I don't think so. I believe Tailwinds is the condo development in Poncha Springs where BM last resided. MOO
Hmmmm. What was he doing there that day?

  • "I’m done. I could care less about what you’ve been up to for years. We need to figure this out civilly," Suzanne wrote in a text message to Barry on May 6, 2020, days before vanishing.
  • "I promise you, you are wrong about all the crazy thoughts about me," Barry responded to his wife. "Why would I want another, only a fool would stray from an angel like you."
  • Harris said on the same day that Suzanne and Barry clashed over cheating allegations, May 6, Barry also sent his wife messages about suicide. "Going to see my savior. This life on earth is a mear grain of sand compared to eternity," Barry texted Suzanne on May 6, FOX21 News reports.
May 6th was also the day Bridget Bulker ran into Barry & Suzanne out for an evening stroll. She was the cleaning person who was putting trash in the dumpster, they stopped to question who she was.

How do you go from that kind of a text exchange, to an evening stroll? I guess that's why Suzanne said she just needs "peace".

Besides the text Suzanne sent Melinda on Friday. Do we have anything else for Thursday & Friday, May 7th & 8th?
Iirc:
For May 6 or 7, BM tried to call so Suzanne's father but did not talk to him (was he going to boohoo on Gene's shoulder because Suzanne wanted a divorce?)
On May 7 or 8, BM was shopping/looking for a new truck.
Not exactly pertaining to the murder, but interesting. Sorry I don't have a link.

I think she was still alive so my guess is she thought she was safe with who she communicated with during these late hours?
MOO since the defense has the discovery and if there was a phone call from Suzanne's phone to someone that TALKED to her at 2:53am 5/10 wouldn't they bring that up immediately.

Thank you for all your work in compiling this timeline @OldCop and @oviedo!

MOO - I am now realizing that BM had the bobcat and trailer with him on 5/9 when he is getting the bobcat blade replaced at 2pm in town (Salida I presume). I hadn’t paid attention to that detail.

So then when he arrives back home at 2:44pm, the bobcat and trailer must be attached to the truck as far as we know, because it hasn’t been mentioned he left it behind.

Therefore, the truck not moving and then going into reverse at 9:25pm and backing up 95 feet in the driveway, tells me BM was likely backing up the truck to park the trailer at the end of driveway and detached it from the truck. He then likely drove the bobcat off the trailer to park it next to the trailer.

I’m guessing this is what might have happened because I remember seeing a news chopper video of the home where you see the police tape around the home and the trailer and bobcat were parked at the end of the driveway next to each other. Assuming they were not moved there by LE after seizing the property, I’m led to believe the activity on 5/9 regarding BM’s truck going into reverse was him parking the trailer and bobcat.

What do you all think?

MOO

This is the day BM should have been most angry. Was he taking her out walking on the premise of talking about SM being “done” when, in fact, he intended for an accident to happen?
Did being seen by Bridget cause him to abort his plan?

Yep. Which makes me wonder why he didn't park the Bobcat and trailer right when he got home. Maybe wanted to block the garage so she couldn't escape?

Why would he detach the trailer and and detrailer the bobcat which was needed for the Broomfield job?

That's why I think he had the riparian place to put her. And that all that other stuff was just theatric. Red Herring. JMHO

These two times were listed as early am 5/9, not 5/10. So if that's correct, SM was still alive. Still odd IMO to have a 3am phone call -- but if (speculation) she'd been texting with someone (like maybe JL) and so knew they were up... maybe they snuck in a quick call while their spouses were sleeping?

All MOO

That’s a question for the books! IIRC, he didn’t have the trailer and bobcat with him when he went to Broomfield the next morning. The journalists who saw the surveillance footage during the PH will be able to confirm this.

So he parks them on 5/9, heads into Broomfield on 5/10 and spends the day there until he got home in the evening. By then, he wasn’t given access to the property I believe, so his beloved trailer and bobcat
remained where he left them the previous night.

Maybe, he knew he would be leaving Broomfield when Suzanne was discovered missing by his girls. He couldn't bear to leave his precious bobcat there without him. Moo

High was 71 5/10/20 in Salida, probably a few degrees cooler at their house.
Thanks. Maybe what I'm remembering is what the temp was that night when they were searching for her and it was very cold. Didn't know the daytime and overnight temps would vary THAT much but being in the mountains makes sense now.
 
  • #215
Logging into Facebook?
On SM Facebook it says she checked in to Alexandria Indiana on 5/17/2020 which is weird since she was missing. BM must’ve had her password
Is it possible that one of the dau's (w SM's password) accessed SM's acct then?
 
  • #216
lol! I sure went on the wild turkey chase because it was such an odd excuse. Wouldn’t MM have needed a ~$50 Spring turkey license? So why let the $50 dinner scurry away? And how far could it have even gone? And how many weeks prior did this occur? Just so odd.
His motto is: never let a lame hyperbole go to waste.

Screen shots have different data.
I know I'm not making myself clear. The photo was an actual photo (hard copy), not a screen shot. I took a photo of the photo with my cell and sent it. As you can tell, I'm completely naive to such things and that's why I'm asking. :)

That's exactly what I thought. They said the bobcat would've been needed for the job they had no permit to do.

True, huge variance it was 33 that night.

There may be a way to so that but I dont know. I think hard copies of pictures are usually made by bringing the file on a thumb drive or emailing to the copy maker at Costco or other.
