Found Deceased MT - Rebekah Barsotti 33, & dog (fnd deceased), Town Pump, Superior, Mineral Co, 20 Jul 2021 *Reward

[laurawlms]

Hoping I’m not veering too far into the not allowed territory since caretaker is not a named POI but it is my own opinion that they aren’t involved in the abduction bc there isn’t romantic involvement & she is married to a woman. However, if the facts change and romantic feelings were found to be involved, I could definitely see how she allegedly could’ve helped. I just can’t see a woman helping with serious felonies (especially someone who is involved in healthcare) unless she had some romantic feelings for the person that she was involved in those alleged crimes with. Another man helping? Def could see it because that kind of thing happens much more frequently, but I doubt the caretakers involvement. MOO of course!

ETA that I 100% believe her ex to be involved in her and her dog’s disappearance. Especially due to current sheriff and law enforcements way of handling this case.

I understand you opinion above. However if you have a facebook account and can go read the caretaker's comments and another ladies comments in defense of DB and in some cases rude and critical of family members of RB you might think differently. One thing Rebekah picked up from the caretaker was her medical THC. The caretaker was the handoff person at Town Pump. Could the caretaker have tainted the THC with another drug rendering RB incapacitated, assuming RB used the THC at the Alberton Rock area? I don't know what kind of THC whether smoked or oil under the tongue.

Oh wow. That certainly does change my opinion of her and her involvement!

I'm not sure of that but I do not believe so. Although on social media they comment as if they were all "besties", AM disputes that. At one time RB was the caretaker; she became the paid caretaker during the marriage. This is not how she met him however. Understand all through their marriage, RB believed DB was a retired/disabled Marine Special Ops. I'm not sure exactly what his disabilities are or were or how all this came about because I have seen a picture from RB instagram (sorry I'm not sure if I can say that social media here forgive me if I can't) showing a very buff DB on the back of a truck in the oil field he worked at in ND from 2018 captioned "My Marine"

Makes me wonder if he falsely claimed some form of disability from the military - and is at risk of being found out.

I thought there were two caretakers, another woman, and if I recall right, she is/was engaged or married to a man. Claiming she was at the house, and at least that's what I understood, he was there with friends, and actually was his alibi by claiming that. She was very loud on FB, the reason why I asked if there are no policies at the caretakers agency how to act professionally on social media. Also, maybe a little covered up to not be in violence of TOS, I did ask about the demands for getting help from a veteran's caretaker....and off course on top of that the insurance, probably with a discount, for being a veteran. Can't imagine they didn't checked things out and needed proof for that, to approve this....Maybe there was a befriended doctor, who gave a (false) medical statement. It seems in Mineral county (and surrounding counties) you can buy everything with money or favorites.

Yes, two caretakers. The two most vocal defending DB on social media. The one that passed Rebekah her personal belongings at Town Pump is the caretaker I described above and I believe the alibi you describe. She has a wife. However it is my understanding she has been let go from the agency recently. The other caretaker I know little about other than what I have surmised from her mouth on social media. Others that read her comments felt like she might be romantically involved with DB. This individual arrogantly confronted AM at the last vigil at Mineral County Courthouse and told her she didn't want the flier at her hotel and balled up the flier and threw it on the ground. Maybe caretaking is/was a second job for her or maybe she is no longer a caretaker and working at the local motel???

Oh my.....don't know what to think of that....that is brutal...

It's hard for me to understand all the hostility by them (defenders) and the threats on lives...if it is just a river accident

I'm pulling up something from the meeting on November 26th a male in the audience said

I didn’t hear it from the presentation, but it seems to me that her estranged husband should be wanting to know where she’s at as well. I don’t know if anybody has asked to access the property to just look and see. Have a cadaver dog go around it. I mean there’s a cloud hanging around this, in this <conference> room. I can tell there’s a cloud hanging around his <David Barsotti’s> head. People are thinking he may have done something, so I would think that he would want to clear his name too. If this is truly a suicide type of situation or a river accident. I’ll all be for that and so to me the easy way is the commissioners just to direct and ask the Sheriff; call DCI. Get them in and get some new fresh look of eyes on it and see what that part of it has. They have the ability to communicate. FBI has all sorts of resources on it.

So what is the big problem? If I was him I would have said....gladly you come by...and invited LE to my property and my house..whatever....Instead you lawyer-up and have others say poisoning things and act very hostile against the family who is missing a daughter....how is this kind of behavior not raising questions in the community. Or LE?

The problem is DB is a classic narcissist and master manipulator. He has the two caretakers under his spell as well as Sheriff Toth and perhaps his deputies. The only way to combat a narcissist is with facts. We need to obtain the facts of his military service and supposed disability and make them public, perhaps via a letter to the local press or some other method. We must break down his support system by exposing his lies. Unfortunately this might put the family in danger, as he will ultimately lash out. Anyone have any ideas? MOO

I would really like to understand WHAT IT TAKES for someone to be declared a "Person of Interest." Here we have someone with a No Contact Order, who has verbally threatened to kill someone who is MISSING, and local LE is perfectly fine with that!! Doesn't that constitute 'evidence' or 'suspicious behavior?' Something that should be looked into, regardless of what you call it? If not, they really should change the rules!

 

[Bit of hope]

There were two threats now on this family. What did LE do with it? And what does the law say about LE protecting people from numerous threats? Is LE waiting to react, when the damage has been done? To serve and protect....isn't it? So who is protecting who?

To be totally honest...I've never read a diagnose about DB's mental state, so that isn't a fact, an interpretation. The other part of your post I totally agree with. We need to unravel his military status/veteran status.

I have been reading some other resources that talk about other men that have lied about military service and this has found favor with LE. In one article I read someone was able to request the liars military record information that is obtainable by FOIA.

Access to Official Military Personnel Files (OMPF)for the General Public

I believe a formal letter has been written and sent via certified mail to everyone up a victim's chain of command all the way to the Governor (including everyone you list).

I hope you choose to pursue this and I hope you have better luck than your last FOIA

The first source admits it sets a higher standard qualifying a veteran than the VA. According to the first source DB is not a vet (180 days consecutive service not including training). The second source doesn't establish time in service for benefits. Here is a good source outlining benefits based on time in service.
