How clueless are these daughters? He's clearly guilty

[@skylarsky3173]

I watch a lot of Dateline and 48 hours and I can tell you that this is more common than you think. There could literally be video evidence of guilt and family will believe and side with the perpetrator.

[@btrueeth]

They prolaly brainwashed!

[@talitam.8414]

These kids are traumatised, they lost their mom who was murdered and they only have their dad left but he might go to jail. They might lose both their parents literally and figuratively, that has to be terrifying so I'm not surprised that they're holding on to him, it makes sense from their perspective.

[@anh1192]

They’re clinging on to the only parent they have left and probably to their childhood memories. You really never know what happens behind closed doors … even in your own house 😬

[@sadiemaegirl162]

​@@skylarsky3173 I watch those shows too and others and I 100% agree with what you saying and there was no doubt in my mind this was a homicide and he did it.

[@therealrhodiemx]

They suspected from the start that he shot her with a tranquilizer gun

[@corajones1980]

Husband is guilty!!!!!

[@Itsreallyme571]

Those daughters are strange 🤔

[@magicbuskey]

When their mother disappeared it was during the 2020 pandemic and I think both of them were on a church bus in another state even though everyone was on lockdown. That to me is strange. Because they couldn't get ahold of their mom for mother's day, Barry supposedly had the neighbor go check the house.

[@donnakreye8339]

Definitely entirely odd situation.

[@hkr321hkr]

And now they can investigate the needle cap found in the laundry machine from the husband's house.

[@user-st6nt4ou6f]

[@btrueeth]

The husband did it

[@Fat12219]

Did it or not , he is under so much pressure 😮😮 !

[@alenec98]

Thankfully she was found in a different jurisdiction. Hopefully, the DA in Saguache County will take this to the finish line for Suzanne and her loved ones. The girls, especially Macy, were lying in that interview. She knows they were fighting........ For the love of God, and their mother, I pray they do the right thing.

[@Legacybyt]

Exactly

[@magicbuskey]

The DA who prosecuted Barry was advised by the CBI and FBI not to proceed yet due to lack of evidence. The DA was elected to the DA position even though her own sister went on social media and said her whole campaign was a lie. She also had complaints against her law license but she was elected anyway. This thing has been a cluster failure from the beginning. The house where Suzanne disappeared from is in a low population county. The sheriff's department didn't have much experience with this type of case. It also went nowhere for a long time until her brother in Indiana went on social media and got thousands of people to go to Colorado to search for her body. That attention got more attention from the FBI and CBI. Sometimes family and friends are the only reason these cases go anywhere at all.

[@caramileelliott1719]

They never like their mom! 😢

[@geraldine1437]

Those daughters know who is buttering their bread - their father!

[@Legacybyt]

Finally, someone sees exactly what I see. These girls don’t care about the father killing the mother. The only thing they care about is the family fortune.

[@Fat12219]

Big problems 😪

[@usmcmsgt5487]

You know the husband did it. Now he is done….. caught and a judge or his peers jury will find him guilty. It’s crazy how family members are so gullible……. A father could be a serial killer have all the evidence and DNA yet the family will always say no he’s innocent there’s no way. Ridiculous.

[@btrueeth]

They probably are brainwashed.

[@captainobvious6070]

Mail privilege, go 4B women.

[@marnellkent3682]

Exactly! As a psychologist who had a private practice in Indiana (where these daughters were raised) I can testify to what long-term brainwashing does to one's ability to perceive reality. Women in that part of the country are taught to believe they are responsible for anything their husband does sexually. I've worked with women who thought they were responsible for their husband's homosexuality and even the sexual abuse of their children. Before I moved to Colorado I had an Indiana female friend tell me - "Any woman who can't control her husband through sex just doesn't know what she is doing." I wasn't raised by a woman who used feminine wiles to control her husband. So I never fit in in that part of the world. As a psychologist, I can also understand the denial that could lead a child to believe that their father is their protector and savior in spite of evidence to the contrary. As a psychologist, I developed a scheme that helped numerous women escape abusive partnerships. The fact is, women in these relationships are more likely to die while attempting to leave. Most seek help from some male friend or relative and often develop romantic relationships they believe will help them leave. Too often that backfires and is seen as the reason for jilted husband's rage. The idea that a man's Home is his Castle is still prevalent in that part of the country. However, they are ready to jump on the idea that a woman can also be charged with abuse. So she'd better not scratch while she's on her way down to the floor after being hit! This happened to a client of mine and she was charged with spouse abuse! As an outsider I could see the the irrationality. But if you're raised in that environment, it's really hard to believe it's not the only way. I recommend that people who don't understand this phenomena watch podcasts on KZbin by Dr. Ramani. I wish this resource was around when I was a private practice psychologist. It's really helped me understand this phenomenon that is sweeping our country. I pray for all victims of abuse. May you find peace and your abusers have bad memories. 🙏​@@btrueeth

Hope Barry goes to jail! Justice for Suzanne

[@leighhoppins9273]

Think it is strange that he shot a deer then disposed of the fluid, nobody that i know who shoots a deer or even a bear would dispose of the Tranqulizer and or the stuff inside of it, But if you shot a person weather it is your friend, coworker, or your intimate partner you’d defenetly know you’d be in jail for life so your gonna do anything to hide whatever they can find to charge you with murder

[@MrMarmaduke09]

I’ve always thought the husband was guilty. Didn’t he sue after his charges dropped?

[@troiscaniche4937]

If he did do this - hope there is very clear evidence, so his daughter will believe it, and can begin to heal.

[@Legacybyt]

These girls don’t care about his guilt. They care about his money.

Why is the autopsy only being released now? Those daughters are totally disgusting. Supporting someone who killed their mother.

[@RayrayWarren]

Right ty he daughter's may be in on it these idiots know they had issues in their marriage their mom said she talked to the youngest 1 knew and wanted her to divorce the killer. Allegedly and they haven't got her remains what daughter's do that to their mom they know he's guilty and so are they of supporting an abusive scum bag😢😢😢 and not claiming her remains done it 4 me she had all enemies in her circle adultery or not she didn't deserve to be hunted like prey Allegedly 😢😢😢 rih eternal peace suzzane 😢😢

[@AD59669]

When they brought charges, they didn't have a body. She went missing in 2020 and found fall of 2023. I'm sure it's difficult to complete a full autopsy after so many years. And since foul play is being investigated, they have to have a good case.

[@magicbuskey]

They might be afraid of him. Think about it. If he is guilty and feels closed in and they don't support him, what would prevent him from murder/suicide? I think they are potentially in a very dangerous situation and I hope someone is keeping an eye on them if this heats up against him. Please read my other comments in this thread. I followed this case from the beginning and it has been a cluster failure from the start. I think both of the daughters were on a church bus in another state on a retreat during the pandemic when everyone was on lockdown. That is strange to me. The daughters couldn't get ahold of their mother to wish her happy mother's day so they told their dad they were worried. I think that's when Barry sent the neighbor over to investigate which is what kicked off the whole search for her.

[@Junitunes]

It’s so cruel she died on Mother’s Day

[@audreydaleski1067]

Hubby did it. Chipmunk hunter.

[@btrueeth]

He said he was hunting deer. He killed her and also called her a deer. Kinda adding insult to injury.

[@Fat12219]

😮😂

He had the drugs and dart gun. He used a real gun that day, too.

Knew all along the husband killed her. Lock him up already and throw away the key.

[@angelawatson1594]

She certainly didnt dart herself, go for a cycle, abandon her bike and helmet and bury herself in a shallow grave. 🙄 and his cellphone showed running around chasing something the day she was last seen alive. And he admitted to darting wildlife and a cap from a dart was found in the dryer

[@AngelicaEve]

He is guilty asl. It’s nearly unconscionable that BOTH of his daughters wld simply IMMEDIATELY side w/the father 🤔 it’s sad cuhz there’s enough partial evidence that leans towards him then anyone else🤦🏽‍♀️

[@heidiperez1387]

No husband is ever going to admit that they killed their wife, inside or outside of jail.

[@mariapilarme]

I tell you, you won’t find in my dryer the cap of a tranquilizer dart. I see enough evidence already. Who is involved with Suzanne that uses tranquilizer? People don’t have common sense sometimes.

[@conradsieber7883]

The kids are in an impossible situation. Your mother's murdered. Do you want to believe your remaining parent killed her? We'll see how his daughters process the new information that animal tranquilizers were used. Increases probability of this guy's being charged again.

[@leighhoppins9273]

Otherwise, anybody knows that you kill a deer even when it isn’t legal to do so or a bear would just have to pay a fine so They’d never be soooo quick to hide whatever was used to kill a wild animal with, never ever ever

[@margaretlines9427]

Remains were bones scattered. no hands feet or pelvis recovered. No bike ride staged. her glasses and camelback in car. car parked at home, DNA partial of someone related to SO. not evidence really.

[@Legacybyt]

For those of you who wonder why those girls are standing behind their father is because of money. If they turn their backs on him, he will take the money away. So if you expect them to love their mother enough to live and her truth for her you are absolutely wrong. These girls will, defend their father and his money until the end

I live in Colorado and the area they were in was small and they were only there for two years. Who would have killed this woman with a tranquilizer gun besides her husband? I’ll wait.

[@CocoAvalon]

We shouldn't blame the girls for supporting their dad! He's the only parent they have left, so naturally they want to believe him. This is very common in these kinds of cases. Plus, if they never heard them argue or witnessed anything first hand, then it makes sense why they think he's innocent. I think Barry is very guilty, but I understand why his daughters don't see it this way.

[@margaretlines9427]

But they overacted at court appearances. Not normal behavior, even IF he was innocent. I do not believe he is innocent after all the evidence so far presented.

[@CocoAvalon]

This is the same stuff he used and cops found he said he was shooting animals in the yard come on he shot her and then killed her

[@ButterflyRaine]

The following is an excerpt from page 119 of the AFFIDAVIT FOR ARREST WARRANT dated May 4, 2021. SA Grusing asked Barry if he shot the tranquilizer gun on Saturday, May 9th and he said, “Absolutely not.” Barry was told no tranquilizer, like BAM, was recovered at the house. He said he used BAM Telazol and Xylazine as tranquilizers. When Barry was asked if he disposed of those, he stated, “I don’t recall.” Barry was asked what he used to reverse the tranquilizer effect and he said, “Tolazine.” Barry said he brought the chemicals, which he knew to be controlled substances, from Indiana and kept them on his workbench. Barry said he kept the chemicals in vials and injected the chemicals into darts, not using a licensed vet for the process. When asked if he was able to do that all himself, he said, “Yeah, absolutely.” Barry was asked the last time he used those chemicals and he said around the end of April 2020. SA Grusing asked if those chemicals could have been part of the workbench he cleaned off before he went to Broomfield and he said, “Could’ve been.”

[@Meriysi]

All these comments about the girls, I want to explain why they might be standing by him. There was a guy I knew growing up and his mother went missing and it was clear to everyone his dad did it but police didn’t have enough evidence. I asked him why he still sometimes talks to his dad. He said although he thinks he might have done it, he doesn’t know for sure. I think mentally he can’t handle losing both. He already lost his mom and police couldn’t put his dad away anyways. So what choice did he have? He couldn’t put his dad in jail himself. He already lost his mom and didn’t want to HAVE to lose his dad too. He was willing to live in the grey. He said when they charge him it’s different. It’s definite. It’s final. Until then, he already lost his mom…. Didn’t want to lose the idea of his dad (who he thought his dad was, not who he is in actuality) and he continues to wrestle with that to this day.

FYI that bedsheet was one of the daughters who doesn’t live there. I bet while he was chasing her, she went upstairs to one of the girls room and her final breath was on those bedsheets. That’s why that cap is there. He forgot to pick it up while on top of her trying to get her down. Remember he has a king size bed and I bet I’m right that it’s the daughters.

[@margaretlines9427]

She did not die there. She was immobilized and transferred to another location off the property, because cadaver dogs would have alerted otherwise.

[@IntuitiveButterfly86]

The daughters have already had one parent taken out their life,so they are just trying to hold onto what family they have. I feel sorry for them when they find out he is guilty. But i do wonder about the unkown dna found in her car and on her bike helmet. He could have had an accomplice or hired someone to do it. But I strongly feel he is 99.99999% guilty.

[@corvopro]

Maybe (1) or BOTH of the daughters along w/ the father murdered her BECAUSE she was going to file for divorce, was having an affair & was going to br8k up the family. 🤔🧐 It's very possible.
