I thought RT’s lawyer’s comments odd. “Still frantically working on a way to get information to bring [Barbara] home.”
Maybe just worded weirdly...

Several of the quotes in the story were disjointed, Just grateful her story is getting out there, hoping this story will spur other reporters to contact Matt and SBCSO for updates.

@GordianKnot, from tonight's Indiana news:
  • Matt is certain Robert is involved in BT's disappearance.
  • Matt didn't find out that his mother was missing until six days later.
  • They call her Grandma Barbie.
  • Matt is Barbara's only child.
  • In addition to a bikini, red hat, etc., Matt says Barbara was wearing sunglasses.
  • Matt said, "None of it adds up," and "I hope he tells the truth."
  • Robert referred the reporter to his lawyer who said they are still frantically working on ways to get Barbara home.
  • And last but not least, Balant's last name is pronounced "Sell-a-var-e" ;)
MOO

Thank you for that most excellent summary, Pommy!

JMO.

Any coverage is good coverage right now, that's for sure.


Yes, they were.
And that's definitely odd.

Those first couple of pages he turned over were definitely all about Palestine and Israel.
I paused the frames and could read the notes pretty much word for word.
Tres weird.

I'm really hoping those notes are totally unrelated to M's thoughts on the case.
Hoping they're just separate research notes for something else he's working on...the reporter did say M had "pages and pages of notes," but didn't specify what all the notes were about, I noticed.

It was hugely helpful to finally hear something from the SBSCO, even it was via phone interview.
LE made it crystal clear that they conducted a thorough, exhaustive search out there, and the reporter stated that they are now pursuing "other leads."

I think we all know what that means.

JMO.

There was a note page that started with “Bullhead City” I tried to read it, but my phone kept losing the paused video when I tried to enlarge. Anyone else able to read those notes? Sheriff number, name and Something Strange about “funneling money overtime...to pay ?” along with lots of other things. I agree the Palestinian and Israel notes seemed unrelated. I saw a 1946 date on one of those pages

I saw a lot in the note titled Bullhead City. None of which we are allowed to post about here per TOS. Very interesting nevertheless o_O

I took it to mean that they’re trying to see what it’ll take to make things right again.
I took it as a hopeful sign that Barbara could be home soon.

Maybe it was really a kidnapping.

Ummmmmm....or not? Hopefully hoping she is being held somewhere, but know it’s very unlikely. Sigh....

I don't see why she could not have had a cell phone if she wanted to.
According to the VI, it seemed she had no interest.
Her family gave her one to use in Hong Kong and she left it behind.
If she didn't have many friends or much of a social life I can see why she may not have had a use for a cell phone, especially since she was a private person. Imo
I never had, nor wanted, a cell phone for myself. My husband had one for some years and after he upgraded to an IPhone, I used it sometimes, when he wasn't at work. Our son finally got me my own cell a year and a half ago, because I go wandering on our acreage and he wanted me to have it. Unfortunately, I now use it too much, lol.

Lafayette man's mother still missing after hiking in the Mojave Desert with husband

"There are times at work where I sit there working and like a little boy I lost my mommy and I start crying.

poor matt. I truly feel his pain.:(
have the feeling his mother has been slowly slowly taken away from him over time.( that's just speculation on my part)
but how cruel and vindictive RT NOT EVEN TELLING HIM AT ALL.:mad:
suss.

"The sheriff's department stopped looking for Barbara Thomas July 22nd. They're pursuing other leads, and so is Shellinkout."

Thank you, Matt, for getting your mom's story out there. Here's what I did tonight to hopefully get a few media outlets to pick it up. I wrote a short note and linked the article:

Barbara Thomas has been missing since July 12. She was allegedly last seen hiking in the Mojave desert. Please help us find Barbara.

Lafayette man's mother still missing after hiking in the Mojave Desert with husband

Then I googled news sites in Nevada, Arizona and Southern CA, found contact button or email address, sent the note and link, and attached the Missing flyer. Anyway, I hope now that Matt has given an interview to an MSM source, other news outlets might be more willing to pick up the story. It's pretty fast to copy and paste a short note. Please join me! Bring BT home!

@firstsleuth As a complete outsider with no knowledge of the area, I can only compare it in general terms, so my offer is:
We're told they often go on these trips, so had probably travelled that road a few times. Maybe on earlier occasions they had said while passing, "We'll stop and have a look at that outcrop, that creek, some time", and this time they did. They might have made another short stop earlier on.

I expect most of us have experienced something similar as we drive past a point of interest: "Must visit there one day .... "
(BBM): Google Maps below shows their home is 100+ miles east of that remote road in the Mojave Desert. Nothing in MSM or from her husband about having travelled that road before. Just that they liked to go out into the desert. In fact, RT told LE they had never been there before, and just pulled off at the side of the road to check out some rock formations as they were starting out a camping trip. A bit of a haul and "very remote" according to LE, which is why they said in MSM they did not think she had been abducted. Not nearby or a well travelled road they had been on before, IMO.

i was told they had explored and camped twenty miles down the road in the past. robbie said it was the first time theyd been in this particular area, and also that theyd planned to explore the rock formation after seeing it from the road.
robs daughter told me they had all been camping there before, but i took that to mean broadly, they had gone camping in the mojave together
