re BM’s statement about doing a mechanical thing to his bobcat

While I think it’s most likely that he did something mechanic to his bobcat in committing this crime, I’ve also wonder if:

Maybe BM saying ‘I did something mechanical thing to my bobcat’ in relation to his alibi/timeline being off is not because of the bobcat specifically but because his GPS data puts him at a worksite at a day/time he did not disclose and his excuse to LE was ‘oh yeah, I did a mechanical thing to my bobcat then’. But in reality, he was doing something completely different at that job site and he is using work on the bobcat as his excuse to be there.

IF BM was at the river/house site on Fri or Sat night or whenever no one else was around, and IF BM was using the bobcat or other machinery down by the sand and rock area, wouldn't that machinery have left some kind of tracks that would be noticed (unless the person endeavored to remove any tracks that would show such activity)? Machinery like bobcats are heavy, are on wheels, and there are 4 tires, yes?

Yes, but if he did it Friday night, on Saturday morning he had MG bring the “muck” up to level and rake it out. Which to me is her cleaning up all of those tracks.

On Friday at 8:15 am (closed thread so I can’t quote) I posted water level data that indicates that the water level of the Arkansas River in Salida was nearly 10 inches higher on May 22nd than May 9th. So I think beach was NOT underwater on the 9th. @PaulaDC also indicated drone footage suggested beach area was not underwater around May 9.
You can search this forum for the word underwater to find my post with the attached graphs which show water level for the year and water level May 1 through Friday.

“I looked at the historic water level data and it appears that the water level of the Arkansas River at Salida was nearly 10 inches higher on May 22nd than on May 9th so I agree with @PaulaDC that the beach area was likely not underwater on the 9th when it was reportedly raked. JMO - I am not a subject matter expert. Attaching the graphs. Compare Data”

Can you explain to me what is meant by MG “raking the beach”. I have seen this referred to so much but missed an actual post describing the process. Did she use an actual yard rake? ( please overlook my ignorance). Or was this raked by a large piece of equipment?

It’s weird how there are those people who somehow rope other people into being loyal to them no matter how ridiculous the circumstances and how extreme the negative consequences are. It’s scary actually. History is full of these people and only bad things happen around them. MOO

I call those people “followers”, they’re never leaders. They allow that “someone“ to do their thinking for them, following and hanging on that person’s every word. How any “friend” of BM’s can turn their back on finding SM is beyond me. BM has drawn a line in the sand, him on one side, LE & everyone else on the other side. Either you’re with him or you must be against him, Nevermind about the missing “love of his life.”

Does anyone have a theory about the pink bike and a guy named scott?

I think this may be the guy "Scot" (spelled with one t), who is a bicycle repair guy in town or near Salida who has worked on SM's bike previously. Chris from PE has mentioned Scot and it's been in reference to bike(s) and perhaps maybe bike parts.

Chris was saying last night (note: check PE video and Tricia's youtube live video) that a pink bike was purchased and Chris doesn't know what for, but surmised it could be for parts. That's as much as I know.

I just am not understanding the triangulation described earlier. I mean how is gaslighting another explained by triangulation? Help please.

It involves three people: 1. BM, doing the gaslighting (fake grief collapse); 2. The person who witnessed BM do the fake grief collapse and who took a photo of it; and 3. All of us, who that second person has shared that witness of the fake grief collapse with either through words or the photo.

BM thinks that since the fake grief collapse is reported to us by that second person, it will be believable.

Hmm. How silly of BM to think he was believable past Mother’s Day. JMO. Thank you. I understand now.

How awesome would it be though for Andy if it turns out the huge effort he put into roll calling this huge army of people turns out to be what leads to her discovery, It would be the perfect ending to what was such a terrible tragic story. The only thing left would then be justice.

It seems to me that tree was digitally removed from the image... I can see evidence of editing.

The photo from yesterday is from a slightly different vantage point. I don't see any trees gone except the one in the foreground. IMO This is likely due to the second photo is taken closer to where BM was "bluffing"..

I think Scot, Suzanne’s bike repair man, will help blow the “bike ride” narrative out of the water.

I think this means that Suzanne’s bike had been staged and was not in working order.

Why else would a “pink bike purchased for parts” be relevant (unless Scot can help establish Suzanne’s last known whereabouts ie: Scot spoke with Suzanne Sat morning about replacing a bike part.)

Right, I watched the lives. That's as much as I got as well...just not sure what bike parts have to do with it, unless this Scot guy is a stalker of SM...or a friend maybe?

Exactly, but if done on Fri night MG would have noticed those tracks on Sat morning, I assume. And if she noticed them she could have, and perhaps would have, told LE about those tracks during her >1 interviews with them.

 

[DetectiveFoyleWannabe]

There is a bike shop locally run by a guy named Scott. I won’t post name here. But I think maybe SM had been there around the time of her disappearance and there is something about repairs to her bike or the like.

 

[dixiegirl1035]

iirc LS confirmed the two people were both known to MG and that one was a friend of BM and the other was a relative of BM

That's what I had heard also. So I guess the OP meant as a MOO.

I totally agree.

Consensus here-did Barry have help?

MOO On the fence about BM having help. I don’t see him trusting anyone with the info of what he did to SM, he would certainly B-splain it as not his fault. I’m not sure he would need help with anything other than a different vehicle to drive to dispose of SM.

I keep wondering what he did with the “road kill” carcass of the dead elk!? Did he use it in disposing of SM, to try to hide the scent?

If the job on Sat morning was to smooth it out by raking then MG would prob be expecting to find it in a rough state (perhaps how they left it last time) so may not have thought tracks unusual , moo

My assumption is that BM may have been the one to purchase this alleged pink bike and the reason for the purchase may have been to use for parts (possibly on SM's bike before she disappeared). Note: this is purely speculation.

I just now finished listening to that podcast. I did not hear Chris saying
a pink bike was purchased. Did I miss that part?
