Agree, thank you NothingSurprisesAnymore.

So he phones Suzanne for the 10th time after she hasn't answered his previous 9 calls and the call lasts only 2 seconds.

And then what...? He ends the call after just 2 seconds because she didn't answer immediately, waits a few minutes and calls her for the 11th time?

What's up with that?

"Barry's phone exchanged two messages with "Tim Backhoe" at 1 :49 PM and 1 :50 PM. Barry also made an outgoing call to Suzanne for two seconds at 1 :51 PM (his tenth of eleven consecutive calls to Suzanne). "

IMO the plan to murder SM went "final" before Saturday ... likely earlier in the week.

The text messages which point to separation are only an artefact of the real world interactions. It seems clear that SM communicated the finality of her decision. That's when he went final. The weekend was the opportunity to carry out the murder.

I do suspect he murdered her in a rage on saturday afternoon when the plan was for Saturday late evening, but i don't think it was because of any elaborate surveillance. I suspect it was the interactions on Friday PM or Saturday morning he was stewing over.

If the call only lasted 2 seconds, maybe Suzanne swiped to decline the call?

 

[mrjitty]

Yup. Grusing included body language in the AA on more than one occasion, as he obviously found it very significant.

That was a key moment.

Here's another example on page 121, he's really trying hard for a confession.

View attachment 332811

IMO he nearly broke at that moment.

 

[mrjitty]

The fact that the charger IS missing is, IMO, evidence that he killed her and dumped the charger because you can very easily buy a new one. He got rid of it to make it look like she took off - without her pocketbook, keys, credit cards, ID etc.

RSBM

It is especially important that we evaluate the entire web of circumstantial evidence together and don't henpeck individual pieces of evidence.

So I agree, the fact that the charger is missing as well as the phone, is important. The question is what inferences to draw? I agree that we need to have regard to the fact that she didn't take money/keys/ID. Here is why ...

The most obvious reason to take the charger, is to charge the phone IMO.

But if SM didn't leave the house ....

IMO the most obvious inference to draw, is someone was interested in what was on that phone.

I would be curious to find out from MM2 if the Master Bedroom doorframe was cracked prior to MDW.

IOW, was it cracked before leaving on her camping trip or the last time she was in the home? How long had it been cracked? Was she present when it was cracked? If the crack existed before that weekend and she wasn’t present when it happened, what excuse was given by her parents for it occurring?

Or did she learn about the doorframe crack in the first few days her mother went missing?

MOO

"right now Barry is not going to stand up and tell everybody his story because he is smart enough not to do that."

Oh. OK.

 

[mrjitty]

IMO since he admitted dumping tranquilizer material he felt he had to produce the gun because who stabs chipmunks?
I'm leaning toward him stabbing Suzanne.

On a previous case I came across some interesting writings looking at what the method of murder says about the killer and the relationship with the victim. In this case we don't have the body, but I think we can discern some very interesting points.

In the Kercher case, you see a level of sadism in the knife play. In the Becky Watt's case, you see overkill, indicating a loss of control (common in first time murders). In McStay a level of brutality and pure ferocious savagery in a beating to death of 4 humans that is difficult to comprehend. Pistorius as a gun murder demonstrating a frightening level of aggression and violence. Watts a deeply personal strangling of the mother and disposal of the children.

In my highly overvalued and unqualified opinion, the use of stupefying drugs represents something quite different to the above examples.

A desire to avoid messy physical violence and instead to have complete, clinical control over the victim. This is reflected in the crime scene. Barely a coffee cup out of place.

For this reason I think he definitely used the 22.

He wanted to take care of business. A messy fight wasn't the plan.

I wonder if there is any good reason to think that BM may have had someone to help with the planning? Some of this seems a little too clever for just BM. IMO

I am not sure it is clever for him though?

He knows all about tranq-ing deer, therefore he has that in his toolbag. Throw the body down a mineshaft? Not rocket science.

Everyone knows these days that their phone gives away location. He knows his Truck is tracked because he gets all his journeys in his phone app.

I think his staging is actually quite poor, apart from overpowering SM, which lets face it, was the easy part.

 

[Warwick7]

I've always had the feeling that Barry caught her in the act of taking selfies of herself in her bikini (or w/o it on) and when he saw her doing that, he knew damn well those photos were not getting sent to him, which would have threw him into a (murderous) rage. Didn't he park the truck away from the house so that he could sneak up on her? If that's true though, had he already pre-planned on murdering her that specific afternoon/night, and seeing Suzanne having fun taking seductive selfies was just an added "straw" that broke the mountain lion's back?

Well, if she was taking selfies then the cloud will have them.

 

[IronyDetective]

I’m not that familiar with the texts. Did Suzanne often use “wanna” instead of “want to?” That looks like Barry-text to me.

This.
Also
“Get hot tub stuff”
I REALLY hope LE have spent a lot of time checking Suzanne’s friends and families text messages for familiar turns of phrase, grammar etc. These could be so revealing.

And BM said he was SM's "ATM" and I have no doubt he is the ATM for others as well. JMO (quoted from last thread)

Each time I see something written along this vein I become rankled. It speaks to dominance and misogyny on so many levels and only an un-enlightened man-boy would think it is an okay thing to brag about. I wonder how it made Suzanne feel, each time she heard it? I doubt it was grateful.

Perhaps it became an inside joke within their family unit? Who knows?
