The People’s Exhibits – Find Suzanne Morphew
Now updated with PH day 1 & 2 info where introduced. Texts and Broomfield.
One point which stands out is that Suzanne reached out to JL 5 months after the family relocated to Colorado. That is a very short time frame when you consider the time it takes just to adjust to a new environment, neighbors, community, doctors etc....The state of that marriage must have been approaching critical mass even before the move started. We focus on the condition of this marriage toward the end...but the condition of things shortly after the move must have been deteriorating at breakneck speed...given the course of events.
 
Anyone know "what" happened to the felony forgery of public records (voter fraud) charges?

Chaffee County #D82021CR85

Last time I saw anything was a status hearing that was supposed to held in Chaffee County at the same time of a hearing in Fremont County. - if my brain cells are correct - it could have been the 2/10 hear -
They seemed to have "disappeared" from Chaffee county court site & not on Fremont County. ??

TIA! :)
This case is presumably staying in Chaffee County and presumably will be addressed after the murder trial is completed. The illegal weapon charge is also severed from the murder trial and quite possibly return to Chaffee county. I am for now assuming that the paperwork will be cleaned up at some point after trial. If he's found guilty prosecution "could" decide to just drop these two charges and save time and taxpayer dollars since he'll be in prison on the much more serious murder charge.
 
Yes it’s been said that SM had recently started trying IPA’s ( India Pale Ale).
Craft beer is huge in Colorado and so many varieties that microbreweries have tastings much like vineyards do,
The first microbrewery in Denver was started by our former Governor in 1988. He is also a former Mayor of Denver and is now currently a Senator.
As of January 1, 2019 we can now buy full strength beer at our grocery store ( before that it was only 3.2 beer).
Nothing better than a Rocky Mountain High, IMO

How John Hickenlooper Made Denver History - Denver Microbrew Tour
Thank you @Cindizzi, good to know. :)
My Husband loves IPA craft beer and visiting different breweries. The New England area where we live has some really good ones too including tastings, tours, etc. We haven’t had a chance to visit beautiful Colorado yet but plan to in the near future, and my DH will surely enjoy visiting some of the breweries out there.

BBM above.
Made me think of the great JD classic, RMH.
I think we should add to the case music library:

Thank you for that info! I'll will correct my notes! :)
 
I agree that SM probably encouraged or supported the girls going camping. I don’t think she or BM planned the trip however.

I think she was ready to finally make it clear to BM that she was taking steps to leave him ( her text saying I’m done was sent right after the girls left town). I think she wanted to spare the girls from any drama that BM would try to involve them in.

From looking at her texts , it seems she knew she wouldn’t feel safe alone with him AFTER the younger one had moved out and left home. But unfortunately she must have thought she would be safe with MM2 just being gone for a few days.
Hope that makes sense.
Just my rambling thoughts.

I agree, @Cindizzi. I’m thinking MM1 and her bff planned the trip as a getaway for end of term. In the meantime, things were coming to a head between SM and BM. She was “done” and wanted to end things “civilly”. She may have asked MM1 if MM2 could tag along so she could have it out with BM. She hated it when BM would drag the girls into their arguments.
MM2 was very much aware of the collapsing marriage and weary of the tension in the home. She offered to move into town with her mother and told her to consider a restraining order. She told her boyfriend on MD that when she couldn’t reach her Mom, she was afraid that SM and BM had gotten into a huge fight. I think things between SM and BM had gotten considerably worse since MM1 had gone off to college. I think MM2 was much more privy to what had been going on in the final months leading up to SM’s disappearance.
If feel very sorry for her. She is in a horrible position right now.
 
This case is presumably staying in Chaffee County and presumably will be addressed after the murder trial is completed. The illegal weapon charge is also severed from the murder trial and quite possibly return to Chaffee county. I am for now assuming that the paperwork will be cleaned up at some point after trial. If he's found guilty prosecution "could" decide to just drop these two charges and save time and taxpayer dollars since he'll be in prison on the much more serious murder charge.
Me, myself and I, are hoping these charges are not dropped merely for convenience or saving a few shekels. No, no, I want to see 156 years + 5 years parole. Patrick Frazee needs some company. At least for awhile. Barry won’t outlive PF. Both should come out in a pine box. If CO wanted to “save time and taxpayer dollars” they shouldn’t have eliminated the DP.
 
Thank you @Cindizzi, good to know. :)
My Husband loves IPA craft beer and visiting different breweries. The New England area where we live has some really good ones too including tastings, tours, etc. We haven’t had a chance to visit beautiful Colorado yet but plan to in the near future, and my DH will surely enjoy visiting some of the breweries out there.

Made me think of the great JD classic, RMH.
I think we should add to the case music library:

Thanks for that! One of my all-time favourites. ❤️

I have always wondered why MM2 would think that her parents having a fight would keep her mom from responding to her texts or calls. I’m sure Suzanne had always put on a brave face for her daughters and tried to minimize their worry.

Totally agree.
 
MM1 essentially never moved to PP. She had a room there, but she was already out of the house when the family moved to CO. Did she come home on weekends, or for the summer?

As to motive, I have absolutely no idea what the trigger was. It could have been Barry seeing that Suzanne was actually leaving, it could have been money, could have been Barry seeing Suzanne video chatting with a man, rage, the list goes on. I am of the belief that Suzanne deferred to Barry-she may have fought with him, but he was used to ultimately getting his way. I think that there was a power shift occurring and he was not having it.

The trigger and the motive aren't necessarily the same thing. The motive was money. Based on his movements and actions, Barry had been aware of Suzanne's paramour for at least six months (IMO, he knew pretty much immediately when you consider that they connected around the holidays 2018 and in January 2019 Barry takes her phone in Mexico.).

The trigger was Suzanne's determination to leave.

Supposing the girls camping trip was just a fluke.

Supposing Suzanne builds up a good head of steam on the drive home from Gunnison. And when they both get home for the day, she drops the hammer. Probably a pretty nasty blow out based on Suzanne's surviving message to him in the morning:

”I’m done. I could care less what you’re up to and have been for years. We just need to figure this out civilly.”

I've looked at this text and looked at it. "I'm done," has a lot of implications. Done fighting, done with the marriage, done with his crap. Which seems to be reinforced by her next sentence. "I could care less what you’re up to and have been for years." I don't think this is about his cheating. I think it's about the money.

Later in the day he sends her:

I’m sorry if things went the way they did. I have a problem dealing with the way you accused me of hiding checks. If you think I’m as terrible of a person to hide our accounts and have ones you don’t know about you don’t know me. All I do is for you and the girls. All. When I’m dead, which won’t be long, you guys will be taken care of. Please stop being angry. If I can control my hurt heart I think I can overcome your distant unlovingness toward me. Honey, I swear it’s the hardest thing I’ve had to do. I love you I always will.”

Love bombing didn't work, manipulation didn't work, and she was pissed about the money and whatever he said or did on the 5th made it worse.

So Barry makes his decision and he's got to get it done before the girls get home. I think if we knew more of Barry's movements on the 6th & 7th we'd have a better idea where Suzanne is now.

MOO.
 
Spotted hanging out near Salida today:

Mountain lion trees in Salida

Well, that's it. DNA testing motions incoming from BM's elite squadron of defence lawyers.

Imagine the subsequent deposition:

TBM: I put it to you, Mrs Fluffy, that you were hunting bull elk out of season in the vicinity of Puma Path --

ML: Murp.

TBM: "...and, further, that you both plucked the dear beloved of BM from a mountain bike, then flung that bicycle some distance in order to obscure your involvement, subsequently hid various items of your victim's clothing, equipment and belongings and only then performed a mechanical thingie to a stolen BobCat in order to more completely hide the traces of your evil act. What say you, Mrs Fluffy?

ML: Murp. Grrll.

TBM: ... and then, in act of extraordinary cruelty and cynicism, consumed a pair of invisible steaks on a single plate, before proceeding to begin what amounts to a dastardly and carefully-planned and executed attempt to frame the defendant, Saint Barry M, for the murder of his wife, to whom he was always a perfect husband, even after her passing, going to remarkable lengths to preserve her legacy and even cast a vote for her in memorium. Yes, or no, Mrs Fluffy?

ML: Murp. Grrll. Zzzzzzzzzz....

I know what you mean. Some of them are cesspools and I understand why they don’t have credibility. However, I have found that as a true crime sleuther, it helps to be a part of the communities that gather on other forums in order to grab as many details as possible surrounding a case. It helps to paint a broader picture of events, and of the players involved, since not everyone is going to be socializing on the same network.

I know of a handful of other sleuthers that comment here that also make the rounds in other groups. It’s part of the process. I can really appreciate however that the Websleuth community tries to keep the information on any case as factual and controlled as possible to avoid tainting or skewing the truth.

With all the personal notes I’ve gathered in this case, it’s best to sit on my opinions about certain aspects until they are disclosed in court or at trial. I can’t wait to discuss matters further after it is permitted. ;)
Thanks I agree I would find out a lot. But I even have to hold my tongue here. Lol. I think what I’m saying is within TOS but sometimes I interpret things wrong. Would love to know where I could find out more. :D

Mrs. Fluffy will consent to a polygraph with her attorney present. She has nothing to hide.
 
Anyone know "what" happened to the felony forgery of public records (voter fraud) charges?

Chaffee County #D82021CR85

Last time I saw anything was a status hearing that was supposed to held in Chaffee County at the same time of a hearing in Fremont County. - if my brain cells are correct - it could have been the 2/10 hear -
They seemed to have "disappeared" from Chaffee county court site & not on Fremont County. ??

TIA! :)
I don't think there's anything unusual about not finding Case #D82021CR85 on the Chaffee County Docket at this time.

By Court Order [D-34] DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO CHANGE VENUE filed January 31, 2021, we know the last hearing held in Chaffee County for Case #2021CR78 was Tuesday, Feb 1, 2022. (now as case #D222022CR47 Fremont County Division 1).

Given that BM's forgery/voter fraud hearings were typically held on the same date as the murder hearings (for the convenience of the attorneys and the court), I think it's safe to assume any Chaffee County hearings on the forgery/voter fraud scheduled after Feb 1, 2022, have been continued. Also, take note that any action by the state to drop the charges won't happen in a vacuum but will be done by Motion, Answer, and Court Order --that will eventually be made available to the public. :)
 
Oh damnit, I have to quote myself because I was unclear and I'll clarify within my comment....

"I'm not so sure about M1 but even if M2 were to 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]

ETA: @Love Never Fails
YES, and thank you. I saw myself how confusing it sounded. I was first speaking of M1 and then quickly switched to M2 without clarity. Sorry, can't respond on the old thread. :)
No problem. I just wanted to sure in my own mind.
 
We have seen the searches for cute girls and hand jobs. If they have proof he was on Ashley Madison or any other similar websites that is not necessarily proof of an affair but certainly indicates that he was on the prowl. Much like a cat when hunting lol
Not only that, but they classified Suzanne’s as an affair because it was a period of time and apparently an affair of the heart which proved she was over Barry. Hid one night stands are worse. Checking for people on the internet, all the lying, hiding money, shady deals, oh and no telling how many diseases he would bring home to his family. Reminds me of a dog in heat. Sickening.

ETA: except I have respect for the dog.
 
Yet another carryover. I really need to take notice of page nos getting close to 50!

[@LandManatee said:
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]

[@Momofthreeboys said:
How would that fit with the prosecution case? I an understand why they were searching to see if he had a current affair going on because that would go to motive but I'm seriously not sure how hooking up for a one night stand if it's even true fits with the case. Prosecution has tons of first hand factual information that the marriage was failing and Suzanne wanted out. Not sure how anything else would fit the case. My guess is we won't see those claimants on the witness stand. They got interviewed probably as it looks like prosecution did follow through on many, many tips.]

@Momofthreeboys
What makes you think any of Barry's hookups were simply 'one night stands'? Maybe one of them (or more) turned into a long term affair? Maybe his current girlfriend was one of them. A replacement who might fit the "You are Suzanne to me" requirements. I'm seriously sure this is very important.
How many husbands murdered their wives to make way for "the other woman" and would not only NOT have to split assets but make a sweet bundle while he was at it?

IMO
Regardless, he is a terrible human being. A liar. A murderer.
