This is my speculation - but I think it’s related to drugs.

-Meth has come up a lot and with various people all in BM’s orbit
-Salida is the cross roads of three highways making it an ideal location for trafficking
-The locals refer to the secrets in the mountains but everyone seems to scared to talk
-The former Sherriff of the county next to Chaffee opined very early on that he thought this would be more than a domestic issue.
-We seen alledged ****/mob like behavior out of GD and TN and probably others that I’m forgetting.

I’m not saying this is why SM was murdered but more than likely there is significant illegal activity that risks being exposed as part of this murder investigation.

FWIW, BM’s behavior has many common tendencies of someone that uses.


I said months back this reminds me of the show Ozarks. It seems very likely that drugs are involved in some shape or form. IMO

It’s baffling to me how he can’t even PRETEND to care. He doesn’t even TRY. I think he’s completely over the edge and/or drugs.
Or drinking....

I’d like to know how confrontational BM was in his interaction with the searchers yesterday? Was he calm? Was he ‘seething’? I’m not sure the act alone of patrolling your property with a shotgun is a sign of an ‘unhinged’ individual, but, considering the context, it’s awfully suspicious. BM’s actions are becoming a defence attorney’s nightmare.

we ran into somebody and they told us uh
you're about to get on private property
so do you know who that person was do
you care to reveal
anything yeah it was barry he was up
there hanging trail cameras with a
shotgun on his shoulder
and and what did he say he wasn't
crossed (cross) but he said you know you're
about to go on private property and
you're not allowed

so you're looking for your sister so
so you're looking for your sister and
he's putting cameras up
and with a shotgun with a bunch of
searchers for his sister is that what
you're saying
yeah absolutely


BM seems to have the most extreme case of Get Off My Lawn. Certainly not illegal behavior but given the severity of the situation, and the fact that his own wife is missing, that he vowed to do "whatever it takes" to get her back, his behavior is definitely suspicious and highly questionable.

Happyday, if he would have publicly pleaded for her return, hired a spokesperson for updates as the lawyer just mentioned, organized searches, and at the very least supplied the local LE office with flyers, he would still have a lot of critics, but there would be many you tube/FB ppl defending him. Maybe he didn't/doesn't care, but he's got children who are affected by his attitude towards the searches and towards SM's family. How stupid is he anyway.

Yes indeed. Heavy drinking and a bad personality can lead to very bad things. But I wonder if there isn’t also an “upper” mixed in there that might be fueling the aggression even more?

What if SM was not originally on the property but after two search warrants were executed on the property and BM s not arrested, he decided to move SM’s body back to the property as he felt like that was now his safest option to conceal her and is why he’s being so protective of his land.

What if the evidence AM’s team found was relatively “fresh”

I wonder where BM’s recent hunting trip took him?

There was a recent hunting trip?
Link please?

Exactly!!!
He's not being prudent, he acting unwise, careless, irrational, foolish, rash, thoughtless etc...

There's an action Barry could easily take to help the effort to find his wife and not even have to show up or participate, and that is directing some of the giveme$$ donations that were made to him and his family for the purpose of finding SM, to the volunteer search effort happening now. It would garner a ton of positive press and could be done without Barry having to appear even once. Matching the donations Andy's fund has received would be a huge PR gain.

Andy has already said numerous times not one penny of the donations will go to him and any extra will be donated by him to one or more of the causes (SAR or somesuch), so Barry wouldn't have to worry that Andy will pocket the money.

If I were Barry's attorney, assuming he had one, I'd strongly encourage him to donate this way and if I was his PR rep I would insist on it.

Suzanne Morphew missing 4 months, investigation continues - Chaffee County Sheriff

SABBM:

We continue to follow leads and tips as well as develop information and have not limited our search areas to one particular location. With this we are planning another law enforcement search in the near future.
_______________________

The above is from the CCSO's press release on September 1oth.
I found it intriguing at the time because of the fact that the statement about LE planning another search came after AM had already announced his own plans to organize a large private search.

Here's a thought that's occurred to me:

If LE wanted to quietly conduct a search under the radar, right now would be the absolute perfect time to do so.

The media is focused entirely on AM and the private searches taking place.
Cybersleuthers are all glued to their tracking apps.
BM is laser focused on guarding the perimeter of Fort Puma.

Nobody is paying much, if any, attention to what LE is doing.

The CCSO announced that they were planning another law enforcement search "in the near future."

I wonder if the future is now.

JMO.

Lets take it just one step further.

Lets say for argument sake BM had been drinking and took an "upper."

Ok, now he's out patrolling. Let's say while he's under the influence he trips on a tree stump maybe he doesn't fall but drops his riffle and it fires. Lets say it hits a searcher in the shoulder....

Foolish is as foolish does....

Even if there was no drinking or upper and he still strips and hits a searcher, its still foolishness on his part.

I wondered about this way back in the beginning, but then came around to this being way simpler and “typical.”

I think if drugs are involved here, it’s on a smaller scale than Mexican drug cartels and money laundering etc.. But I’m back to wondering about the possibility that there’s something to that angle.

Barry doesn’t have the presence of mind to put up trail cams even though he purportedly moved out of his home because of privacy issues. He had 4 months to put up those cameras, yet chose the day that he knew people and media would be everywhere. But the gun-what’s the point? Is he going to shoot a trespasser? Is this his way of threatening people? Why would he threaten people that want to find his wife? How unhinged is he?
I think he couldn't help himself - he wants to be in the "thick of it" IMO without actually being there and possibly being asked where she is? Which makes me wonder, did he "spy" on his family using their security cameras in the past? He clearly has knowledge on setting up and their usefulness in viewing activity - I am guessing they are motion activated (mine are) and he gets notifications (mine do).

That could be! Maybe that's why AM said he thought something big was going to happen today. I don't know exactly how he worded it, but he seemed to expect there would be a significant outcome very soon.

I wonder how he knows the evidence they found was relevant to the case. Maybe LE confirmed that to him? Andy told searchers to look out for burn piles. Was this near the residence?
