There seems to be so much confusion in this case regarding the basic facts.
Most of the coverage of this case has been by the Daily Mail, The Sun, Inside Edition, the family's FB site - 'Find SM', the husband's plea (oddly not released in coordination with LE), Nancy Grace, us here at WS and a small blurb by Dateline.
There is a notable lack of traditional MSM coverage, ABC, NBS, CBS Denver affiliates, Denver newspapers, Chaffee County Sheriff press conferences etc.
I still can't figure out how information her bike came out and what was the source. Why wasn't the family's reward coordinated with LE or Crimestoppers? Why wasn't LE involved with BM's plea for his wife's return? Why isn't the Sheriff holding press conferences taking questions from reporters? Was she seen on her bike 5/10 or not? No source seems to want to verify any of this basic information.
I guess, I just need to ask why?
The only answer I can come up with is that keeping this information away from the public is helping LE investigate/solve/and find SM. I hope she is still alive and they're trying to bring her home safely.
Admittedly, I've not yet been able to catch up on this thread (yet), so maybe it's here, but I haven't run across it.
JMO, MOO
