Photo of BM wearing a wedding band.

My husband never takes his wedding band off. I wear mine but take it off for dishes and cleaning because my hands tend to break out. I have probably gone a week without wearing it. It is beautiful and I adore my husband.

Can you IMAGINE talking that calmly about A MOUNTAIN LION DRAGGING YOUR SPOUSE UP A HILL? “They drag their prey up...” that’s your WIFE! The mother of your children!! It’s only been a couple of weeks!

Interesting term to use for one's wife, certainly.
And no, I cannot imagine.

Not sensing any rage or hate here, though.
Just a brisk coldness and no sympathy.
Back to business and life goes on.
That type of mindset.
Imo.

When asked how long she had been missing, BM pauses for a long moment then talks with detail about why he was in Denver. That, to me, is a strange answer.

I watched the video, not sure what to think, but did notice two things:

He doesnt appear to have a wedding band on (40 sec mark of video). Not sure if he normally wears one or not (SM has a big rock). Not sure if that means anything, simply an observation.

Also, the exaggerations. As mentioned, 400 deployments? Did he say they searched a 200 mile radius? If I remember geometry correctly, isn't that around 125,000 square miles? Um, not possible. Not at all.

Beyond that I lean more toward not believable, but without a baseline it's hard to know...MOO

There is a picture in maps and timeline that shows his left arm around his wife. He has a wedding ring on.

I wish Suzanne had been getting the help she so needed all along.

What do you mean by this ?

 

[KLM6]

I have fallen behind. Need help. Can someone link me to the baggies/handwriting in discussion. Also, the "live" link takes me to a Vallow discussion. Has the Morphew discussion started?

LE isn’t ready to declare BM’s innocence. Strange. If it wasn’t real life, I’d describe the plot as fascinating. I know what I want to believe but I just can’t be sure.

But I’ll tell you one thing, if my wife was missing, I wouldn’t give a damn about any of it.

You’d see me on tv so much that you’d get sick of me. Because when a loved one is missing, it is not about you.

I can’t fathom putting myself first, and making the choice to protect myself, over the life of my missing loved one. That wouldn’t occur to me.

Incidentally, it also doesn’t occur to the vast majority of people in these situations.

It could be a situation like many others where they cant include/exclude anyone as a suspect until they have more info/evidence. This case draws similarties from several cases and definitely has my mind curious.

YES I caught this too! I thought my internet was dragging at that point so I replayed it again and again.

No dragging.....he was stalling.

Yikes. Nothing about what she might have done the day before, last contact with him, daughters, etc, how she was when he last saw her (did they kiss goodbye, was she looking forward to a quiet day to herself, etc), or what she was supposed to have been doing on Sunday. Nothing about when he actually left to go to Denver. With all of the detail he gave about other topics, why no detail here? Devil's advocate, again, maybe LE is instructing not to discuss those topics, but I don't know. That definitely makes me go hmmmm...

I've listened to this video several times.

I need some outside ears to verify what he says at the :44 mark.

Here's what I think I'm hearing:

"Let me show you what happened."

Is that right? Anyone, anyone?

That’s exactly what he said

 

[KLM6]

Absolutely. But I’ll tell you one thing, if my wife was missing, I wouldn’t give a damn about any of it.

Molly Tibbetts dad comes to mind. LE was quiet, but her dad was everywhere he possibly could be.

And if LE told you not to, you’d still go on TV every minute of the day? We’ve been given more clues that LE has asked family *not* to speak publicly about this disappearance than we have been given clues suggesting BM is refusing to. Why is that, I wonder.

 

[curiousgene]

i think he hesitated and really stumbled on what was to happen on mother's day... moo

I felt the same, He took a long pause before answering as if he had rehearsed/ memorized an answer and was trying his best to get all the points right.

 

[Minordetails]

There are lots of quotes from the tape that are being used to cast doubt on BM. However, when BM refers to the second ‘item’, where it was found, and LE not telling him what that item is... BM appears quite believable and legit

 

[Hatch]

@MassGuy It’s always interesting what stands out to one person vs. another. Did he say that his Army Ranger buddy deployed 400 times?

That seems about 390 times to many . JMO

Could it be possible the media has been asked/told not to interview the family? For what reason I couldn’t speculate but I doubt they would want to risk future cooperation from the police?

 

[KLM6]

Thats a good thought, that it was a memorized answer that he couldnt recall at the moment so he rambled off (what appeared to me) an alibi for himself.

FBI behavioral analysts will have a good time with this video.
