ALL the coolers are missing????? Oh, that takes my mind to a grisly place.
I made the mistake just now of watching a video on how to field dress an elk. I'd like to rewind my brain.
To my surprise and horror, however, it was a clean, methodical process. Like a butcher, quarter-sawing sides of beef...
I have to ask, why, around the time Suzanne went missing, did BM have a rack and skull up by his house? Fresh kill. He just couldn't resist keeping the trophy?
Begs the question, where's the rest of it?
Maybe LE has some nice clear video footage of a certain truck with a bed of coolers.
Maybe one spilled, necessitating a chlorine cleanup of everything from the bed of that truck. Maybe hotel and nearby business footage shows a lot of trips in but not out, with coolers....
Where are they now? Hotel dumpster to landfill? Maybe LE has recovered a few... lotta searches we don't know about!
My timeline... 4 pm sandwiches, seen in town, I'm pushing that back to Friday. Saturday morning's abrupt end to messaging, I'm linking that to time of death. BM at the beach site from 9 to 11 with MG, I'm ascribing his weirdness, as noted by MG, to a function of his knowledge that, at that point, Suzanne was very findable, either still in the house, or perhaps in the bed of the truck. He'd be UNDERSTANDABLY panicked.
Had to go home "to make the wife happy", I'm calling that Diversion #1. A lame attempt to create the illusion Suzanne was still alive. What? Yeah, of course, my wife isn't dead.
That gives him from roughly noon until the whole next day to prepare, clean, and conceal.
Perhaps what LE relayed to AM is that there were no OBVIOUS signs of a struggle. Luminol could have told a very different story. Remember, when AM arrived in Maysville on that Monday following Mother's Day, LE had SECURED the house, they hadn't yet executed a SEARCH WARRANT. The subsequent searches may have unearthed plenty of struggle, information investigators may have very good reason to withhold, even from close family.
It can't be a coincidence that there are no listing photos of the kitchen, mudroom and garage. That second search of the home may have dismantled the entire plumbing system in those rooms, hence an AS IS sale. That's also a good reason to make sure that the girls never see the state of those rooms.
Shocking, however, that he wouldn't hire a bunch of meth heads to restore those rooms at least cosmetically before listing, or do the work himself when he's not not-searching.
In my adjusted timeframe, I think BM did make himself visible on the afternoon of that Saturday in Salida. Shopping. Buying cleaning supplies. Or dressing supplies. Mentally working out a suitable alibi, something he never did accomplish.
I think wherever the missing elk body is, that's where Suzanne is too.
FWIW, the hard of hearing Salida neighbor heard only a half hour of activity at the beach site. That doesn't mean there wasn't more to hear. Even a half hour, however, indicates someone was doing something at a time when nothing should have needed to be done.
It's notable to me, nobody's found the rest of the elk.
Why?
All these are just my opinions
