Thanks for the breakdown,
@Ontario Mom. Couple of thoughts on your thoughts:
1) I am thinking that it may have been volunteer FF Tim Nelson who called George Davis. He was the one who spoke out because the FF’s were not allowed to participate in the official LE search.

Morphew's colleagues from the Maysville Fire Station have also been attempting to help with the search, although one told DailyMail.com they have been warned off by police
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].
'Barry was very understanding from what I got from George. I know he's not allowed to go home. He's at a neighbor's. I guess they got him there until he's cleared or…'

2). Since we don’t know how long after the bike was found that GD arrived on the scene, it is entirely possible that the bike was photographed and finger printed before he got there.
3). SM’s brother, AM, was actually part of the unofficial search teams starting on
Tuesday, 5/12. He flew in the night before. He stated that the group consisted of about six guys and they searched areas that had already been searched by LE.
4). A reporter posts that LE was going to search the base of Monarch Pass on
Tuesday which would be to the west of the 50 and 225 intersection.

Reward is for “her safe - return- no questions asked.”
5). On
Tuesday evening, BM was caught going through the trash at the Poncha Market. He said his wife was missing and he was looking for a bike helmet. As I said before, I find it odd that he was out wandering around in the near dark by himself 2 days after his wife went missing. Did he drop the helmet there on his way to Br
6). On Thursday, a personal item belonging to SM, (believed to be the bike helmet), was found off the road on the west side past the 50 and 225 intersection. This was after the area had been searched at least once by LE and at least once by private searchers. Not impossible, but if it was the helmet, it was large and a bright blue or teal color and would not have sunken into the brush or ground after only 4 days. In other words, it would be tough to miss.
7). It’s been said before, but why didn’t BM first call GD and ask him to go check on his wife instead of calling the 70 year old female neighbor?
Final thoughts: If GD, of the 10 years of LE experience, 400 tours of duty, and 300 searcher friends, couldn’t find a bright shiny bike helmet less than a half mile from the Morphew home, how did he expect to find SM herself in his 200 miles of searches? Asking for a friend.
