting has been confirmed. I thought I remembered a similar story early on but it turned out to be someone else. Does anybody remember discussing that in one of the earlier threads? Someone suggested she was buying food in preparation for Mother's Day? I could be wrong. In every case there always seems to be at least one false sighting at some point.

Sunday 5/10/20

4:00 a.m. New Info

BM is driving towards Broomfield texting workers

According to MG, BM contacts her and asks her to get a crew together to head to Broomfield for the job. MG stated that BM sounded like he had the worst night of his life. ?

5:00 a.m.: Conflicting Info

BM told LE that he leaves SM sleeping and heads to a job in Broomfield, CO approximately 3 hours from his home in Maysville. The job allegedly consists of a repair to a wall that BM had completed the previous September and that had structural problems.


A.M. Exact time unknown:

BM checks into the HIE in Broomfield.


5:46 p.m.:

SM is reported missing by a neighbor. SM’s daughters allegedly contacted her and said they were worried because they hadn’t been able to reach their mother. Exact details are unclear, but neighbor checked the house and did not find SM but noted her car was there. ETA THE FOLLOWING INFO SHOULD BE ATTRIBUTED TO PE NOT TD: The neighbor then allegedly contacted BM and he asked her to go back and check if her bike was there. The neighbor checked, returned home, and called BM on her landline and told him the bike was gone. BM asked her to call LE.

Approximately 6:00 p.m.:

BM started home to Maysville. (TD)

After 6:00 exact time unknown:

JP, MG, and a third worker arrived at the HIE in Broomfield. It is not clear if all 3 travelled together. JP and MG both report that there was an intense smell of chlorine in the room and several wet towels on the floor. JP stated that it looked like someone had laid down on the bed, on top of the bedspread. MG stated that the bed looked like it had been slept in and remade.

BM let workers know that he had left for a family emergency and that they were on their own. Workers allegedly found some of BM’s tools in a “hotel cart”. MG stated they looked like a bunch of tools from the back of BM’s truck. Both JP and MG indicated they had neither the correct tools nor the materials to do the job.

Approximately 6:00 p.m.:

LE arrives at the Morphew home where they are met by the neighbor who reportedly told them that SM had not returned from a bike ride.

LE begins a search. Dog teams from the prison and County SAR teams are called in. (CCSO)

Sometime before 9:00 p.m. :

LE allegedly finds SM’s bike down a hill about a quarter of a mile from her home. (Never verified by LE). There is no sign of SM. The Morphew home is allegedly sealed off.

Friend(s) of BM arrive at search area (unverified)

Approximately 9:00 p.m.:

BM arrives home.

Friend(s) tell BM that SM’s bike was found and that LE mishandled the scene/evidence. (BM to TD)

(At some point, either Sunday night or Monday, volunteer firefighters were told not to participate in the official searches. BM told TD in a later video that his friend tried to stop LE from mishandling the evidence, which may have been the reason that they were not allowed to participate further.)

Monday 5/11/20

Time unknown:

Concrete foundation is poured at the Salida dig site.

A.M.:

Search resumes after overnight break. Over 100 LE are eventually involved including LE on foot, drones, divers, aircraft, SAR, Swift Water Rescue units, and various canines.

BM calls MG crying and tells her SM is missing and that either a mountain lion got her or she was abducted. He stated they were going up the mountain to search. He tells MG and JP to stay in Broomfield and wait for supplies to be delivered for the job.

PM.:

AM arrives in town to help look for his sister, meets with BM and some friends, and they formulate a plan to search for SM the following day.

Tuesday 5/12/2020

A.M.:

LE continue their search. No request for volunteers was made.

BM, AM, and friends divide into teams to search. They were not allowed to search where LE was actively searching, but could cover area already searched. AM and BM we’re on separate teams. At one point, a member of AM’s team separated from the group. They backtracked to try to find him. He was later located back at the home where BM was staying. (On the following Thursday, 5/14/2020, a personal article belong to SM, was found about 20 yards from the trail where AM’s team was searching. Were they meant to find it? Was it placed there by the disappearing team member?)

Exact time unknown:

MG, JP, and possibly one other person arrived back in Salida after no supplies were delivered to complete the job in Broomfield.


MG was allegedly approached by two individuals connected to BM, TN and GD, who told her she would not be paid for her time in Broomfield because it would look like hush, hush, money. MG also implied that she was asked not to cooperate with LE or turn over her phone.

8:00 p.m.:

BM was observed by an employee of the Poncha Market digging in a trash can. (The market had closed at 7:00 p.m.) Upon being questioned, BM states he is looking for a bike helmet.

Shortly thereafter, BM taps on market window and when they let him in he stated that his wife was missing. When asked for a description he wrote a note on a crumbled receipt. The note said:

Baby Blue bike
helmet

Biking clothes

(No further description)


By Tuesday or Wednesday, CCSO has asked CBI and FBI for assistance.

This time line is so very helpful. As I struggle with new, conflicting information, it occurs to me that this progression is probably seen by profession LE as the norm.
Moo
 
Thanks. I’m glad you did. I checked them out and didn’t realize station 5 is RIGHT THERE! Just wanted to acknowledge @Fireflize got there first. :)

If the station is the #5 reference then what does that imply? Firefighter buddy accomplice? Or BM took Suzanne’s body there? She was burned? (Sorry :() Too bad that building and grounds were not searched with cadaver dogs. How far is the tree with the rocks from Station #5? It appears to be a small station which is probably a volunteer station that is not manned 24 hours. If BM burned Suzanne’s remains (again sorry :() then it would be easier to bury her under a tree. Maybe she was initially buried near the beach, moved to LHR and then burned and finally buried under the tree? All speculation.

Also re Dr. Phil...could that be what Chris was referring to on Live chat last night? He said something was going to come out soon and the 5 would become clear. The Dr. Phil clip revealed BM was on the road at 4 am texting his workers. Therefore he couldn’t have left Suzanne sleeping at 5 am. So is that the #5 reference then? :confused:

Also according to the Dr. Phil clip Suzanne was alive and getting food in town at 4 pm on Saturday. If that is true then the timeline is narrowed down to exclude Friday but how did Andy get the 3.5 hours if we aren’t sure who was on Facebook at midnight? And what about her texting with her friend and the communication abruptly ending around 12:30 pm on Saturday if she was alive at 4 pm?
 
Yeah, didn't AM last say the phone was dead at 8:00 am and he believed she killed around this time?

If she was seen in town at 4:00 pm, was her phone still dead? Could it have been a false sighting? If not, then the abrupt ending at 12:30 pm doesn't make sense either.

What still makes the most sense is the communication lasting from mid- afternoon to mid-evening and ending abruptly at 9:00 pm. PE still has this on their timeline and have never changed it as far as I can tell.

It's hard to know what to believe. IMO
 
It seems AM has either been given a green light from LE to reveal certain info, in which case we might expect an LE action (arrest and presser) Real. Soon. Now. ... or ... AM has gone rogue against LE request to remain silent, in which case we still might expect an LE action (arrest and presser) but not necessarily Real. Soon. Now.

But .... soon.
 
I consider disclosing that BM was reported to be texting while driving to Broomfield around 4am, trying to pull a crew together a detail that had not been made public before. I call it an intentional leak. Not to harm the investigation, no. But he is putting out the info that wasn't out previously. My assumption is that he isn't doing this against LE's wishes. IMO

ETA: the word "leak" might the issue. There are many synonyms which can be used in its place if one prefers: disclose, announce, divulge, affirm, profess, say, tell, reveal, just to name a few.

I also consider BM telling LE and LS that he left at 5 am and Suzanne was asleep but knowing he left earlier and was texting people another sign of his stupidity. Duh! Didn’t he know LE would check his phone and that would be easily proven to be a lie? I guess he really did think they would buy the abduction story hook, line & sinker and never suspect him! Big mistake, HUGE!
 
(Repost for everyone just coming in).

New info:

*BM called Gene and told him he loved his daughter, and asked him to sign guardianship papers.

* Andy believes it happened in the house, and she was then taken to a second location, hence "abduction." He also believes she was murdered.

*Suzanne was last seen at a sandwich shop (with BM) on Saturday, around 4pm.

*Friend requests went out to Andy's friends around midnight, Saturday night.

*BM was driving around at 4am Sunday morning, texting his workers like crazy from the road.

*EVI did not line up with BM's version of events.

* 3 areas the dogs hit:
-riverfront
-a tree planting
-an addition being put in, in an entrance area with blocks
