Has the probable cause affidavit been released yet?

 

[Tealgrove]

Whoo hoo!!!!

 

[DizzyB]

Where does Chris live, that he got to Salida so fast? Was an arrest brewing and in the works for a few days? I hope that Lauren is able to comment more on what happened before Andy’s search. I hope that Andy feels some sense of relief today. He did right by his little sister.

I’ve been out of our community dealing with a stalker. I’m SO SO SO HAPPY to hear this news!!!!!

Where is this in relation to the PP home??

Eagle County would be 2.5 hours or so... from the Salida area, if related.

"Attempt to influence a public servant" = attempting to bribe or threaten a prosecutor, LE, or politician

2016 Colorado Revised Statutes

Article 8 - Offenses - Governmental Operations
Part 3 - Bribery and Corrupt Influences
§ 18-8-306. Attempt to influence a public servant
Universal Citation: CO Rev Stat § 18-8-306 (2016)
Any person who attempts to influence any public servant by means of deceit or by threat of violence or economic reprisal against any person or property, with the intent thereby to alter or affect the public servant's decision, vote, opinion, or action concerning any matter which is to be considered or performed by him or the agency or body of which he is a member, commits a class 4 felony.

Wouldn't it be incredible if this was a positive ID? Timing could fit!

Human Remains Found In Eagle River On Western Slope

WOW! Timing is right. OMG. Pray they find her if they haven’t yet! She deserves a burial. Praying!

 

[Nerissa]

OH HELL YEAH!!!!

Get thee arse to jail, Barry!!!!

How DARE you take the life of your beautiful, kind wife - how DARE you!!

I was thinking just last night: did Barry get away with the 'perfect' murder? I thought: hell no, he can't

& I was thinking about his sorry arse RIGHT when he was getting that sorry arse arrested.

I happened to be there, where I'd never been in my life, that weekend he murdered his wife in Chaffee County CO - & I, too, have been (& at that time) dealing with an abusive partner: this is personal for me....

MOO

 

[Trackergd]

Awesome News!!! Hopefully she can come home and be put to rest in a respectful manner.

I feel really bad for the girls. To lose mom and for dad to be charged. I pray they have a good support network.

Looking forward to the analysis of the evidence to see where we were correct and where we were off base. It's how we learn for the next case.

 

[pseudo_hum]

Yes, Barry will not do well in prison....too much of an ego and control freak.

IMO, a possible future prison push-up champion?

 

[Lyanna]

Well so much for the mountain lion theory. Darn. Thought we were on to something there

Lol

Press conference 3pm

So that is 5 pm eastern, right?

 

[OhioStateD]

I would be more worried of him fleeing. IMO he has too big of an ego to take his own life. IMO he will plead innocent until the bitter end.

I thought Fotis Dulos was too big of a narcissist ego fueled maniac too but he killed himself.

Too funny. Remember all the serious talk about the life cycles and foraging habits of cougars. That's one thing I never believed.

Oh wow! Thanks for the visual! @swedeheart
