Interesting. Thanks for posting the podcast. My thoughts:
What's the story of Barry and the chain saw in the back of the car?
Are you documenting this graphically on paper? It would seem very useful.
You said to Bill: "nobody thinks he got lost". Does that include the police? Does everyone also exclude the possibility of a medical emergency accident?
Who is this WMES that you speak of owning property?
Have you spoken to his friend Dave Abbamondi from Egg Harbor Township?
Why don't you put an OPRA request to the cops for all the info they have on him? You make it sound like they are bumbling and incompetent, even uncaring. I find that hard to believe. They want to solve crimes. They have an ego like everyone else.
Why on earth would Holly Haines be going out to dinner with Barry? Odd, since your sources make him out to be a cantankerous guy, embarrassing to be around.
That word "beautiful" in the last clip escapes me. I would never swear to hearing that in a courtroom.
I really appreciate your thoughts, thank you for taking the time. A chainsaw was recovered from the trunk of Barry’s ford edge, he used to tell hunt club members that he was “going to take his chainsaw for a walk” (cut down tree stands he didn’t approve of). Debbie Zeldin provided the police report after our OPRA requests were denied. The OPRA was denied because “the NJSP has a right to withhold information they deem sensitive”, i have no idea what that means, could be there’s a civil case against them I don’t know about? Or perhaps they know more then they’ve discussed to this point.
All the officers who investigated the disappearance have refused to be interviewed so far but that may change in the very near future. There is no crime at this point so I don’t understand their reservations but to be honest the guys at the hunt club didn’t speak to me until i sent them a registered letter. Barry had a stroke so nobody has excluded the medical emergency theory. I’ve spoken to 3 different SAR organizations that work with cadaver dog handlers and they all believe that if Barry had died in that fashion the dogs would have picked up a scent on the 13th and for then next couple weeks at least. . Everyone I’ve interviewed and spoken with has said they had some concerns about how the SAR teams conducted the search and so far Mr. Boddy and anyone else i’ve contacted hasn’t returned calls.
I have not commented on the search teams because I haven’t heard from them. I don’t recall what WMES stands for, I believe it’s West Manahawkin Environmental some such but at the end of Radio tower road where the two gates are located, the western gate has their Name and phone number for contact. I have photos of it i could send to you if you’re interested. The vehicle should have been processed for fingerprints, the family and at least 3 witnesses told me things that were never documented on the reports. I had 2 other people tell me they called the cops and they never followed up.
Viewing the report it’s my opinion that they were solely focused on Janet Zeldin, i also have 3 retired officers working with the team who have viewed the report, 2 are retired FBI agents and 1 is a former lieutenant commander NJSP, they agree with me, at least half of the report is them visiting, questioning and harassing a 70 year old distraught woman, it’s embarrassing. They believed either Barry was actually lost or Janet had gotten rid of him somehow. Here’s one anecdote, they made a special note about janet accidentally deleting her dialed calls to Barry that week... just check the phone bill fellas, yet they never followed up with her to find out if his pistol was in the safe after week 1.
i would love to speak with the police, that’d be great. I believe too much stress is put on the NJSP because so many local departments don’t exist. They’re nor incompetent, they just don’t have the time. Check out the statistics on missing persons in NJ., take a look at the issue in Tom’s River alone. Their’s room for improvement in policy and practice, lets put it that way. If god forbid you have someone you care about try to get the FBI involved early on by any means necessary and deal with the repercussions afterwards. I think the Holly story is Barry’s bullshit although it’s a mystery how he got permission to hunt on that land. I would love to speak with Dave, would you know how i could go about getting in touch with him?
Thanks again for all your thoughts and help to this point! PS- one of my retired FBI agents is now a full time Paranormal investigator, he’s the guy who recorded the EVP and sent it to me, i met him through our other podcast, the word Beautiful is very clear on the original recording. I use simplecast as my host and they post process the file i send them and sometimes they flatten everything out because they think that’s the desired result. I have your email so i will forward you the original.
