Exactly. That’s not “due diligence,” that’s investigating a prime suspect.

If we accept that BLM was the prime suspect at the time of the search, does the fact that the search was conducted indicate that BLM's status as a "prime suspect" is due to something more than his relationship to the missing person? IMO BLM is/was the prime suspect for that reason alone.

IMO the search could have been triggered by a tip from the public that may have been as simple as "missing person's husband was digging here two days before she was known to be missing." It wouldn't have to say that a body was seen or he was digging at night or he wasn't supposed to be digging at all or anything else nefarious. LE would have to search based on just that bare tip. Keeping in mind BLM's job, such tip could have also been worded "missing person's husband was doing his job" that day. LE couldn't dismiss it. IMO Even if the tip came from, say, a disgruntled Hoosier former colleague who had recently been interviewed complaining about BLM. IMO There is no evidence of such, I'm just making a point. Or trying to.

In summary, seems like it could be due diligence. IMO

Sure. But I promise you, the CBI and FBI doesn’t behave this way on a whim.
 
Let's assume for one second that LE did not find the bike. Even this LE group that can hardly be bothered to communicate with the lowly public about this investigation would surely ask for help to locate it, no? If they don't have the bike or the woman, and the story is that the two left together, wouldn't they be remiss not to look for both, either together or separate, even if they don't necessarily believe the story?

Maybe the request would go something like this: If you have any video footage from May 8 to 12 or found a random bike in the vicinity without an owner present, please hold those items in case we ask for them later. IMO

If quoting my post, let me be clear: I think most believe that the bike was located by LE on the same day SM was reported missing. Probably within hours given the hour of the report.

Just the same, I think most adhering to WS TOS agree that LE is yet to make a statement confirming they located the bike, the condition, or what's become of the bike! BBM

No need to look for the bike. It's not missing.

ETA: I truly don't get the question here on what LE has confirmed and reported by MSM versus not confirmed. :eek:

... who suggested this trip and who paid for it ?
Something I think LE have already looked into.
All the evidence seems to lead back to the beginning; imo.

I think the girls were expected home that day, maybe earlier than nighttime. Maybe BM was counting on them calling SM that day and setting things in motion when she didn’t respond. IMO, it would be especially cruel for a dad to set up his kids to “discover” their mom is missing. This was, they are removed and the neighbor handles the discovery.

MOO

For me it only matters if BM planned or encouraged the trip as that may indicate some serious premeditation. OTOH if someone else planned the trip, it became an “opportunity” to go ahead. Regardless, both scenarios smell of premeditation to me.

Hmm. If the girls weren't expecting to make it home early for Mother's Day, and BM was spinning that they were, it would have seemed awfully odd to LE. Moo

Perhaps the camp let out on Saturday and the expectation was that the daughters had the overnight to make the trip back to Colorado but they dallied or were otherwise delayed?

I have read the guidance -- so, we can't discuss the camping trip at all (about how convenient for BM it was, who arranged it, etc.) because the daughters went on it? If that's true, of course I will shut up, but I'd like to know. Thanks!

ITA - it seems that divorce and division of assets may be a trigger in some cases - we don't know anything about this couple though (just what few comments have been made in MSM by some relatives) - I just keep returning the the investigations we've been through by CO - and truly believe they will get to the bottom of what happened to this Mom, every ping, text, computer search, forensic data both electronic and physical - and if they find nothing - we will know that too IMO.

The owner of the property that was excavated.

So to really split hairs (I guess I am trying to get into Dave F’s head), I think LE said something along the lines of the excavation site owner was not involved in SM’s disappearance. Which means that they were not officially cleared of anything that could have happened after SM disappeared.
 
I don't know what they have been doing?! IMO Barry is innocent so hope they start looking at someone else. All their concentration on Barry and they turn up nothing. :confused:
They aren't showing their hand. LE is doing just what they are supposed to be doing.
 
Ita.
I think it's important to remember that LE in many cases do consider many possibilities, but in Suzanne's case they seem to keep coming back to the spouse and not clearing him.
As in, the search and removal of items from the Morphew house and the destruction of the concrete foundation of the homeowner who btw has been cleared.
Etc.
Imo.
IMO the searches were done earlier, and to my knowledge, have not been repeated. I’ve not seen any evidence, that the investigation keeps coming back to BM.
IANAL, but IMO these were standard procedural events, based on statistics.
The concrete slab excavation, was an anomaly, possibly based on tip, which could have been an honest mistake by the tipster, or even a deliberate one by someone; an attempt to frame BM.

IMO the statement made about clearing the property owner is not the statement that BM was referring to in the TD interview. It would be unlikely for them to have cleared him before all the electronics came back. They could have informed him personally, once they had all the results.

IMO, there would not have been a need for recanvassing citizens, if they had overwhelming evidence against BM.

I’m not sure we would see evidence of BM and his team searching, because it is much more of the same information gathering, that some of us have been doing.

Past addresses, credit card info, and so on is extremely hard to find, when someone is off the grid. I certainly hope they have some experts tracking this. I am a novice and I am having little but some success.

One of the cases I followed in the past involved the Lyon sisters’ kidnapping and murders, eventually found to be committed by a drifter. The FBI timeline for the 45 yrs of this drifter’s life after that event were extremely vague, w/ lots of gaps.
We think our electronics have made it easier to catch these guys. They HAVE made it harder to avoid the grid. There are still people who pay in cash, and don’t maintain cell phone service, using the pre paid phones, etc.

Harder, not impossible. I believe the investigators have been looking for this Bad Guy, while we have been only focused on BM.
It serves no purpose to update us on these searches, and the public doesn’t need to have statements warning them, there have been enough incidents before SM disappeared, to alert the public.
It IS time consuming to search, that’s why I’m not posting as much.
It’s disheartening to check back here, and realize we are still pounding the same puzzle pieces into the puzzle.
IMO, they seem to fit, based on the norms, but this isn’t a normal puzzle.
People do not always know they have a stalker, this event did involve a degree of spying, surveilling, and planning.
We actually do have 2 people missing from Salida. Coincidence? I think not.
 
We KNOW they dug up a foundation on one of his jobs. That’s certainly something! JMO
Good point!
And we know LE banned firefighters from searching...
And we know firefighters were not happy about that. Saying "well they can't keep us out of the Forrest."
That too is certainly something.

That’s a good point. But I think Dave was saying that being cleared implies they were under suspicion, which the homeowner never was. And that’s true.

But I think it’s pretty clear that the homeowner is not involved in anything related to what happened to Suzanne.
