This is a new picture of Suzanne I've never seen ... maybe the Moorman family supplied it? I wonder what significance it has if any?

@Knox Thx for your post.
Here SM looks younger, w darker hair than in other pix I've seen. Was she wearing a baseball hat backward?
Wearing a wig? Taken when she was facing/being treated for cancer first time around? IDK, just thinking aloud.

What is reddish color object (w red arrow) btwn lower left side of her face and her hair?

BBM I’m thinking it’s an earring. Maybe her hair is covering it on her right ear. I think she looks so pretty in this picture. MOO

This story is about one of the branches of the RCFL (Regional Computer Forensics Lab) that worked on the Daybells case. I had posted several threads back about the delays in receiving test and analysis results back due to Covid-19. The region that would handle SM’s case is the RM-RCFL. (RM for Rocky Mountain region.).

Has anyone heard anything about his job that day? Who was the job for? Has anyone come forward with information about it?

Good question.

Considering how "busy" BM was that weekend.

This pic looks to be of a much younger Suzanne.

I'm wondering if it was taken before she even knew BM.
Maybe her family want to focus attention on her identity as a daughter and a sister, vs. her later roles as a wife and mother.
She's THEIR daughter and sister.
So, it makes sense to me that they would want to focus attention on the fact that she was important and loved by them, too.

It's also possible that the picture was taken while she and BM were dating.
I note she's wearing a baseball hat, and as we all know, BM was a baseball player who tried and failed to make it in the big leagues.

I'm pointing his failed attempt out, because I think it's significant.
I'll bet he's never acknowledged to himself, much less accepted, that he wasn't good enough.

Not good enough for MLB.

And not good enough for Suzanne, either.

She deserved much, much better.

JMO.

SM certainly looks very different in this photo than the other photos that have been used. She looks very thin, her eyes are closed, all of her hair is pulled away from her face and covered by a cap.

SM's lack of recent pictures has been discussed in previous threads. The photos they have previously used of her were beautiful, healthy tan, brilliant smile, well styled hair, etc.

She had fought cancer recently. Maybe she had lost some weight and the treatments had caused some hair loss.

Is it possible her family feels this new photo is more representative of her appearance recently? Might this be a picture of her when she battled cancer as a teenager?

JMO, MOO

'I am afraid of what is out there,' he said. 'People don't know the truth, so they're gonna think what they're gonna think.'

Im not a psychologist, and its true everyone reacts to trauma different so odd behavior doesnt always mean anything
untoward is going on.... but IMO its very telling that BM is so concerned with his public image that he felt the need to comment on in it, in his first interview in 3 months but doesnt express the same fear about where SM could be or what happened to her. Additionally stating "people dont know the truth" sort of implies that he does know the truth, so Im very suspicious of his statements

ITA. If he were innocent and truly loved Suzanne, he wouldn’t care what people were saying about him. He would have done an interview on camera with LS and not pulled a “Leticia” style interview. At least Leticia showed her back and we could hear her voice. BM couldn’t even do that. MOO

Thanks for the information. It’s disheartening that it’s such a slow tedious endeavor especially when lives and minutes matter in every case. I was gonna state more but will leave it at I appreciate all our blue lives do and that they matter significantly. Where would we be without LE? Where would our kids and other missing loved one’s be without without their commitment? We had a local shooting at a Mall tonight and it’s just not the norm for my area.
It scares me to know that children could go missing and it might take months to break a password to find where they are. It scares me more to know that violent predators including husbands know that it might take a long time to locate and hopefully save innocents. IMO

I note they're also hash tagging #SuzanneMoorman.
Moorman. They're her blood.
She's THEIR daughter and sister.
So, it makes sense to me that they would want to focus attention on the fact that she loved by them, too.

It's also possible that the picture was taken while she and BM were dating, or maybe newlyweds.
She looks to be in possibly her early 20s in that pic…I can't recall how old she was when she and Barry got married, does anyone here remember off the top of their head?

I note she's wearing a baseball hat in that photo, and as we all know, BM was a baseball player who tried and failed to make it in the big leagues.

I suspect this failure left a permanent chip on his shoulder.

Not good enough for MLB.

Can we just take a second to appreciate SM straight slaying with her 80's hair do. (This is not meant sarcastically, she looks beautiful). Also this is an amazing find, hats off to your sleuthing skills. I didnt know she wanted to be a teacher, she must have been a very loving & patient person.

I 100% agree with you. It was cowardly to do a phone interview. If my spouse were missing, there would be nothing that would stop me from talking about them. I would do every interview, I would be all over social media, I would be organizing searches. Who cares what strangers think, isnt a missing spouse the only thing that should matter right now? While this case is known, there is so little new information released and if it were me I would be out there telling everybody, everything on the off chance it jogged someones memory. The spouse is ALWAYS a suspect that shouldnt be a suprise, its criminal investigation 101, and it shouldnt hinder his ability to be proactive in his wifes investigation. Especially since he claims LE is destroying evidence... I mean if that were true why has he not gotten a lawyer involved? IMO hes doing the bare minimum to find SM, and only doing what he thinks is socially required.

Exactly! He’s a coward who cares what everyone thinks, blames everyone else, exaggerates everything, and surrounds himself with friends that are considerably younger, that he can control. MOO

Thank you, I had forgotten he had a horticulture degree.

We all assume it was likely GD who first went to the scene when SM was reported missing. But I’m wondering if it could have been this one:
Tim Nelson, 33, said: ‘The Sheriff’s office, they told us none of the fire guys are allowed up there.

‘They can’t keep us out of the forest so that’s what some of the others have done – they set up their own little search party.’

Nelson added: ‘It’s a bad deal you know. They aren’t telling us anything. We got excluded from everything.

‘George [Davis] put together a search team of friends – I was going to go but pretty much all our fire guys are on it so I decided to step away just in case we get something [a fire]. (From a Daily Mail article)

BM said in the LS interview that a friend that was there had tried to stop LE from destroying evidence. This Tim Nelson said he was going to go on the search put together by GD, but decided to step away from it. Was it because he was the one who had the run in with LE? The Fire Chief, Robert Bertram, said that the first he heard that SM was missing was when he got a call from one of his ff’ers on Monday.
Either way, Tim Nelson definitely has a chip on his shoulder. MOO

I don't think it was TN because the person on the scene then told BM that 10 people touched the bike and obliterated the evidence. PE identified that person as the Army Ranger which I think is GD, right?

We have no inventory of BM's equipment, and no confirmation if the Bobcat or different equipment moved from Salida construction site late Saturday night.

Can "we" find out, if BM did sell equipment/construction vehicles before the movement to CO in 2018?

 

[swedeheart]

ITA. I’ve been pondering those statements, too. I’ve followed Gannon’s case very closely and when he says people don’t know the truth, it sent chills up my spine. All I can think of is LS saying “ wait until the truth comes out... then everyone will owe me a big apology .”
And when he (BM) says he’s been afraid to speak because he “ doesn’t know what’s out there” .. uh, C’MON! He absolutely knows what has been said on Social Media from the beginning. JMO

i also was reminded of T-bag explaining away why blood would be found in the garage (she said gannon cut his finger) when BM was explaining the "bobcat thingy" incident. there was no need to bring that detail up at all in his interview, so why did he? bc there is some evidence there with the bobcat, that's why.

eta: leticia ALSO brought up passing polygraphs on numerous occasions. that seems to be a trigger for BM, too, although in his interview with lauren, he was bringing up the polygraph to dispute what suzanne's family members had said about him. why on earth would you even be up against your wife's family during a missing person's case, when that missing person is your wife? (we saw letecia also at odds with gannon's family). could this man be behaving any more like LS?

moo.

what are y'all's thoughts on this very specific hole? (screen grab from helicopter footage over the job site).

 

[enelram]

Good post! Saw this myself when my family moved across Colorado to a more ritzy resort town, parents divorcing right and left including my own.
Party towns full of youth, physical beauty and atmosphere of fun is hard on marriages

As I recall, the studies showed that moving away from extended family
and into an area of different mores no longer has the surrounding family acting as the glue that helps bind the family unit together.

There's something about having that extended family looking over your shoulder that inhibits
bad behavior and keeps family members in line.
See how important it is to BM 'how he looks'
to others and what they think of him. He must be squirming that his inlaws and home town
relatives are seeing this side of him.

 

[enelram]

I assume that part of the cell phone analysis includes at least one Mother’s Day call between LE and BM about Suzanne being missing. I would assume that BM told them where he was during that call-still in Denver, on the way home, exactly where he was at that moment. I would love to know how that one turned out under analysis.

I believe we heard early on that BM never made any call to LE to report his wife missing. For some reason that call came from the neighbor.
This was discussed at length in a very early thread.
Someone correct me if I'm not remembering correctly.

quite ominous looking, eh?

We surmised ground penetrating radar was
used to sorta x-ray the ground at the site.
These little clues are what led me to wonder if she wasn't temporarily placed at this site.

Wonder if the sniffer dogs also alerted here?
