CA CA - Barbara Thomas, 69, from Bullhead City AZ, disappeared in Mojave desert, 12 July 2019 #10

[kay74]

RT did not do anything and LE said no abduction. It's too hot to go back and look for her and I believe after SAR searched for 9 days he decided he did not want to go back out there and look for her body. It would bring on horrible memories of that day.

frustrated.
confused.
genuinely sad for Barbara and those who love her.
i wish i could physically do something to help.

 

[GordianKnot]

Do you really, really, really think he ever thought that?

I, for one, sure don't.

I think he's always known better.

JMO.

Please, it is not too hot to go back to search for her. She did not go missing from Death Valley or any other low desert location. She went missing from a 4,000 foot elevation area.

This region is super scenic portion of Kelbaker Road, which cuts thru the western edge of Mojave National Preserve. The Kelbaker pavement reaches to an elevation of 4024′ at Granite Pass, about 6 miles north of the exit @ interstate 40. Boulder outcroppings, bare mountain peaks, secluded cove camp sites w/ dirt roads, and old mines all over. Joshua tree forest and pinyon pine forest encircle the Mid Hills region.

Respectfully, nobody knows that to be true.

Well, almost nobody....the only person who can definitively state whether or not that is a true statement is RT.

The same RT who informed the public at large that LE told him his polygraph showed he was being deceptive.

So there's that.

JMO.

 

[Tillicum]

It's possible that LE has asked RT not to search. Even so I would expect him to be putting out flyers or asking for help in getting other searchers involved. The complete silence is puzzling.

Round and round we go ...

i don't find his silence puzzling anymore.
silence speaks volumes...

Yes, and actions speak louder than words.

 

[Gigi3]

I doubt very much that he still thinks that.

Maybe, maybe not. We have absolutely NO clue what he thinks, but we do know he thought this at one time because that came directly from his mouth. Doing anything at this point is better than doing nothing. JMO.

It is puzzling, but presumably those silent know a great deal more than we do. I’ve seen it all on these threads; anything is possible.

That said, I agree another search is in order.

He's 72 years old plus probably depressed over this. To go searching now, IMO is mindless.

BBM: I think he found it baffling, that's why he said that and probably to get reassurance from someone that this has happened before with individuals taking polys.

If he's not too depressed to go to the casino, then he's not too depressed to go look for the love of his life. MOO

investigators are all over this case. they have so many leads theyvjave not even followed up on the info i provided them.

to all of robbies family members, please stay vigilant and most importantly stay safe. praying no one else disappears surrounding this case.

if anyone here regulars the riverside casino, or the losers lounge, please keep an eye out for POI

investigators are not looking into casino. i have info this is where POI is spending time.

Ha! Yes, I hardly think Barbara would have told him “if something happens to me, I want you to go on as if nothing happened. Don’t search for me, don’t publicize my disappearance, you do you.”

We don’t know what really happened, but this behavior is odd.

To say the least.

The casino could have given him some relief. JMO

BBM:

Interestingly, RT was also 72 years old when he and BT purportedly decided to go for that "hike" aka walk in the middle of the desert in the middle of day.

Some who have argued that this was a perfectly sensible, normal activity for RT to engage in with BT, now apparently want to turn around and argue that it doesn't make any sense for RT to go back to that same location to search for his wife aka "the love of his life."

Huh. Interesting logic there.

Seems to me, RT has a much more profound reason for going out into the middle of that desert in the middle of the day now than he did back on July 12th, if his version of events is to be believed.

Keyword: If.

JMO.

If my husband was lost somewhere in the desert the only thing that would give me relief would be finding him. If I wasn't physically able to search for him, and if I could afford a plane, a 350 Ford and a Cougar, then I'd darn sure be paying someone else to help find him.

Hell, atleast feign interest in finding her.

Just something. Anything.
