[Respectfully snipped.]
Good point.
I'm also wondering big time now what item LE discovered on that search when they closed the major road going over Monarch Pass and had all those agencies participating. That's a really big deal to close a major highway like that. And it seems like most highway searches are on the verges and brush; you wouldn't need to shut down traffic in both directions or maybe even at all.
Maybe they were concerned an unwanted "party" could insert him/herself into the mix and remove evidence? Add more "evidence"?
Also, if BM drove up there to throw something out of his truck, there might be highway or business cameras that recorded him driving by? We did hear LE ask people to keep their camera footage, but maybe significantly, we haven't heard if they've used any of it. I'll bet they very well might have, but, as with everything else, have managed to keep that info out of the public eye.
I think one reason has to be to keep any potential suspects out of the area. Since Sheriff Spezze told the firefighters they couldn't join in, I think it's fairly obvious who they were trying to keep out of that area. Perhaps it was merely to keep the Fire Chief from blabbing about what they found to everyone else. I think the main "someone else" is obvious.
Does that area include the Fire Camp?
I don't think any of the highway cams are the kind that take pictures (convincing facts about those cams posted a few threads ago). However, closing the road to search a particular area thoroughly (probably not a research of the grid circle) is major. After that, LE apparently gets a warrant to drill out and dig under someone's newly poured garage foundation (I believe that's what it was, I think it was on CrimeOnline).
Perhaps the truck has GPS - or, more likely in a case like this, the perp didn't know that wireless service isn't necessary for GPS to work in the phone - nor does putting it on airplane mode work, either. Turning one's phone off completely is something many modern perps know is a Big Red Flag and looks terrible to a jury or judge.
By now, LE has at least talked on the phone to the daughters (I'd think) or visited them where ever they are.
We should note that the
Fire Chief, who has been hanging out with BLM and has knowledge of his pacing around his temporary home,
does not know where the daughters are.
Special search road closure, no BOLO, daughters not staying with father, cement chopped, items taken out of family home, email with a very specific scenario sent to church in Indiana less than 24 hours after Suzanne goes missing, no public appeal by daughters...this is obviously being treated as a potential murder. LE can see this pattern as well as we can, plus they now have BLM's and SM's phone records (longterm), as well as credit card information, etc.
If they found forensic items at Fire Camp or elsewhere in the mountains up highway 50, I'd think results would be back by now. This isn't cold yet, but I do hope something dramatic happens soon.
The unnamed relative of Suzanne who says they think the girls are "under protection" paints a very sobering portrait. Why do the girls need protection?
