I am sorry but those notes seem less like clues with actual facts and more like just random thoughts or theories.

That interview didn't offer any further information than we have had since the first or second day of this case.

LE knows the deal- verify the timeline, verify the story, look for corroboration, look for motive, look for purposeful deception. Peel the onion.
 
From the lovely pictures the VI shared yesterday of BT, it did appear to me, that her wearing a bikini and having a beer during recreation was common, not out of the ordinary. She looked comfortable and relaxed. The description, although it comes from RT, could very much be what she was wearing and carrying when she went missing.
 
The neighbor’s video capturing BT the morning of the day she disappeared will be very helpful.
Was she smiling and relaxed? Looking stressed, or arguing?

Seems like the China trip might be a factor here *if* something happened?

Amateur opinion and speculation
 
On the authorities reporting "no trace" of BT:

It turns out No Trace has a very specific definition in SAR. Specifically according to "Lost Person Behavior":

No Trace: Search suspended without locating the subject.

Overall frequency for single hikers, male or female, not being found (no trace) is 3%.

It does not mean that there is no evidence of the person ever having been there.
 
That young man offered nothing new..
Just his belief that RT knows exactly what happened to his mother and needs to own up to it.
RT 6 days go by and Never called the son.. RT has a lawyer and that says alot in itself.
RT daughter talked in the beginning and agreed with her father that BT was taken by others..
LE offers no opinion..

We are still at day one .. "sigh"
Time for a drone search of the area looking for what others may have missed..
It is the only thing that makes sense other then RT placing her body in another location.. jmho.
 
""Still frantically working on a way to get information to bring her [Barbara] home," said Robert's attorney, Eric Anderson out of California."

frantic: wild or distraught with fear, anxiety, or other emotion.

Attorneys are usually very careful about the words they use.
Mr. Anderson is inferring that RT is working to find information which will result in bringing Barbara home.
No pleas to the public, dissemination of 'Missing' posters, hiring PI, etc. from RT or his attorney?

I thought RT’s lawyer’s comments odd. “Still frantically working on a way to get information to bring [Barbara] home.”
Maybe just worded weirdly...

I think a lawyer basically has to “believe” the client unless there is firm proof of a lie. So it seems to me the lawyer is more or less parroting the kidnapping story and Bob has probably been providing leads as to the perps and motive. So you know, he’s hanging at the casino and all, probably trying to get a bead on where the kidnapper is so they can negotiate. That casino is not in LV, either... so I guess the kidnapper had a change of plans.

Zero, zilch, nada. Whatever RT and his lawyer are frantically working on is a mystery. MOO

I wonder what kind of “information “ he is speaking of. Seems to me the only information they need is the whereabouts of Barbara.

I also noted that she has a pretty print bikini, a blue cap, a white cap, and a wide-brimmed hat. IF the pic RT shared was not taken on the day of the alleged walk/hike, if there even was one, she could have been wearing any of those items, or maybe a simple shirt and shorts. MOO

When my DOG went missing a few years back, I put flyers up everywhere and placed an ad in the throw away paper. I cried every day for 2 weeks until the person who found him called me. Just sayin'. MOO

Everyone may have assumed that RT would have done so immediately, but I’d like to know, too.

Bystander effect. Or diffusion of responsibility. In short, everyone assumed that someone would have already called her son.

Five days in, wouldn't you have assumed that the son would have heard about his missing mother somehow, from someone?
