She would apparently put her bike and gear in her car and drive to a bike trail then go on a bike ride. So she would lock her car before heading off on her bike trail ride and would therefore need to take her car keys with her. I thought this had been mentioned before because I am sure I read this on this thread already.

Where are you getting this? She did not take a bike ride and even if she did even Barry didn't claim she'd have put her bike in the car on this "alleged" ride. The only thing about that comes from the bf when talking to officers before they knew where she went, where the bike was or would be found, etc. that for CERTAIN rides, she would take bike in car, not on this one where it turned out to be (still fake ride though). You are mixing up posts and talks of before they found the bike versus when they did and where. That was simply the daughter's bf talking of various trails or rides she may have taken when cops asked before they had talked to almost anyone or even went looking for her.

Let's get this straight, even if there WAS a bike ride,not once or ever has it been indicated she did not leave home on bike or that she took her car or even touched it that day.

The DNA thing far later is just from them searching and taking everything later on and even to this day there is no indication she took her bike in her car and there is no indication Suzanne ever touched her bike or was alive that day.

Sorry but it is a pet case so forgive the vehemence but you aren't up on it all I don't think. That's okay but letting you know that you aren't. Believe me I am not up on others and even in this one forget some things but am up on the key things and have been since day one.

 

[GrandmaBear]

But he car was at home and her bike was found near.

Man did I miss a lot of posts I just came across from backtracking on someone's response to one.

Yeah BM staged the bike near to appear to be a bike ride from home not a bike ride she transported her bike in her vehicle with. That has never been considered and isn't the case. Pieces are being added and put together here that aren't fact and have no relation to each other.

And there was NO bike ride.

 

[GrandmaBear]

They could have ambushed her near to her car at a trail head and got her to do whatever they wanted. Eg drive her to her house, rob her, kidnap her whatever.

For those of us that still do not understand that a partial dna match means it doesn't match the person but would be a relative of that person. This is the most concise, all encompassing definition i have found so far

Partial Matches​

Overview​

A partial match occurs when a Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) search is conducted and the results clearly show that the offender profile is not the source of the crime scene profile (also referred to as a forensic profile), but the possibility does exist that a close biological relative of the offender might be the source of the crime scene profile.1 CODIS searches can be conducted using various stringency modes:

• A high stringency search would only ‘hit’ on an offender sample when the DNA profiles are identical
• Moderate stringency searches include situations where one DNA profile is homozygous at a locus and the other is heterozygous with one of the two alleles being the same as the homozygous allele

I do not blame the partial match dude for lawyering up in the least.

 

[Cousin Dupree]

You are worried about the DNA, say you can't stop and yet you won't listen to something about it? Fine.

She isn't my fave but she addresses the issue and knows about it as many of them do. The guy on Court TV on the other hand although good at what he does, didn't know sh*t about it nor was up on this specific case or followed it throughout in the same way.

I gave you a time stamp so you did not have to listen to it all, it is a couple of minutes.

And I can't count the number of times I've watched someone or something annoying of yours and regretted it.

I went to your time stamp and there is nothing about DNA.

 

[Cousin Dupree]

No. Not the same: Find a place that says it is the same DNA in those places. The only place they say it is a partial match to is on the glove box. They found DNA on the bike and helmet but nowhere reputable can we find where it says it's the same DNA in those places.

Where does it say it's not?

 

[Guess Who]

Where does it say it's not?

There is nothing REPUTABLE that says it is. It all says glove box. SheWho already gave that challenge.

 

[Cousin Dupree]

They have not said it is, or it isn't the same. I'm guessing that it is the same since they didn't differentiate it publicly.

 

[Guess Who]

They have. They have specifically mentioned the glove box but have never said anything about the other. Just that they found DNA.

 

[GrandmaBear]

The contractor probably didn't care if he was licensed in the state or not. Most of them, the most they are concerned about is getting a w-9 and work comp and liability insurance certificates. That is, if they even ask for those things. I've never had a GC on a job ask for licensing. The only places that have asked for it is if MY company is pulling a permit. I can't recall one ever asking for me to provide a license.

I can believe that but we are talking a new state, a big contractor he was subbing for plus wasn't it a city job? Broomfield?

Doesn't really matter in the scheme of it all other than his relating to his lies and shadiness, etc. We may never know the trouble he was in in Indiana with his business (something was up there) and I think there were a few reasons he wanted to up and flee to CO.

Anyhow one of the FIRST things he did when he got hands on money after SM died (among other spending) was to pay for licenses I gather. This man was in a financial mess, didn't have any and owed, and had been pulling things she was finding out about. Anyhow just more motive, he has many. And was about to lose it all and lose face in many facets of his life.

I think pressure was on from all sides and I think the business licenses were a huge deal if he so instantly did that. I gather they are quite expensive in CO.

Imo if they weren't a big deal, a type like Barry wouldn't pay to get them...? Maybe who he subbed for was one that made it a big deal and a city contract certainly could require all be on file no?

 

[GrandmaBear]

I went to your time stamp and there is nothing about DNA.

Did you got to an hour and 41 minutes in? Or a minute and 41 seconds? OF course it wasnt being discussed right at the start at a minute 41.

It is at an hour and 41 minutes. Even a few seconds before it starts. She isn't the TOP one at explaining it but she does it well enough. It isn't long, a minute or three before they are onto something else.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Where does it say it's not?

The only DNA that partially matched such was on the glove compartment. Watch even the Court TV one I linked which is pretty good to watch generally anyhow, I don't agree with the guy on the DNA but again he wasn't up on the case in the way someone who followed it was. The bike and helmet DNA aren't the same, etc. So explain that one... IF the glove compartment guy, who is NOT THE RAPIST(S) abducted SM, then shouldn't it be his DNA on the bike and helmet? I'm sorry but it is ludicrous especially considering this is not a rapist match AND Barry even never placed her in her vehicle, just on her bike.

I do think however when he disposed of her he took SM's vehicle. Or possibly the daughter's. So if you want to hold to this, and that it was even recent DNA, then maybe Barry had someone with him in the passenger seat... Who touched or sneezed on the glove compartment. OHHH BOYYY.

And by the way, my first and foremost theory was that he took her opposite of Broomfield and not in his truck. The find in Moffat actually cements this for me. He had I believe at least two plenty long enough windows that I believe were disposal time. I wondered like all if he could have put her in the mountains, down some dirt road in a lake on the way to Broomfield, etc. but never felt that as likely. It would be too near at home and on way to Broomfield would line up with his alibi in a not good way, meaning on the way he disposed of her. His alibi isn't a lie per se, the claim she went missing is. He really was in Broomfield on Sunday. But she wasn't killed on Sunday.

 

[GrandmaBear]

They have not said it is, or it isn't the same. I'm guessing that it is the same since they didn't differentiate it publicly.

I am pretty confident it has been said it is not by many. If you want me to find a source you are out of luck but I believe it was even said in the Court TV one I linked. Not positive, but I believe so OR it is a pretty safe assumption. Watch it and let me know. I know you like Vinnie so shouldn't be a problem for you.

Depends on what kind of licensing you need in Colorado. I'm not sure about excavating, but just for exterior building (roofing, siding, widows, etc) it wasn't so much the $$. but whomever was going to be in charge of the work had to pass contractor's testing. It wasn't cheap, but very, very involved and had to have many references for jobs of certain $$ values. I have no idea what he might have to go through though. And yes, this was for Colorado.

My guess is that he might have gotten busted not having one and/or now people knew who he was and doxxing him found out he didn't have one That one, I would find rather funny since he caused his own mess for that.

Yeah I had that thought while I typed my post, that first he may have been in hot water BEFORE she went missing due to someone or something, I think he burned some real bridges and things in IN or suspect he did but MORE SO, once his wife went missing and he is being looked at yeah, they are going to find out everything as is the online community of what they can. WHY can't we find a license fort his guy, WTH is this non profit thing, WTH is he able to get control in IN of his wife's money and all with eldest daugther (and they lived in CO...), and every time he tried something with the house, renting for BNB, selling, etc. the online ones who put a LOT into this case were on it immediately.

Yeah. Barry did all that to himself. When he murdered his wife and claimed she took a bike ride. Imho. Face it Barry and quit blaming and suing others. SCUM.

 

[GrandmaBear]

In the Court TV one, the one guy was asked what he thinks of the shallow grave thing. Even though he was not up on every detail on this case an even though he was not up on the DNA and what it means in this case, he WAS up on most and DNA in general.

He said, knowing the area, that you don't bury deep easily in this area without the proper tools. Hard ground, etc. And anyone not knowing that would find out the hard way. Paraphrasing. On this question his response was great and spot on to this case. Barry didn't have the proper tools for his workers and faked alibi job in Broomfield eiher. This is what I TAKE from this. Barry was covering up in both cases to not think of such things nor have time to do it right. Barry is not a Colorado native.

He had a several hour window but panicked no doubt, had a helmet to throw out, a body to bury, an alibi to get to, etc. This is my take and thought.

Personally, my thought was Barry just went the opposite direction, was so full of it and cared less or thought he'd be caught that he just hurriedly dumped her in a somewhat lazy and sure manner he'd went opposite and would never be suspected, the area looked at etc. BUT his point makes more sense. You can't dig this ground easily.

My summary on just this key point is Barry never had the proper tools for anything ever and not that weekend to be sure... It combines though with the thought I've always had that he had enough time and likely went in the opposite direction of his alibi. I actually thought it could have even been two to three hours away rather than 40 minutes tops even although that would have left him less time to then get back home and switch vehicles and head for Broomfield, etc

Moral of the story: Barry never has the proper tools.

JL did not kill SM. I didn't want to read 129 pages back when it came out either. And I didn't at first but then did, like 40 here and there or some such and found it well worth it and I told all back then on YT and elsewhere to read it if they hadn't to know what is being talked of. It also is easy and interesting reading for the most part.

What did you do, go search for JL in it lol? And ignore all that implicates Barry? Yeah it has been awhile since I read it so would appreciate you sharing what you read and so forth.

The case went nuts on the internet. I am sure JL had enough reason to not want his nude pics and posts with SM outed ever, or to hurt his wife, kids or tarnish is rep with his family, etc. more like it. I don't think much of him and you can chase the idea but he didn't kill SM. I suspect he flat out panicked when he found out about it, saw it grow big, wondered if their affair was found out by Barry and if that got her killed by BM etc.

Barry killed his wife. He profited and moved to do so almost immediately. He suspected an affair. She was leaving him. Etc. And so much more.

Libler was in Michigan. Heck they were talking and their phones connected when SM went missing or very close to it.

I don't like the selfish coward he was, he can cheat on is wife but even in a murder case won't face the music and come forward to help the investigation. I don't doubt he first kept telling himself she would be found, or something and not murdered to excuse his cowardly ways but that is all there is about Libler. He is not her killer. Barry is.

All jmo, don't need BM suing me. Not that I'd be worth the effort lol.

This is what I have learned so far by reading it. JL destroyed evidence and kept quiet. That is why I am interested in him. She disappeared on a biking trip and he introduced her to biking. She had only been biking for about a month when she disappeared. I know LE have been looking at him too as they checked for both him and BM to discount their DNA from within Suzanne's vehicle. I would like to know if LE had any others they looked at. Haven't had a chance to read any more ATM. Waiting for LE.....

It will be difficult for them to charge BM without new evidence though right?

 

[Tresir]

We're still talking about a very slim margin of people who it could belong to. They need to know whose DNA it is.

Not just the glovebox DNA too but the other DNA on the bike, helmet and rear seat cushion. They need to get that identified or they won't be able to charge anybody with certainty IMO.
