I'd caution relying on "fastpeoplesearch" for accurate info -- especially given the same identifies BM's current address as the Cicero, IN family residence that was sold in 2017 when they moved to Colorado.

In other words, the general internet disclaimer or "grains of salt"... JMO

 

[Ontario Mom]

Yes, and it's right by the biker bars he's been seen at multiple times. (I'm local)

Barry at a biker bar in the desert was not on my 2024 bingo card, but... here we are.

Barry lives in a trailer in AZ and frequents a biker bar? Is this the future he wanted while killing Suzanne??

 

[Megnut]

He wasn't willing to divorce Suzanne and share assets equitably. But blow it all on his defense, he doubled down. Easy come, easy go.

Priorities, I guess.

He didn’t think far ahead. He didn’t think period. I’m sure he never planned on needing a lawyer. After all, it was so obvious a mountain took her.

He is a bit "hard of thinking".

Just for a little bit about the area for those who may be interested...

In many ways, Cave Creek (and Carefree, which it kind of blurs boundary lines with in many ways) is quite a sleepy little place.

We have a lot of great hiking (several regional parks - more than one that's featured in other missing person cases on here, actually) but other than that it's local restaurants and a few local dining chains (other than the DQ and Circle K, everything else is local) and the biker bars and that's basically all there is to the heart of that part of town where BM's address is.

Especially from about October-late April, people flock to the the biker bars from surrounding areas, particularly on weekends.

When WestWorld (Scottsdale) has their big bike week thing each spring (it's one of the largest biker rallies held in the US after Sturgis and Daytona apparently) Cave Creek is truly inundated because it's renowned for the biker bars.

A pic from Cave Creek bike week this past year.

See more here (CC Bike Week is hosted by The Hideaway & The Roadhouse - two of the main biker bars).

The Hideaway, Roadhouse, Harold's Corral, Horny Toad, etc. are definitely where people who come to Cave Creek tend to head.

All of them are walking distance from BM's address. I mean, just about everything in the heart of CC is walking distance really, but...I have exactly zero surprise with him having some ties to the address over there that he's frequenting them.

To me, that scene has zero appeal, but for someone like BM, with the friend(s) he has here who are very much part of those circles, honestly, it's the perfect place to be.

He can be in a massive crowd of people who hop back and forth between the various establishments, and back and forth across Cave Creek Rd, and he can pretty much be anonymous. It's loud, it's pretty dark, there's a sea of people from sundown on, and we're far enough away from Suzanne's death and CO distance/time wise that unfortunately far too few people would ever really be any the wiser that he's the no good he is.

I appreciate your local insight, thanks for sharing.

So how do you think Bury found this remote location and why was it a desirable to him?? It sounds like it is well off the beaten trail. I tend to associate him in a high end Ford 350 and a million dollar home.

From some research about the address, it seems he is living well below his normal millionaire standard of living.

Hmmmm.....

Thanks for sharing as a local of the area. Even before BM disappeared SM, we've long known AZ was on his radar.

Also, I've long believed BM is a 'have Bobcat, will travel' kind of guy (and an above average operator), do you know if there are any projects around the area where BM could be keeping busy -- further assimilating into the community? Thanks again for joining this case.

The part of the heart of Cave Creek/Carefree that BM is tied to is at the north end of Scottsdale Rd (which, many miles south, runs into the heart of the especially $$$ part of Scottsdale itself)

Much of the area up here is quite $$, so it's an interesting place that he's landed himself in this little trailer park in what's by and large an otherwise much more spendy area.

People, celebrities included, do definitely come up here to get away. I could name a bunch, but the one I recall most recently is country singer Miranda Lambert who was even over at Harold's Corral (she's apparently here quite often)

My guess is he had been here previously and knew it was somewhere it'd be pretty easy to be anonymous and people weren't likely to ask a lot of question.

Use another name and live a life that doesn't look like your old one (random trailer park vs the CO house) and people who might think he looks vaguely familiar probably are inclined to talk themselves out of it for the most part.

We also have a lot of snow birds and so people come and go for months at a time.

That gives him a real opportunity to up and leave if/when people started questioning/snooping around/seeming suspicious and he could just use the 'going back to my other house in ____' (whatever story) and it's a perfectly legit thing here that no one would think twice about. Then you come back when things die down or those people have moved on because they're just here for bike week or they are actual snowbirds themselves.

Oh gosh, he could absolutely be working here. Heck, he could have more work than he knows what to do with here!

There is SO much building/growth happening in Arizona in general, but especially not far from here. Not to say that there isn't here in CC itself, but just for one small (ha) glimpse...there's the massive like $25 billion dollar TSMC semi-conductor plant just down Carefree Hwy about 12 miles away.

There are thousands of people who have come to town to work on that - or in many of the building sites in the area around it (the amount of housing going up to house all the people who will be working at this massive plant, just for one) and there are RVs and tents (yes, even in our 110+ weather) all along the State Trust Land along Carefree Hwy of people who have temporarily moved here for a few years to take jobs here.

And there is tons of growth even here in the area surrounding the toswn of Cave Creek/Carefree where he could use his actual skills and be picking up work.

There are some funny little "city islands" where people don't necessarily have to deal with all the permits that those of us who fall under town land proper do, and our community Facebook group is full of people both looking for people to do work and people offering to do work of all sorts and many doing it more under the table. I'd not be surprised at all if he has found a way to work with someone on the side where he may not be having to use his legal name.

And given at least one of the people I know he's been seen with a fair bit, I suspect he's got the advantage of someone well known in town "vouching" for him (which would be helpful if BM's trying to largely live without his true ID being known).

Thank you @TravelingBug for confirming what I suspected. BM came to Colorado and set up as "Sunset Farms, LLC" and not many knew his birth name name initially.

Also, if BM is engaged in site prep work, he'd be one of the first to mobilize and can easily be finished for a while before others are scheduled with little to no overlap. A good site prep dude who likes to work can easily become a "dirt moving millionaire" as their work is generally responsible for getting some of the earliest permits signed off by local inspectors before a project can truly get underway -- work typically tied to environmental or EPA requirements.

In an industry where time is money, the project owner isn't necessarily concerned with what you do off site unless it impacts his CPM schedule. History tells us BM doesn't play well with others, and he perfected his own craft so he can do his job with little to no interference or contact with others. MOO

In AZ, I think it would be difficult to find a grill that doesn't have ice cold beer on tap. Food is probably good too.

While it’s hard to know what a desperate person/killer will do when they feel the proverbial walls closing in or the pitter patter of LE footsteps not too far behind, I personally do not think BM will do either of those things for a couple of reasons:

1.) He won’t leave his daughters.
2.) BM is all about image and he knows how it will look if he were to off himself or go on the run.

At any rate, IF he is preparing to/decides to run, he’ll be caught in no time as imo there are likely eyes on him and he knows that. I could be wrong of course but I just can’t see it mostly for reasons stated above.

I view the recent development with the quitclaim/transfer of the IN property to M1 as BM getting his affairs in order due to expecting arrest/charges in the not too distant future and wanting to get his name off assets, jmo.

Having said all that, the only way I can see him possibly choosing either option (off himself or run) is if he were to lose the support of both of his daughters. Since I don’t see that ever happening (especially from M1),
I really do think BM will stick around and die (no pun intended) on the hill of, ‘my daughters’ and/or daughter support me therefore I am innocent!!’, hoping that at least one juror will overlook all the evidence against him because one or both daughters’ stand beside/support him.

Of course imo most jurors are smarter than that and helllooooo the BAM found in SM’s bone marrow pretty much seals the deal/final nail in BM’s coffin but yes, I really do think BM is that stupid or delusional enough (take your pick, likely both) to think he still has a shot (no pun intended) at convincing one juror at future trial that he’s innocent because of his daughter(s) unwavering support. SMDH.

ETA-words, punctuation

BM of the time when SM "disappeared" is not BM of today. I feel that when Suzanne got sick, BM was feeling on a high horse. He was still young, healthy, while wife was ill, probably, exhausted from chemo, probably, very insecure of the future. He treated her horribly because he could afford to...well, and because he is a , of course.
However, when SM beat the cancer, was getting on the mend, started the relationship with the man BM had always been jealous of, and finally, had the strength to tell BM she was leaving - I think BM killed out of desperation. Part of it was money, but part was his horrible insecurity around SM. You have to trace everything BM did to realize that he is not stupid, but something is amiss upstairs, you know? So I think it may have been less of a planned murder as more his insecurity showing itself.

From that standpoint, maybe, BM is not inherently suicidal. I consider people who are serial killers, or engaged in lengthy plans to kill others, potentially suicidal, because control over anyone else's life and own one are, essentially, the same. BM, while probably scoring higher than average on suicide risk, may have not been that high.

But see what happened. He killed SM, who was the face of his family, his window into the big world, his community support, everything... And what did he get? Well, he got Sho-Sho who was the only one thinking that she resembled SM. And even Sho-Sho didn't last for long. His community? I suspect he lost it. His girls? I can't be too sure, but I feel that things are not easy for them. His business? Consider it gone. That trailer he lives in?

His only chance was that 15M lawsuit. Then he could at least buy some place under the sun that's a level above his current one. But that didn't materialize.

So he can't hide behind his fences, a beautiful wife, two beautiful girls, the community, his church, his business, his hobby. He is exceptionally vulnerable. And I think that it does put him into a risk group.

His girls he doesn't think of. He didn't bother much about their feelings when Suzanne disappeared, did he?

You are right about his image. But this image is so tarnished now! That is why his risk is high.

His daughters might be supporting him, but they are mostly good ornaments on his sides. I doubt they can deliver a convincing speech unless coached by his wonderful lawyer.

Barry lives in a trailer in AZ and frequents a biker bar? Is this the future he wanted while killing Suzanne??

Hope he only buys a diet Pepsi or something whilst frequenting those bars considering Suzanne shouldn't have been drinking according to the word of Barry.

Smdh at the hypocrisy of the guy.

Perhaps he is preparing himself for a future life in a cramped and enclosed space?
Pretty sure trailers don't have iron bars and 24hr guards but at least he's giving it a go
