He also seems way to calm and matter of fact with very little emotion, He may be medicated, beta blockers or similar.

Could be. Or possibly benzodiazepines so poor BM can cope with all this unjust suspicion. It is very difficult on his psyche that he did everything he could, including offering a huge reward that shows his never-ending love and commitment to his wife, making a very emotional video pleading for Suzanne's return, search the entire state of CO by hand and foot, hand make and hand out high quality personalized flyers etc., and LE has the nerve to not officially clear his good name. When it rains, it poors....

This is all sarcastic, of course...

MOO.

Justice for lovely Suzanna!!!

ITA with all of this. I have a bad habit of getting distracted while on a casual text thread and just wandering away from the conversation. It can be as long as a day or two before I check back in. I’ve also had my iphone battery die mid conversation. I can see a scenario where SM abandoned her texting because it was dinner time. Then decided it was too late to pick it back up afterwards. However, the friend considered it an abrupt halt to the conversation, so we’d have to know the more about how it all went down. MOO
I agree. That wasn't such a red flag to me. Sadly, I also get distracted and dont always end a text properly (with friends and loved ones especially). I guess it depends on what the friend was accustomed to in their texting patterns.
 
  • #645
Can we brainstorm as to why the Profiling Evil investigators have red flagged the cars five times?

I can think of several reasons or persons who may have had cars in that driveway: daughters, camping friends, Barry’s sister, Suzanne’s, Barry’s employee?

The neighbor would be able to identify Suzanne/daughters’s cars. I’m assuming if it were their cars, that info would not be so hush-hush. Of course you’d expect Suzanne and a daughter’s car to be in the driveway.

Why are these cars important?

As a busy household here with multiple cars, drivers, flopping for driveway spots, I’m always annoyed when someone has blocked my car in or even worse, blocked my car in, and left with their own car keys (with a buddy, or employee?)

Maybe Barry knew Suzanne wouldn’t need her car that day? Maybe this has more to do with a detail that Barry forgot to think through?

Or what if the cars are Suzanne/daughter cars, but the neighbor knows the ladies never parked outside the garage? What if Barry always has to park outside because the ladies always got the three garage spots? Then, their OWN cars being in their OWN driveway might be suspicious.

IMO

Exactly, Tate123. No matter how the conversation trailed off, it was unusual enough to alarm her friend, especially after she couldn't get in touch with Suzanne the next day.

REF: "Suzannes daughters and her friend who chatted with her from the night before are unable to reach her."

What time did the conversation with the daughters take place on Saturday night?

PE said it started mid afternoon and contiuned till. mid even I g when it was abruptly ended by SM

Now that I think about it...
We don't have confermation it was texting through cell phone or texting through facebook.

(Texting through fb goes through so much better than cell phones when service is spotty.)

As someone posted easier, the (...) will bounce up and down on fb texting. We know then, someone is typing.

If the dots stop and there is never another reply, this too will give the thought of "ending abruptly."

That said, if it is fb texting. ALL of that will be or is already, at the fingertips of LE.

Very good point! I have very poor reception where i live even thou have 5G capable phone. Wi-fi in house works ok most of the time, but sometimes, actually on a regular basis, texts won't go throu. That's when i have to switch over to WhatsApp. I am not technologically savy so not sure why one works and the other doesn't. On WhatsApp you also see when the other person is typing.

This conversation (abrupt end) could give time of death/incapacitation perhaps?

What I really want is, a 1 hour and 26 min transcript of PE.

If anyone hears of one please let me know or post a link.
If you use an Android phone then Google recorder app will transcribe the program.
Just start recorder then start the video.

i'm leaning towards the extra car belonging to someone very close to BM being parked there. an "unexpected" visitor, but not someone who would raise any alarm bells to a neighbor. do we know what day or time barry's family started showing up after SM went missing?
 
  • #653
Are the PE guys indicating that the cars being parked in the drive way lead to questions of what could be going on behind the closed garage doors? I went back to the zillow pics of the Morphew house and confirmed there are no windows on the garage doors. Thoughts?

It's bothering me too. PE guys seemed to think it was indicative of something, but were not willing to clearly verbalize exactly what.
You're point of possible buddy leaving a car there along with the keys is a possibility. That could have given BM access to a vehicle other than his own. It could have also been an older vehicle that could not be tracked. I anticipate more details coming out soon. Moo

  • #657
Wow can you imagine if a car blocked in Suzanne’s ability to leave the home, and the owner was 3 hours away in Denver the entire day? Red flag.
 
  • #658
OldCop, if BM had scratches on his arms, or neck, or face, and LE saw them, would they have photographed them that Sunday night when he returned home? Is that something that would have been done, or is that only done when someone is arrested? Also, is that something that can be refused, like a lie detector? TIA
Police do not have a right to photograph you if you are not under arrest. They can ask you for permission to photograph you and you can refuse.

JMO

It's definitely a possibility. I'd like to know if there was any communication via Suzanne's phone after the moment when the conversation came to an abrupt end. If not, then that would be a very interesting fact.
 
  • #660
Exactly! If PE says they see a red flag, I'm going with them. Their years of experience carries an awful lot of weight with me.

From Warwicl's postre the PE tape :
* They brought out at least three times that these two cars in the driveway gave a "red flag." (We have all given reason why logically there would be two cars, not BM's in the driveway. However, these two former LE red flag them----interesting).

The two cars are still on my mind too. I think I posted yesterday that maybe they belonged to " the cleanup crew" but if that were true why would BM send the neighbor to the house?
PE states that the two vehicles were not Barry's acc to family members. I take that to mean they were not cars that belonged to BM's immediate family. Others have mentioned that they may belong to his daughters, workers or his sister which alll could be the case. My sense is that once we know the story behind those cars we will have another piece to the puzzle. One or both cars may be significant in some fashion. All my own speculation.
Another thing that bothers me, they never mentioned that the
neighbor actually went into the house or even knocked on the door - I just found that strange. Did Barry just have the neighbor check for cars and the bike and not check inside?
All JMO

My take on that discussion during PE is that the hosts were very measured in what they were saying. I think they might have been told more by the family but then told only certain bits can be discussed on the show live.

My interpretation of the 2 cars being a red flag was that it was the beginning of BM planting the bike ride story. As in, BM called the neighbor and asked her to go over and see what cars were in the driveway. When SM’s car was there, BM says to go check for her bike and boom, the bike ride deception begins. It could have also have been a way for BM to find out if his daughters were home without contacting them directly and setting off any unusual alarms as to why he would want to know that. It would be interesting to know if BM answered any of his daughters calls that day or responded to their texts. He might not have known when they would get home and was wary of speaking with them.

I made a quick timeline overview, this is all from the media topic and LS and other news outlets. The only thing that is not in it, the changes being made on the go fund me page and when that was. If anyone has any additions or corrections let me know!
