Welcome to WS! Great post!
Goody .... thanks Swedeheart, on lunch break now, will have a look
A warm welcome to you and thank you for your insights.
But if you needed a fingerprint free bike an extra might come in handy..........moo
I’ll have to go back and listen but I thought BM said he forgot to tell LE what time he did something mechanical to his Bobcat. In other words he didn’t just say he forgot to mention something mechanical he did but also threw in the the time as part of the discrepancy. I might be remembering this incorrectly but even if BM himself didn’t bring up the time, why in the world would he need to do this mechanical thing so late at night? Especially if he was leaving at 5 am to go do the job in Broomfield. Shouldn’t he have been sleeping at that hour? If it was something he needed to do to the Bobcat to prepare for this job the next day (or that day by then) then why not just go to the construction site early in the morning, do whatever mechanical thing that needed done, load up the Bobcat and head to Broomfield? He didn’t need to go over there in the cover of darkness to do this thing, then go home and get only a few hours of sleep and then get up before dawn and leave for Broomfield. He was going to set up the job for Monday. He wasn’t on that tight of a time schedule that he would have had to do that mechanical thing in the middle of the night. The workers weren’t even there yet. Nobody was waiting on him. It doesn’t make any sense. IMO he got caught being there by LE from the gps data plus neighbor hearing the loud machinery noise and that was the best excuse he could come up with on the fly to explain why he was there and the noise.
You’re right, it’s nonsensical, parts from the spare beater bike would not be compatible with Suzanne’s high end bike IMO. Not only that, but iirc, LS reported that she confirmed Suzanne saw her bike mechanic/repair guy, Scot, on the Thursday (May 7, 2020) before she vanished, so why on earth would she need a parts bike lying around if she has her own bike mechanic? Iirc, LS also reported SM bike mechanic, Scot, wouldn’t/couldn’t elaborate more, my guess is, likely because LE asked him not to.
Thanks so much @dmac55 I thought so! And by him giving that ridiculous explanation hopefully it led LE to forensically examine his Bobcat. But it was sitting in the driveway with the end of a piece of yellow crime tape tied to it so ??? Did LE impound the Bobcat with the other vehicles and then return it to him? Why was BM hauling that darn Bobcat behind his truck everywhere he went during AM’s search? Weird. It seems strange that LE would go to the extreme effort of digging up the concrete and sifting through the dirt at the construction site but not take his Bobcat. Maybe they didn’t catch him omitting that little detail until later on after the gps data came in? I’ve been assuming it contributed to the FBI digging there but maybe there is still something else we aren’t aware of besides the neighbor hearing the noise - well and his ties to the construction going on at that site. I’m not trying to criticize LE here and we don’t know everything LE did or knows. Just curious and asking questions I have concerning the forgotten “mechanical thing” which could be anything from putting oil in it, changing out an attachment...or I don’t know...is burying a body a mechanical thing?
) or had a flat tire or got in an accident, hit a deer...anything can happen that late. I’m a worrier and probably couldn’t fall asleep until he was home safe. And if I was already being kept up past my bedtime, I would really be irritated that when I finally got to sleep I was woken up early before dawn on Mother’s Day. BM said he left Suzanne asleep in her bed that morning. Who knows, maybe Suzanne was a sound sleeper and didn’t wake up when BM stirs because she was used to him getting up really early for work. I’m not a light or heavy sleeper just average but I still always wake up a little bit if my husband gets up or my dog jumps on or off the bed. And there have been times when I have gone to sleep if he has to work late or a meeting has run late because I had to get up early for work the next morning. But I always wake up a little when he comes to bed. For that matter even when he is trying to be quiet, I hear the garage door open, then the door from the garage into the house, then him walking quietly down the hallway and through the bedroom into the bathroom to change, brush his teeth, etc. and finally I can feel him climbing into bed. Most people that share a bed don’t sleep that soundly. 
Yes he does! What is that “Legally Married” photo about? Is that BM?
Who reported that Barry claimed he bought the bike for parts. Where did that claim come from?
