There are multiple storage unit facilities in the Buena Vista and Johnson Village areas (on the way to where BM drove to the "job" in the southern part of Denver on May 10 and around the area where he turned his phone back on the morning of May 10). But I'd expect that if the remains were placed in a storage unit, BM likely used some kind of sealed container (like the reportedly missing hunting coolers or perhaps a lidded barrel that could not be traced to him).

ETA: Maybe that large, wide "tree pot" he threw away at the hotel in Broomfield was utilized to hold a barrel in the bed of his truck until he arrived in Buena Vista or Johnson Village to stow the barrel in a storage unit?
Hoping they can pull some footage from any storage unit Barry rented !
I'd consider his girlfriend maybe helped him (Shawna Darke ?) , but I doubt he'd trust anyone else with such a crime & handling evidence of murder.
As far as he could, he wouldn't endanger himself with letting someone assist in Suzanne's disposal.
Because Barry cares about Barry's well-being and no one else's.
Imo.
 
Boxer they have been supportive of what he has told them all this time. Do you really think they will turn on him just because a grand jury has indicted dear old dad again? Don’t think so. The road ahead for them will be bumpy. It’s hard to change your mind when you’ve been locked into that lie with him for so long. They must be heartbroken. But I always knew a day would come when they were hit squarely in the face with truth. Barry should plead guilty. He took their mom from them then lied to their faces. He’s evil and twisted and that’s the best i can say about him.
All true.
Suzanne was basically leaving him because he was/is non-reachable, had no serious side for her.
For instance she asked him to be home more when they moved to Colorado and instead he joined the volunteer fire department (which is super time demanding.)
The daughters, especially the older one know no other way a Dad is.

I'd expect that he'd need an email address and a credit card to rent a storage unit, but he could certainly use a fake name for the contract (Lee Moore?), a prepaid gift-type credit card for the monthly automatic payments, and a new email address. And to avoid LE detecting those, he'd have to have NEVER used either in association with his regular email address or phone or credit card.

If LE were able to find some footage of BM visiting such a storage unit facility, maybe he'd have worn that wig SD was sporting in the lobby when the two stayed at the Antlers Hotel on Valentines Day (was it 2021...).

This is speculation about a storage facility. Nothing has been reported about such.

I don't know about Colorado or now, but in 2004 I was passing through AZ with a truck load of goods for a Renaissance Faire. I wanted to store it for the week while I went to do something else because I was coming back that way for another Renn Faire the following weekend. I stopped at a handy dandy storage rental place and for the low low price of $30 cash rented a 5X8 space for five days, no questions asked, no name given. Not sure how it is now.
 

Snipped from article:

Barry, who owned a scruffy trailer park in Cave Creek, will now be extradited to the San Luis Valley in Colorado to face charges.

His 'Stardust Trailer Park' billed itself a 'boutique community' offering short and long-term rentals, but had a dilapidated and depressing air when visited by DailyMail.com in 2024.

His daughters have yet to comment on the charges brought against their father.

I do love how the DM describes Barry's trailer park bidness:

"Scruffy....dilapidated....depressing."

Sounds exactly right.

It should have been called Shady Acres.

Corrected- unknown if BM owns or just rented a space at Stardust.

Holy moly imo BM’s aged quite a bit in 4 years and looks angry as he!! in today’s mugshot.

I’m dying to know what he said upon his arrest which when asked that question by someone at the presser “what did Barry say when he was arrested?”, AK replied that she couldn’t get into/release that info now but assured that that information will be part of their case presented in court! Inquiring minds want to know, my head’s spinning with all kinds of ideas trying to guess what all he said to the arresting officers but have to wait to trial to find out argghhhh, I totally get it though…I guess, j/k lol.

IMHOO

Maybe he picked that location/room for that very reason. On top of everything else he did to cover his tracks, now we find out that he possibly bleached the bones and changed her clothes as well. Sad to think about but there is no telling how far he went.
Thank you, my search missed that the first time. If she was in a box of some sort to clean the soft tissue from the body, then the port would have ended up there. Dump the content of the box and it goes along for the ride. Or even purposefully getting the port and adding it to the new site because it SHOULD be with her, after all.

Sorry, just thinking of the logistics of cleaning the bones while maintaining the integrity of the clothing, without having to redress a skeleton. I'm not coming up with much.

Not for the squeamish
Agree with you on this possibility. I’m sure the Hunter (BM) had a lot of practice with this type of preparation.

MOO

I rented several large units at two different storage facilities in the past year to store my furnishings and personal property as my house was being remodeled so needed to be emptied for 8 months. At one facility, I rented through a kiosk, signing a contract electronically there and providing an email address, a cellphone number, and a credit card for monthly automatic payments until such time as I canceled the contract (with notice). At the other, I signed up online - also signing a contract electronically and providing an email address, cellphone number, and a credit card for monthly automatic payments until such time as I canceled the contract (with notice). I do not recall providing any kind of verification of identity at either place.
 
And wasn't one of his lawyers saying they needed to check out the farmers and hunters in the area to see who used that type of tranquilizer ??
Geeeze.

Wonder if he has the same atty's ?
Iris Leytan and ..... ?
Forgot the other one.
Omo.
Dru Nielsen - since has left the Eytan partnership.
But I believe you can thank Dru for the allegation that Suzanne had pulled a "gone girl" and was in Ecuador.
 
The bleach smell was chlorine from the pool on the main floor. The hotel manager sent a letter to LE explaining that that bank of rooms above the pool had regular complaints about the smell.
I don't think that is true. Because of Covid all pools were shut down. If that changed I'd have to see a link.
