I also think that it is a family holiday where people are busy with their own families. I think that he also thought that would be a good time to act. He wasn't banking on Covid and the collapse of his alibi amongst other things.

For all we know, Barry may have arranged for someone to sign him in at the FF training course. However, when it was totally canceled due to Covid, that blew that plan. He had to scramble for another alibi. So, he then was forced to throw together the urgent repair of the wall...without the permit being pulled among other things...

If Barr was ALREADY using ff training as an general alibi for MDW, HE may have been surprised to learn right then that ff training was cancelled! Busted if he arrived near the bike explaining he'd been in Denver for training if ffs were on scene saying, 'whoa bro, that got canceled.'

The bolded will be very interesting to hear.
No doubt Barry might be mentally kicking himself for speaking to Lauren at all.
Imo.

One can only hope.
And second guessing himself for every word he exchanged with Tyson Draper, who got it all on video.
Yes indeed, one can certainly hope.

I actually thought that he initially had told people that he was in Denver for FF training. If he hadn't, why did we the public even know about it? It's always been confusing to me.

Could it be that the FF course was going to be his alibi for that weekend and then someone told him at the last minute that the training was canceled? An innocent person would have known and would have spent the day with his wife; however, Barry needed an alibi to be out of town that weekend. Hence, he had to scramble for his second alibi.

It's going to prove to be a major flaw because he didn't have a permit to repair the wall. He went a day early. He rented the hotel room (a few hours away). It smelled like chlorine. He leaves wet towels all over the place. He didn't even leave the tools to get the wall properly repaired.

So, anyone with any common sense is going to see through this "alibi" as his excuse to distance himself from the crime scene.

I agree. I think the defense will object to releasing the AA.

Happy Mother’s Day to all. Sad today for the loss of the mothers we’ve followed here.. Suzanne, Kelsey Berreth, Crystal McDowell, too many others. And a shout out to the mothers who have had the courage to get away ... and said “Boy, bye”.... before it was too late.

Same. Was there ever FF training that he was scheduled to go to? Cancelled due to Covid? Did Barry try to buy off someone to say he was at training as an alibi?
 
I am watching CM Live video and he showed us a picture of BM & SM trailer when they were moving to CO.

Um, wow. That trailer looks like items were just tossed on, landed wherever, and sorta strapped down. Doesn’t look like everything would make it safely from Indiana to Colorado.

Makes me sad to see it, especially today.

“this is no Tetris!” That was a hilarious comment. On the other side, if BM was so obsessed with the antlers, maybe whatever chemical he used to clean them off tissue should be looked into? (Sorry, I hope I make myself clear as I am not a hunter. I assume when deers shed the antlers, there is some tissue from their heads attached to them, and before the antlers are sold, they have to be cleansed off it? I am interested in what is used in the process as BM apparently was into the business).

A calendar shoot is where I go back to every time firefighter training is mentioned, way early in the threads
My beefcake comment got some salt

The article (link in a previous post) that I posted lists someone who has been mentioned as being close to him in the past.

I wonder if this person was supposed to say that he was at the training or sign his name as being there before the entire training event got canceled. If so, this could be another possibility for the charge of "attempting to influence a public servant."

On the "It's a Crime" Y/T segment the other night, CM mentions that the trailer looked like Jed Clampett's trailer when he moved to Beverly Hills. He wasn't kidding! He also mentioned how embarrassed Suzanne was. You mean to tell me that they couldn't hire a moving company or at least rent a truck and pack it themselves to move across the country??

Ita.
It's as if the entire weekend was a perfect storm of "Blunders by Barry".
If anyone writes a true crime novel about this tragic murder, they could title it that ?
Tongue in cheek here.
I've been a fan of authors like P.D. James to Anne Rule, and beyond.

Seriously : Although the focus should be on Suzanne and her life !
Imo.
 
@Seattle1 On the issue of whether or not we will see the AA Thursday or Friday dependent on whether the defense agrees to unseal it, what kind of time frame would we be looking at? Later this week, month or further down the road?
Also interested in your thoughts regarding whether defense will want the AA to remain sealed and what reasons would likely win them extra time? TIA!
<modsnip>

ETA sorry for the double post quote again! I will blame the Champagne! Happy Mother’s Day!

My first thought was the trailer looks like it was packed in a heck of a hurry.... It is a disaster waiting to happen on the highway.
Are there no U-Hauls in Indiana?
