That was the same interview I was referring to, lol. I mean it makes sense she'd be using machinery for landscaping but she never does actually say she was using the bobcat. She never mentions it at all in this interview. I'm sure it not even important in the long run, it's just bugging me, especially now since we know BM was getting work done on it the very afternoon he told MG work was being cut short for him to go spend time with Suzanne.

I’m with you on that. I think the bobcat was at that worksite whether it was being used or not, and then he took it to the DSI shop, after quitting work early, to change attachments when he said he was going home to make SM happy.

That’s definitely the most suspicious aspect of the whole thing.

At some point their investigation took on steam, MOO finding evidence spurred them on.

They could have found a lot of Suzanne’s DNA at the beach site on the rocks, in the dirt under the concrete. I think they did. Andy was there at the site with cadaver dogs. They said the dogs didn't get a hit, but it looked to me like they were onto something.

Bobcat is probably totally covered with
Suzanne’s DNA.

New address, and now it's a Historical Landmark?

Can any one please share a link to the ruling to keep the AA sealed?
I am looking but can't find.

It does seem that the bobcat figures into the disappearance. Would be interested to know if the authorities screened that bobcat for DNA evidence....was it impounded at any time and out of Barry's control?

What the what?
19075 > 19045
Puma Path > Monarch River Drive
Historical Landmark?
What?

Yep, pretty much what I said too.

Also, for anyone, why was BM getting his bobcat bucket worked on at DSI, according to JP?
Since they're not a heavy machinery repair shop, I mean.
They're a commercial building company. Diesslin Structures, Inc. - Building More Than a Reputation

I have to wonder, was it just a favor from a friend who works in the shop there?
Because why not take it to an actual heavy machinery repair shop?

Now that I’m thinking through this, I wonder:

Did BM work Friday night because he was planning to call it a day early on Saturday but still wanted the job to be on schedule?

I was always curious if the Friday night beach site activity could be related to the murder but maybe it was just so BM would have more free time on Saturday to execute his plan. We’ve started to learn a lot about how BM spent his time on Saturday and most of it points towards premeditation.

He worked there Friday night according to MG. Was he also there Saturday night at 11:30 when the neighbor MB heard machinery running for a half hour? I think so.

My guess is it was something fairly simple and he just needed to use some garage workspace or a tool or two of their's and since he'd subbed for them before he was comfortable stopping there and they probably didn't mind. I doubt it was a major repair especially since he forgot about it and the implication was that it was something relatively quick that he was capable of doing himself. I personally don't think whatever it was is a big deal except it does pinpoint another spot on the Saturday timeline.

I had a look to see how this could happen. It appears that there is a Maps editor program that people can use to add their town/locality historic landmark (or monument) to Google maps.

Also, other articles say that Google picks up trending data and adds it to various places in their program suite. It goes by X amount of hits on that data over a sustained period of time.

Thanks. I did not remember her saying he was working there Friday.

I am not sure changing attachments = doing a mechanical thingy and it doesn’t feel like he would have to go to DSI to change an attachment. He probably can do that at a jobsite.

MOO calling the daughters victims is legal as it brings certain legal benefits and protections.

Whe. I heard them being referrwd to as "victims" I thought maybe they were victims of fraud, or being tricked into committing fraud by BM.
But fraud it is not on the list of charges, so is the judge bending the legal definition? of
Using the word "victims" to qualify them to enjoy the legal rights of
a "victim of a crime." ?
To colloquially call the daughters "victims" because they are deprived of a mother by a murderous father doesn't mean the same thing at all as "victim of a crime."
They're being called victims because, assuming Suzanne was murdered, they meet the legal definition of victims of a crime as specified in CRS § 24-4.1-302(5) since they are the children of a murder victim. And the court is citing their right 'to be treated with fairness, respect, and dignity, and to be free from intimidation, harassment, or abuse, throughout the criminal justice process" (CRS § 24-4.1-302.5(1)(a)) as a reason for keeping the AA sealed.

In the document the judge sights the relevant description of "victim" in the state of Colorado. I suspect legally both girls and possibly Barry, since he is accused but not tried and still considered innocent in the legal sense, fall under the definition but don't quote me on that as I haven't read the entire Colorado document. Victim rights are state governed so it may vary from state to state.
Interesting take on the description of victim. If I follow the above logic that BM and the girls are “victims” (rather than family members of Suzanne -who in my mind was the victim of the crime ) then I suppose you can add SM’s brothers and sister on to the “victims” list? I will have to read the doc as that definition of victim in the legal sense feels off to me - I am not a Colorado lawyer so just IMO

I agree that it must not have been a major job as BM apparently just showed up to the shop on a Saturday afternoon. However, I disagree that it's not big deal IF this is the bit he "forgot" to tell LE. It’s unlikely he couldn't remember his activities just the day before. So ...why leave that part out?

I believe that non-nuclear family members do not fall under the legal definition. Clearly in any situation there are “many victims” but the judge is utilizing the legal definition as it exists in Colorado.
