From this listing:

Optional Notices Sold As Is

Yep, can't even be bothered to negotiate any issues with the house...BM wants to get the hell out of dodge! JMO

 

[PaulaDC]

SPECULATION:

Selling a house? The plan progresses, the plan to get hands on, oh, say, $500,000 without having made it too obvious to a SO?

MOO MOO MOO

I'm wondering if he's going to sell it to himself. I believe I read that he's done that before. moo

I know it’s wrong but I really want to write the realtor and ask which room BM murdered SM in so I can plan renovations accordingly. Why are they listing it as a Poncha Springs property? I think I need a break from this infuriating case.

I know the word "basement" was used early on and it was stated that there was no basement but I grew up in a tri-level. There was no "basement" but the lower level was below ground much like a photo I see that appears to be a small family room area that the window is up high. Im wondering if that's the room that was being mentioned as we called that level the basement also. jmo

Suddenly the home touts High Speed Internet and a Security System? I think the photo with the three marks in the bathroom is actually necklaces. I find the photos disturbing. I don’t think she’s buried there but I think she died there. Odd there are no good photos of the master nor the kitchen.

My guess would be the male neighbor that spoke on camera.

Please disregard my post, I was wrong in saying a neighbor spoke on camera. Sorry if I mislead or confused anyone

I’ve followed The last few CO cases and I’m convinced they collected what was necessary I’ve never thought her body was on the property (I’m the wood chipper theory person) but I do believe this listing may cause a new press release in the next week possibly
JMO

Thank you so much for your reply. I sure hope that there is a new press release soon. BM may very well have used a wood chipper. He's so cocky in his assuredness that Suzanne will never be found. How much bleach does it take to clean up a wood chipper? hmmm.

Listing Pix for Puma Path?

@osu Did anyone else notice that all 19 pix were exterior pix??? Any significance???

(Sorry if already noted & discussed. Catching up.)

ETA: Adding this from a post by @LietKynes
Side note : If you want, you can sign up for a video tour of the house. bbm

Someone said they signed for access to vid tour. Can vid be added to media page, so the real estate agent is not deluged w our lookie-loo, non-buyer requests?
Reporting my post, for one of our wonderful Mods w the patience of Job to answer. TiA.

Be interesting to see the interior pictures. On the outside this home is very cold feeling, not much character and not enough windows IMO

 

[payitforward3000]

Anyone else find it odd that the landscaping actually looked better back in 2015 when it was listed than it does now??

 

[GordianKnot]

Yes, @Megnut. I haven't been able to shake it since the search. He is just acting too sure of himself... Too confident/convinced that she will not be found...

I have a completely opposite read on BM right now.

I think he's feeling extremely anxious and rattled right now.

He's been making bad move after bad move.

It's interesting to me that the house got listed on the heels of that body being discovered in Saguache County.

Even if it's not SM, it does potentially speak to BM's hyper-reactivity to news of bodies being discovered.

I think he's in a state of near constant apprehension, wondering when the axe is going to fall.

The thought is not an unhappy one.

JMO.

19057 Puma Path, Poncha Springs, CO 81242 | MLS #4727659 | Zillow
There are limited interior pics on the listing now.

 

[Teche]

When we downsized and sold our home, our realtor had a person come in to stage each room by rearranging furniture, depersonalized, and a few days later a photographer came for still shots and video tour.

These pictures look like some that Barry took on his cell phone.

Missing woman’s house for sale in Chaffee County | FOX21 News Colorado

Note: Lauren Scharf is the author of this article.

 

[MassGuy]

Yeah, she’s written a few lately. It appears she’s been relegated to desk duty.

 

[mom2chloe]

I wonder if LE will do a final sweep before the house is sold? I'd hate to be the new owner and have LE show up with a warrant to search again.

It’s happened before in the McStay case where the new owners granted permission for LE to return and remove flooring, drywall etc. and they learned there was indeed blood evidence. IMO

 

[mom2chloe]

Who? Somebody that intended to do just as he's doing.

I’m interested to know if BM has a savvy and knowledgeable attorney friend back home.

 

[Hatch]

It is very dark inside, especially with the amount of wood beams, fixtures and being tucked as it is near the mountains. IMO

It is sparsely furnished in my opinion, very basic. No signs of a beautiful woman living there.

 

[mom2chloe]

The left-side wall just to the right of the mirror above the towel racks in the new photo reveals gouge marks ... can't really see them in the old photo.

It looked to me as though the towel racks were not symmetric. IMO

That's typical in selling a house. It's important to remove all the things that personalize a house, because sellers need potential buyers to imagine themselves and their own belongings in the house. It's something stagers make sure and do to help get a house ready to sell. No clutter at all, no frou-frou, no doilies, no magnets on the fridge, all personal photos removed, clean and not a lot of furniture to overwhelm any of the spaces. My realtor used a stager when I sold a property years ago. IMO
