And through some form of telepathy, Barry knew that Suzanne’s murderer was going to stage a bike ride. Barry leaned way in on the bike ride theory immediately, whether it was a mountain lion or Mr X. In the morning, when she never rode, near her home, where she never rode.I'm not going to use hundreds and hundreds of words, but I'll add a few more to what you just pointed out. Should #TeamBarry choose to go the alternate suspect route, here's what they have to prove about our mystery man, Person X, to make it even remotely plausible:
X knew Barry had BAM.
X knew where Barry kept his BAM.
X had access to Barry's BAM.
X knew Barry was going to Broomfield Sunday despite Barry having only made the decision at the last minute to go to Broomfield that day.
X knew MM was away that weekend.
X knew exactly what time MM was expected back home that day.
X staged the bike ride and planted the bike and helmet in broad daylight after killing her to make it look like a random abduction when it would have been much lower risk to murder and leave her at the house.
X took the risk of shooting Suzanne with BAM first vs. killing her in another way, despite the fact that there was no way of knowing if/how long the BAM would need to take affect and whether in fact it would be lethal.
X disposed of her somewhere and then returned to the site later on, retrieved her remains and then dumped them in Saguache County.
Occam says Person X is not some mysterious alternate suspect.
Occam says Person X is Barry.
