I was able to download the 72 page document to my laptop. I know it's too big to upload here so I'm saving it again but in small sections. I may be able to get some of it uploaded.

Pages 1-8 is the probable cause document. I had to split it into 2 PDFs.

Thank you, Payroll! I have the pdf on my laptop as well but it didn't cross my mind to divide it up like this. Duh! lol

72 Pages of court documents released ....

ONLY ON FOX 4: What a man bought, that could prove he killed his Cape boyfriend

FOX 4's Senior Reporter Kaitlin Knapp takes a deep dive into 72 pages of court documents, revealing shocking new details from police in the case of a missing Cape Coral man, and his subsequent murder.

www.fox4now.com

Some quotes from this article:

"After searching Davis's phone through a search warrant later, police say Davis searched for "Walmart near me." Around 9:38 p.m., police caught Davis on camera buying a tarp, two rolls of utility tape and chocolate milk..."

"On July 21, another neighbor told police he saw Davis drag something out of the condo and that it sounded like a heavy tarp. The neighbor said the lights were out in the stairwell, but later came back on. Eventually Cape Coral detectives found that Davis's fingerprints were on the bulbs.

On that same day, documents say Davis bought a shovel and pick-axe at a Clewiston hardware store. He also had bought a hand truck in Cape Coral."

"...Police tracked his movements through license plate readers across several counties."

"On July 24, police noticed fresh cuts and scratches on his hands, forearms, ankles and shins. Davis said it was the cat"

The icing on the cake: "From the day Barry disappeared until August, documents say Davis used Barry's credit cards to buy several things, including car air freshners."

Thank goodness for it, but lord, what a dumb criminal.

Unfortunately, we still don't know where Barry is. Don't know if we ever will. Everyone up here in Chicago need some closure. Friends and family need a place to visit him. I hope that door hasn't closed on everybody....

I would say everything points near the second Airbnb by Lake Okeechobee... Right? Because of all the debris found in that Airbnb including sand? The matted grass outside? That's the area that should be searched....don't you agree? I wonder if they have any other GPS locations besides at that second Airbnb house and the road to it and back? Maybe locations with something on foot? I think I remember reading that he (Davis) was wearing an Apple Watch I don't know if it was Barry's or not. Just my thoughts....
