He will help "if asked"?????? Excuse me? He should be out there searching every day regardless of being "asked". He should be organizing his own searches.
Just makes me think of a significant other of a missing hiker up here. He literally searched for months on end, daily, until the mountain and weather forced him away. He did not leave the mountain for days and weeks on end. He still returns every summer when the snow melts to continue his search. --- I know not everyone can do that. But to not even bother trying? Come on.
Good points and many compare him to other cases where the parents of a child or someone who lost a spouse, also was wondered about as well but they stayed front and center despite suspicion, and went out of their way to clear themselves quickly and get publicity to help find the person. Mark Klaas is often compared as is Elizabeth Smart's dad. I can honestly say when both were abducted from their own homes, it did cross my mind in each case how odd it was someone would take either from their home (not all that common) with other people present. I in no way thought it was the parent or decide that in my mind but I did think it highly unusual--home abductions and with Klaas during a sleepover with friends--I even wondered about a friend's parent. But both fathers got right out there, took polygraphs, said do what you have to do to clear me and stayed at it and kept it in the news.
The man you mention, that is heartbreaking and I do wonder how people quit searching when they have no answers but still have to make an income and get back at some point to take care of the rest of life and family and how hard it must be watching life go on fearing your loved one may be out there, alive or dead... I think of how hard that must be for Michael's parents in Kimster's local case...
This man is not right in this case. I also forgot to mention above that not only has he said the brother is looking for publicity, and his own employees a felon and two meth heads, the local cops are also inept and messed up what I consider probably a staged bike scene anyhow, let me see who else has he said negative things about?
Ya know what?? If he is at odds with LE and puts them down then get out there on social media and on the news and tell the public where you were and when and about your week with Suzanne, your life, your receipts, video, when you booked the motel, when you were there, what you both did that weekend, her habits, etc. and convince the public if you think the cops are inept! Why would he hold back, he has no reason to as he thinks their investigation has gone wrong anyhow. Wouldn't you say if someone thinks he himself is being framed the best way to fight that nowadays would be to go to the internet, because there are some crooked LE, politicians and more, look at what Vanessa Guillen's family got going! It took them some time and some effort, it looked like it was fading and then they picked up support... Barry, nope. Not organizing his own searches, not working with LE, not helping with this search.
I don't know if he is guilty (I have my opinion) but I do know his behavior is one of a guilty man and there is good reason many are looking at him.
He was invited many times, right on podcasts and I believe with Lauren Scharf by Suzanne's brother as well on the news... It also was made clear just to find Suzanne and no other issues would arise if he would like to help. Does Barry need an engraved invitation or what to go search with these tons of volunteers and the biggest search that will likely occur and many volunteers from his town of Salida and a bunch from his town in Indiana for HIS OWN WIFE? I am sure the way this is being handled that even if the girls wanted to at least be there and hand out water or posters but be protected from media, etc., it would be arranged for them. Imho.
Okay. Enough from me. Clearly one of those days...
