What the what? He had game cameras up there for years? Never heard of that before. You may have something here.
Oh, I get the why but why then, if he was so adept at surveillance would he leave his home so vulnerable. Not to mention, if a TURKEY or MOUNTAIN LION or DEER or BEAR or CHIPMUNK were to enter his own property, wouldn't he want to know about it? Wouldn't that be monetary lapse of judgement?
IMO, he was more worried about people who might be on his property than anything else.
On second thought, and I hope I'm wrong, I'm thinking that @sk716 might be talking about the the cameras Barry put up when his brother-in-law was searching for his wife. You know, the search for which he not only had no part of (WTF) but actually had his 'friends' and himself armed and dangerous around his property.
It is plausible, if not likely. He had to deal with the alarm and suspicion that is created when her phone went dark...which it obviously did. How to smooth that out? LE knows how many contacts to Suzanne's phone happened after 2:30 pm on Saturday...then throughout the next day. There is simply no way for Barry to explain her dark phone while he was there with her; and while his was on airplane mode.
Those volunteer searches done by Barry's friends interest me. I have little doubt that they were loyal friends, full of comraderie. But...those guys aren't Barry. There must have been a lightbulb moment for each of them. I would think that they are basically law abiding, family types. What did they really tell LE?
I think the absence of evidence is evidence in this case. Things that should exist, and don't are not accidental. Suzanne's phone going dark as soon as Barry arrived home, and continuing throughout the evening and night, while he is "with her" should not exist. Barry will not take the stand. But, how much questioning about this dark period did LE get Barry to talk about? How many calls were made to Suzanne, and went unanswered? Was Barry's phone active during times it wasn't on airplane mode? Then, why his phone but not hers? Why did Barry sit in the hotel room for 4 and a half hours after moving the work project up a full 24 hours to "get it ready" after working 11 minutes? Again, he's in the room with no activity when there should be activity to support the expedited work project. The prosecution willl need to school the jury that the absence of evidence is evidence, when things should exist and don't.
Is this the peak where Barry was laying on the ground? That is certainly an event demanding evaluation.
If I recall the public searchers were instructed not to trespass on Barry's land but they were up in the hills all around and were encroaching although I'm not certain anyone actually crossed the property lines. And I do recall there was some reports that he had trail cams along his property lines and there was a baricade on the driveway with a No Trespassing sign. Then at some point in the afternoon Barry agreed to let Andy and a few others search his actual property and Andy called all the public search groups back and told them they were free to go, that the search was done. There have been LE initiated searches of the actual acreage that belonged to the Puma Path home as well as LE initiated searches of the waterways, I personally also don't think she is on that property.
