Following comments on here, I am reminded that in the AA it alluded to BM being shown a map of SMs final cell tower pings and apparently he couldn't explain why they were away from the house.
As discussed on here, the final direction and distance place the phone apparently towards Garfield.
One thing I am conscious of here is that Grusing is not the CAST expert but socked puppeted in the report for Prelim purposes.
So this actually might be significant - they just did not get down in the weeds. Nor in the AA. The main point is SM's phone was active, and perhaps moving, after 4am before disappearing forever, at a time BM was definitely active. Yet BM said he had not left the house yet.
Grusing was not the correct witness to get deeply into this, beyond what was said.
I do feel this is why BM said it was 'ironic' that he got caught out on the left turn - because he got clean away with staging the body south
Did Barry put Suzanne's phone in airplane mode? Or not?
He wanted the phone found, right?
He must have pitched it.... did he turn it off, purposefully destroy it or destroy in the process of punting it? Because there were no more pings....
So maybe that's the irony -- he planned everything so carefully, his phone, vehicles, the burial, etc, etc, and then to be told on by Suzanne's phone, the very phone that connected her to JL and in many ways bolstered her person resolve to take back her life.
He couldn't get into her phone. He couldn't think of a way to stage her phone credibly.
Wasn't able to send some texts on Saturday, as if from her.
I wonder why they never found it... too vast an area I suppose....
Kind of sad to think it's out there somewhere... dead. Unable to speak for Suzanne...
But in some ways it still is.
That ping. Those lost miles.
I've been asking for a 100 threads what was soooooooo important to Barry that he went left? The helmet alone doesn't explain it.
Her phone.
It was her phone all along. He needed it to lead away from PP, away from Broomfield, away from where he barried her, so critical to his plan he had to accept the risk of his being traced that way (solved, he thought, with airplane mode) and that her phone would have arrived at that location four hours before the imaginary bike ride.
Maybe he hoped they'd get a ping, not a timestamp.
A detail he couldn't conceal. No digital activity from 2+pm onward, no flurry of typical activity on Mother's Day, none for those important first hours of an especially important day... did he walk her phone with him when he dumped her bike? Then traced the path of her imaginary abduction, hoping LE would have no way of determining the glaring timeframe on that?
The only bull elk that morning was Barry himself. Less majestic and decent than a real elk but full on with the bully bull part. Methinks Barry talks so much in order to always get the last word. Domination.
IE has muzzled him this time but regardless (and I regard him very little) Suzanne is fast getting the final word.
Loud and clear.
Her phone. Rookie mistake.
But he should be right at home with.
Not the first time he rookied out --
