Still Missing CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 *arrest* #96

If the state calls either of them, isn't the defense limited to questioning on the lines of what the state asked? I am curious when this camping trip was planned, who set it up, if there was any discussion about it, and what they knew about Barry being out of town (if they knew he was leaving Sunday early or if they thought he would be home with their mom on Mothers Day when they decided to go away). If they were questioned about those things wouldn't the defense only be allowed to question them on those topics? Maybe I'm off there.

We've all had the same questions about the girls' trip and BM's. Would LOVE to know the answers.

I do not think they blame their mother but I think knowing about the affair perhaps and it is speculative made them feel sorry for their dad enough for them to stick by his side. Just a possibility.

Yes, if they were brought into their parents arguments by Barry “the victim” and then tried to defend mom, I’m sure finding out she wasn’t “perfect” and had an affair crushed them and made them hurt for their dad.

On the other hand, being grown young ladies now one would think they would read the AA just out of curiosity. If so, they must have a ton of doubts about their dad even though they’re standing by him. And that’s the sad part. Their hearts and minds must be ripped to shreds.

Yes. My guess is the prosecution wanted to use her to maybe speak to domestic abuse in a general sense. I'd be surprised if it was allowed.

Domestic abuse is REAL but after the Jodi Arias trial, I’m hoping a DV specialist never testifies again. Or, let me correct that and say I hope I never have to listen to one after that woman.

If they have any derogatory information about their dad, any, I believe they will perjure themselves. They will not want to incur Barry’s wrath. I believe their testimonies would only bolster the defense. And that makes me cringe.

Found this regarding "attempting to influence a public servant"

Attempting to Influence a Public Servant 18-8-306 | Denver Crime Lawyer

"The key then is your intent in trying to deceive a police officer in an attempt to alter what that public servant would have ordinarily done if he or she had the true information at hand."

I'd say Barry did this plenty. Starting with claiming their marriage was perfect. I'd say that counts as attempting to influence.

Australia's very own recent murderess, Natasha Darcy, offered someone $20,000 to give false testimony. Now that is really "attempting to influence" - didn't work, the person went straight to LE.

Edited because somehow my comment was right in the middle of the quote I was trying to share.. lol Had to fix that.

Whooooa.. so my wheels just went turning again. This "job" he had in Broomfield.. were those permits secured before he arrived there? Was there something there with that job he threatened or tried to back track and get permits after, etc?

The charging document actually names the public servants and the date range of May 10, 2020 through May 5, 2021.
So from the day SM was reported missing until the day BM was arrested.
I believe the first 4 names are CCSO officers ( Walker might be an investigator with the DA office) and they were the first ones on scene May 10 and May 11 to initially interview BM.
The next 2 names are of course CBI Agents and the last 2 are FBI Agents.
I don’t know if this helps us figure out what exactly the charge of influencing entails though.
Just thought I’d share.

We've all had the same questions about the girls' trip and BM's. Would LOVE to know the answers.

My guess is MM1 and her GF. It was right after exams ended. Macy probably wanted to go or her sister wanted her to come. If it is coincidental to Suzanne’s disappearance it is also coincidental to an end of the college year exams road-trip getaway. One of mine would leave for a rafting trip right after spring exams. Barry seemed vague about the trip but I think Suzanne had the details and she dropped MM2 off in Gunnison according to documents. I also suspect they had to have asked the girls about the trip and if it was anything Barry had suggested investigators would have jumped all over it as one more piece of evidence.

 

[fcavanaugh]

The charges were standard. In every no body case we have seen murder, tampering with a body, and tampering with evidence.

The short rifle speaks for itself. Obviously he was getting charged with that.

The influencing charge was the only unusual one, but that's only because Barry misled investigators for the duration. In those other cases the suspects didn't speak to law enforcement, or did so briefly.

Barry spoke and lied for nearly a year.

Yes agree 100%.
RBBM- IMO, if BM’s lips are moving, he’s lion. Oooppsss, lying. Misdirection galore.

BM’s Ignorance and Arrogance know no bounds.


IMHOO

Eta- thank you @Cindizzi listed above the 8 Public Servants BM tried to influence.

 

[Love Never Fails]

What's amazing is that in all of these cases, the fact that the accused is a horrible person is not in dispute.

People may disagree on if a particular person is a killer, but in this case specifically, Barry being a sleezeball and pathological liar is not in dispute.

Groping and kissing a married woman, while saying "you are Suzanne to me."

Discussing his daughter's virginity in front of dinner guests.

His pursuit of that massage therapist.

Countless documented lies about anything and everything.

He's a creepy, horrible person.

He's also a killer.

For me it’s simple.

Barry wanted his wife to be a saint in public, the Christian perfect wife. And his *advertiser censored* at home because all he needed was sex. She couldn’t have any flaws. And all the while he was hypocrite in chief, cheating so as not to get caught, lying through his teeth to anyone willing to listen, shady business deals, and so on.

His wife was not going to leave him, nor could he keep her if she was flawed. She had to die and he had to do the deed. After all, in his words, killing her may have saved one soul. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. So easy to detest that man.

Can you imagine what he puts MM2 through? He never said she was the virgin. He also likely didn’t want her living with Suzanne so she could smutty up her life.

Understand, all of this is just my opinion.

I don’t believe in coincidences. Just saying.

I'm not so sure about M1. Even if she did perjure herself, I think it would be transparent - even though I do think she's being groomed to lie for him. She seems like an innocent to me. I could be dead wrong. IF she were called, she'd be confronted with her statements to LE and whether she was lying then or lying now, if she were to choose to deny her previous statements.
Barry's incessant lies about everything - especially his alibi, the state of his marriage and the discovery of Suzanne's texts (to mention just the tip of the iceberg) point to only one thing. Barry murdered Suzanne.
What the judge deems admissible is quite another story. I'll be looking at him BIG TIME to explain the reasons for his rulings, but as we all know - you can't unring a bell. [Enter appeals attorney, stage left]

 

[BDAJAG]

Thank you

I don't think so. The responsibility for delivery of discovery lies on shoulders of the State through the prosecution team. The judge(s) has been responding to defense motions and setting deadlines for prosecution to deliver since the beginning.

<emp resp supp>

OK.
"For the delivery of discovery..."

That's galaxies apart from accomplishing / under- taking additional discovery, per se, at the behest of the defense because they might be obliged if you did!

The former is contemporaneously in the hands of the prosecution; the latter ain't - may not be out there - may not be obtainable if it is!
Good Grief, counselors... Just because the wind whistles through your ears doesn't mean the State's stewards of the citizens' taxes are similarly afflicted.

 

[Diddian]

The more I think about this... it' maybe because this is above and beyond just plain lying, denying involvement, creating a false alibi, etc. If it happened how they believe it did, he pre-staged a fake wreck, had a neighbor report a missing person, showed up to that bike scene continued to play along with an active investigation as if he had no idea what was going on, when he in fact staged the scene, threw away evidence of that actual crime, drove far away to remove himself and that all adds up to me to be way more than LE finding a suspect and questioning him and him denying he did anything wrong. This was a clear attempt to create a false crime to cover up for the one he actually committed.

When speaking with LE, BM also accused at least two other specific individuals of likely to have been involved in SM's disappearance: the former employee with whom BM had conflict over previous attempts to repair the wall in Broomfield and the Salida citizen who legally sold SM CBD oil. That's some serious LYIN'.

 

[marylamby]

I don't think we ever got any details about this alleged FBI agent; it's weird. I tend to think he's made up, as if Barry used Go Fund Me money to pay for that lot (as definitely appears to be the case), then you'd think he'd be way too cheap to hire someone. He'd also have used this as an excuse to explain where that money went.

If he exists, you'd expect him to have been interviewed.

If he doesn't exist, then that's just another huge lie to add to the pile. I'd love some clarity.

IMO, Old Barry would NEVER hire anyone, no less an ex-FBI agent, to do any investigation. Forget about the cost, he wouldn't want the investigation to lead to exactly where it would.

 

[rainbowshummingbird]

I'm going to try to keep a straight face here but do you think it's possible that Barry was lying about the PI as he'd always had the hots for Holly - wanted her to think he was an innocent victim?
Copping feels off A MARRIED WOMAN - whose husband's head is turned TWICE, no less - doesn't sound like a religious man who takes marital vows and religion seriously, even though he conveyed how Suzanne would "approve" whatever happened between them?
Is it just me or does Barry seem more like a 15 year old boy looking for his next sexual encounter 24/7?
Maybe that's why he was on the MONKEY APP and the site where he accessed "My first hand job", written by a 13 or 14 yo?
Creepy doesn't begin to cover it but it seems like anyone will do. Not finding it amusing any longer as this became a natural progression of thought I hadn't intended before responding.
I think there's much more than meets the eye or the imagination with this predator.

She should’ve had him charged with Sexual Assault.

 

[LandManatee]

Bear in mind that among the list of the 500 prosecution witnesses are at least 2 females who came forward to LE, who interacted with BM on some of the downloaded dating sites on his phone under his alias name. They are women that are not known yet here but are known if you are on some other social forums following this case. I won’t name them of course because they can’t be sleuthed, but I thought I’d mention it since there is discussion of not recognizing some of the names on the list. This is fact. However, we’ll see if they remain on the witness list as we approach the trial.

MOO IMO

You did mean MM2 correct?

 

[marylamby]

Were they dropped or ?? He clearly isn't prevented from seeing them.

He was warned to not try to influence his daughters or some stupid, meaningless wording.

It might not be too late!

I believe you. But how do you know it’s fact? Haven’t we received the witness list and all the State documents up to now?
