BBM:
In the initial interview, at the very least, he would have been trying to "sell" his innocence.
He no doubt fully expected his version of events to be readily accepted and for LE's investigation to have proceeded as if she had indeed gone for a bike ride that day while he was hours away in Denver.
"No questions asked."
Only, turns out, LE must have had a few tough questions for him, after all.
Once LE signaled that they weren't biting on the staged bike/mountain lion/abduction storylines, he began taking a much more combative position with LE, as evidenced by the following:
- Posts made by his "spokesperson," TN, on the Find SM page demanding that people "Ask the sheriff about the condition of the bike!"
- That disastrous video with TD where BM himself accused LE of screwing everything up, not telling him anything, "10 people touched the bike," etc.
I have no doubt that BM has adopted a pugilistic stance with LE at this point.
I imagine he's told them things along the lines of, "Hey, look, you guys aren't telling me anything, so why should I tell you anything?"
The fact that that isn't how investigations work, notwithstanding.
JMO.
