Still Missing CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 *arrest* #84

[Scootie98]

So.... Barry backed the truck up, presumably to detach the trailer and Bobcat. He was in a hurry when he drove up originally, it would seem. He may also have freed up access to a garage bay and positioning the truck to block the driveway from sight.

Did LE ever impound the trailer? Was Barry ever allowed to retrieve it from the lockdowned property?

Might he have dug a very deep hole in the driveway? Buried Suzanne right there SO SHE COULD NEVER LEAVE, then backfilled it, then detached the trailer in place over the spot? And the next chance he had, bring in new rock and redo the whole driveway, which IMO was suspiciously unnecessary....

Same driveway SD jogged up.... weird way to walk on a grave. :/

Wonder if that was a typical 2 day delivery or an overnighter? Seems like even Barry knew he'd need to make it look like you ( or your agent) have a reason to be where you (or your agent) have no reason to be.

And see this is why it's so egregious and also a crime -- while the offending party can claim to have a reason to be there, the home owner does not know this. Is she armed, has she come to do harm, does she have 3 tranquilizer darts or a chipmunk gun?

There were other smarter ways to reorder or reclaim that package.

I don't, however, think it had anything to do with the package.

JMO

Would Barry be so stupid as to bring LE's attention back to the location of the body by his own decisions? I hope so...but I doubt that she is buried anywhere around the house. She is either underwater in a secluded location....or in a mineshaft or dugout grave. I even doubt that she was dismembered as some think. I think Barry made a bee line to and from the site under the cover of darkness. The lions share of his time was spent on the cover up/clean up afterwards, imo. She is likely within 25 miles of Puma Path or so....but very well hidden.

Do we expect he's actually following the rules because he wants to stay on the straight and narrow or could it possibly be because he has on an ankle monitor and is forced into following the rules. Don't give him too much credit for being upstanding at this point.

I'm sure BM has already Googled "how to put ankle bracelet on airplane mode"....

eta kinda odd to see them in action for real instead of via twitter

 

[Scootie98]

Correct, but one of the sellers of the piece was disappeared. I think that that would be important information for the buyer to know. Wouldn't you want to be made aware of that fact as a potential buyer and would it not influence your decision?

The buyer would have know at closing about the guardianship, imo.

Wonder if Barry disclosed that chipmunks were apparently a serious pest? And his method to deal with that was to run around the place shooting them!

And maybe offered to continue being their own personal chipmunk shooter?

A case doesn't have to have the exact same fact pattern to be applicable precedent. You just need a case that considers the same legal question in a manner that's material to the decision, like this one does. Simple trespass cases are unlikely to make it to appeals courts since the legal fees involved in an appeal are likely to far outweigh whatever the penalty might be. So the question is almost always going to be considered in the context of something more serious like Neckel or like the police search cases that were cited previously. But the rules the court outlines in those more serious cases apply to simple trespass cases as well. In Neckel, the court outlines when someone who proceeds onto someone else's property past a 'No Trespassing' sign is not, in fact, trespassing. That includes cases where they're authorized by statute (like the process server) and cases where they have an implied license, like mail delivery, neighbors knocking on the door, etc. These exceptions don't nullify Colorado's criminal trespass statutes, they just govern how the courts interpret the 'unlawfully' prong of the statute. If someone enters the property under an implied license, they are not entering 'unlawfully' and so they are not legally trespassing ("A person commits the crime of third degree criminal trespass if such person unlawfully enters or remains in or upon premises of another." CO Rev Stat § 18-4-504).

I think the rule definitely governs SD's case, but I don't think her behavior fits under the implied license of a neighbor going to knock on a door. She didn't ring the doorbell and she took a package from the porch. That doesn't seem to fit under the definition of a 'normal and legitimate' visit to me. And the fact that she was probably retrieving the package for a man accused of committing murder in that house will definitely not help her if she argues that she was just a friendly neighbor making a normal neighborly visit.

I hope the DAs office is taking note and ensuring excellent preparation of witnesses, including how not to be made a fool of by EN.

What was shown, IE was impressive to me jmho, but different case, different evidence and facts.
Did show her stood behind him with her hands on his shoulders - showing all he was no threat I'm guessing?
Didn't she do something similar with BM?

@Boxer sbm"It shechad rangg and ta"??

By googling I found "shechad" (on FB. also anime???) but wonder if your PC was clearing its throat or if your auto-correct went rogue?
Or did that refer to something else?TiA.

Wasn't Suzanne's name on the deed? If so, the buyer was well aware she wouldn't be signing any of the offers, closing, etc.

I'm going to type this but not provide a link because it's a gray area for sleuthing. Many states have all of the county property records online. Chaffee County, Colorado has all of the property info online. You need an address or a legal name to search. Chaffee has more detailed records than some places, for instance the floor plan is viewable on the property record.

i read that SD doesn't qualify for a public defender. so she needs a lawyer. should be no problem for BM to find her one and pay for it. seems only reasonable since SD was doing a huge favor for BM. i wonder just how much SD knows about BM. if it is too much, BM might need to make sure SD stays happy with him. that mugshot of SD makes me think she could flip if somebody starts dissing her. no doubt in my mind SD could become a KK under the right circumstances. MOO.

Her eyes were intense - I imagine a few people being intimidated by her

Well, isn't that romantic?

Perhaps they will end up with matching ankle tags.

I am just waiting to see if his fancy lawyers will be defending her.

Sheriff nabs porch pirate

"Shoshona Darke, 51, of Salida, was arrested by Chaffee County sheriff’s deputies Tuesday on a charge of criminal trespass after investigators identified her as a trespasser Monday at the former Barry and Suzanne Morphew property near Maysville, a press release stated."

My goodness, the total lack of context is puzzling. Guess it's not a newsworthy tidbit that the arrested woman is Barry's "close personal friend" and the property in question is where Barry murdered his wife and is awaiting trial for first degree murder. Just a minor detail.

His and Hers .....can just picture it now - matching prison wear available too

and that the property is basically a Noah's Ark wildlife refuge, and that the animals have criminal tendencies!

Do they do double rooms with ensuite at Chaffee county jail ?

 

[windrower]

I think the fair thing to do from the new owners is to warn this Shoshona not to do it again


How do you contact someone that doesn't live there?

Oh me, oh my, what are BM and SD to do? ( Sorry, I guess that might be a little snarky.)

Well, BM sold the house to the new owners, so has paperwork with their contact info.

It just occurred to me, Barry knew who was buying the house and that it was intended to be a vacation home. I'll have to double check the AA, but I believe it said the home was occupied the previous week. If he is that close to the PP home, he would be aware that the house was empty again.

Honestly, I'm not sure which one is the Cushman property.

Yes, to bolded.

Let’s get on this! A new Etsy business category: PrisonWear. Maybe the first outfits could have a chipmunk pattern? Great idea, Lyanna.

I don’t think I’ve mentioned how thrilled I was to hear this next chapter (The SD Story: Live in Maysville!) of the BM saga.

But then, just as saddened that justice for SUZANNE is tied to a ridiculous, idiotic cast of characters.

Thank goodness for the Moormans.

Agree, Suzanne's family show such grace in what's an awful situation for them - jmo

Feels like Suzanne's becoming overshadowed and lost in their antics, but I have to admit, it does provide more points of discussion
I'm disappointed in myself that I think like that

Do love the chipmunk print idea

Maybe they’ve never considered the possibility? I sure have. FBI and Indiana authorities maybe never connected the cases. We really do not know what Barry is capable of. We do know he likes to cover his tracks. We know he is a hunter and a killer. We know he is a tracker and loves the woods. We know he didn’t live far from Delphi. We know he looks like the bridge guy and we know LE hasn’t got a suspect in that case. I just wonder if they have bothered to consider his DNA.

There are already real suspects in that case including one who has been named. There is zero evidence that Barry Morphew is a serial killer…there is only circumstantial evidence he may have killed one person.
