Still Missing CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee Co, 10 May 2020 *arrest* #98

[Megnut]

Not every aspect of a crime can be determined, especially when the body's been successfully concealed. No matter, the Prosecution doesn't have to have an answer for every detail --

It's the totality of the case --

Imagine if a jury didn't know Barry's occupation or skillset. Just the data bits.

Suzanne was active and alive until Barry came home, and then she wasn’t.

And, Jury, we can't find her.

FYI the defendant is a skilled earth mover...

Even the fact that Suzanne remains missing points to one man and one man only.

Beyond doubt.

SODDI got him out on bail, but SODDI can't save him from LWOP.

Soddi doesn't exist.

Take away Soddi, and all that's left is Barry.

Looks like his tanning bed days are coming to a close. No more warming his cockles and showing off his mussels in Mexico. Just long days under fine, unforgiving fluorescent lights. No hunting but maybe there'll be some rocks to move around in the prison yard.

And for what?

There are no winners.

Interestingly, at Men's Warehouse, he's not parked at the dumpster. He's parked closer to the light pole. It's puzzling because until I put the GPS numbers in I assumed he was parked right next to the dumpster. So WTF he was doing there for 40 minutes?

He did engage his other device.

Maybe he wasn't alone.

And he didn't need the full hour.

Given the location where he parked and the amount of time he spent there, I think it is possible he might have been meeting someone there, perhaps to transfer some things (documents, valuables, evidence that he didn't want to get rid of but also didn't want LE to find - ETA: or that he wanted to plant for LE to find later -, bookkeeping or large amounts of cash that he couldn't easily explain and that he'd prefer LE not see) or to "get their stories straight."

Well, there was some "garbage" he needed to unload . Then, maybe a "CAT nap?" He must have been exhausted by this point. Running on adrenaline too long and crashing. OR, was he doing some rehearsal in his muddled head for later in the day. Getting into "character". The irony. He has no character.

I think by the time he landed at the Warehouse, his brain was mush. What followed supports this. No real alibi, more trash dumps, terrible acting, lies, lies and more lies.

Imagine, if he had had any sense at all, he would have hired IE and DN within the first three days when he realized LE were lookin' directly at him. Nope! His egomaniacal self said, "I've got this!"

BM did not hire the team, as he 'saves money'.
By murdering SM he did not pay for a divorce.
Now where is his 'saved money' going.... down the drain.
HEHE.

I'm confused as to the mentions of Suzanne possibly having a port for her treatments. Wouldn't that have been mentioned early on when she went missing? I've never seen anything that says she had a port, if someone has that information, could you link to it?

It's a nonsensical attempt to explain away the sheath in the dryer.

Barry literally tells us why it was there, with his insane lie about tranquillizing deer the previous month.

So Suzanne accidentally leaves that thing in the dryer the day before Barry admits to throwing away materials that explain why it would be there.

An idiot did laundry that day; someone who has no idea how dryers work.

Gotta check those pockets.

He was "not parking near the dumpster."
I assume after staying up all night he was tired, throwing stuff away in many places and waiting for check in.

He was "not parking near the dumpster."
I assume after staying up all night he was tired, throwing stuff away in many places and waiting for check in.

The pictures from HIE in the People's Exhibits (#28 and #29) show BM carrying two bags (or pillowcases) with items inside and some loose clothing and a pair of boots into the hotel and waiting near the elevator at 8:46AM (the camera's clock showed 7:46 AM, but was an hour off) before emerging from his room at 10:06AM wearing a different shirt and carrying those same two bags, boots and some loose items. And in the AA, Grusing testified that BM had checked in before he carried those items in.

So, BM wasn't waiting to check in as he was parked at Men's Wearhouse as he had already done so.

I find it interesting that all of his documented throwaway locations are in very close proximity to each other. The transit stop (Trash Dump #1 before going to HIE), McDonald's and Men's Wearhouse (Trash Dumps #3 and #4, after spending an hour or so at HIE) are all within 2-3 blocks (probably less than a mile) of each other and the HIE is only about 3 miles away from those. I suppose there could have been more on the trip to Broomfield and LE didn't detect those.

But, if he was dumping at the closed-at-the-time-due-to-Covid Men's Wearhouse, why bother to make that quick stop just about a block away to place things in the trash bin at McDonald's? (That was where he is seen on camera using first one hand and then both to push something down deeper into the bin.). For some reason, he had some small items he wanted to place in that likely heavily used bin at McDonald's, but what?

Also, immediately after the Men's Wearhouse stop, where he spent some time, he made the call to MG - the one about which she described him as sounding like he'd had the worst night of his life. He asked her to ask JP to join them in Broomfield during that call and that was the first either MG or JP was made aware he wanted to add JP. So, did he meet with someone at Men's Wearhouse and as a result of that meeting decide to add JP? Perhaps to implicate JP in some way?

If he's guilty, which I personally have absolutely no doubt about, then it really can't be "an intensely personal image of someone in grief."

It was a transparent act so bizarre that someone felt compelled to capture it.

Oh, I disagree...I think someone who murders their spouse of decades can experience grief especially if it is a rage filled episode and not something contemplated for a long time, but I'm not someone who thinks this was a potential murder that was contemplated and planned long before the moment. I get that you are totally full of conviction and I think you are of great moral support to many.

I'm full of conviction because the evidence is overwhelming. It literally doesn't get much easier as far as guilt goes (not to say that trial will be easy).

Barry tells us he has no guilt over and over, when he references this basically being God's judgement for her having an affair.

He let himself off the hook, and moved on quickly.

"You are Suzanne to me..."

someone speculated that he was likely "rehearsing"....I would agree that would be a reasonable guess. Barry knew that he would be dealing with LE and others as soon as today. He would need to get his game face on....and try to make a realistic impression. I think he was practicing fielding phone calls...what to say to whom...and in what tone and emotion, etc. I think Barry's elevated ego convinced him that he would put on an Oscar-winning performance.

HEHE.

I think Barry felt like he had established comraderie with LE...not unlike the "first responder comraderie" which existed at the firehouse. I think he duped himself into believing that they were on his side...and that is delusional. His sense of betrayal with Grusing reeks of this delusion.

 

[Megnut]

I think, for a reason known only to him, Barry mostly stayed away from the wall. Probably because he was aware of the ordinances.

I don't think he wanted to check in at the hotel at 8. I think he hoped he could slide in the side door, unnoticed.

Much better for his wallibi if he spends the morning at the wall. "Working". Then shows up at the hotel around noon or 1 o'clock, as if for the first time.

I think it's no accident his primary dumpster locations are all near the wall. To go with his story. So he could claim he'd been at the wall. His phone, the truck.

But he couldn't sneak into the hotel. So he was forced IMO to check in. Bet he might even have moved his truck around front.

Bet he never dreamed his beloved truck (and phone) would betray him down to the EXACT parking slip.

Maybe he parked his truck at MW for 40 minutes, but was actually picked up by someone as previously arranged.
IOW, his truck was there, but he wasn’t.

<modsnip: Quoted post was removed>

oops So sorry I must have been! I think this reply was to the question that the if even one juror believed there was a "bike ride" then that would be a problem. I was saying this "bike ride" being the same day she went missing was a big problem because they were looking immediately, the area would still look like there was a wreck or some struggle or something.. the fact it showed zero except her bike that looked more tossed over there and then a helmet nearly a mile away leaves no doubt that she just could not have been riding. Someone would see her, there would be evidence that she was hurt, landed there and got up, the dog should have a good scent and there was just none of that. zero

The telematics have several door openings and closings on his truck while he was parked at MW.

From the AA, page 36:

From 10:47 AM to 11:18 AM, the location of Barry’s phone was in or beside the lot of Men’s Wearhouse, 160 E Flatiron Crossing Drive, Broomfield, CO. From 10:50 AM to 11:17 AM, the driver and passenger doors of the F-350 were opened and closed at least seven times in the parking lot near Men’s Wearhouse, 160 E Flatiron Crossing Dr, Broomfield.​

1. Totally agree. Barry has not displayed one second of grief about Suzanne the whole time she has been missing ;from when he first arrived and asked about the mountain lion to his jaunty entrances to court.

   Does a grieving spouse sell the other’s car shortly after they go “missing”? Does a grieving spouse seek financial guardianship of the “missing” spouse soon after their “disappearance”? Everyone, as well as a jury, knows this behavior is inconsistent with a grieving spouse.

Does he put the moves on a married woman?

Does he immediately assume that she's dead, mauled by a mountain Lion?

Does he quickly take up with another woman, spending nights at her house and going on a romantic getaway?

 

[Scootie98]

Barry "dithered" for several hours on Saturday, after ending work early to "make the wife happy"....and again on Sunday...he"dithered" in the hotel room for several hours when he claimed he was working. Barry is selling the idea that he had to be in Broomfield early to get a job ready....but sat in a store parking lot for 40 minutes, and in a hotel room for several hours....on Mother's Day. And, we are to believe that he loved his wife so much, that he left the house hearing her snore lightly, on Mother's Day....and it never occurred to him to kiss her on the cheek and say "Happy Mother's Day" on his way out. Sitting in the hotel room for hours was more important than being with his wife on that special day, especially with the daughters not there with her? Barry is trying to sell himself as a jerk, not a killer. Truth is......he's both.

Thank you, I had quite forgotten all that activity.

I would be willing to go as far as this possibly being a "dear God what have I done?" moment.
Although, I also suspect it was also a handy moment in time to do that, when someone could see him, and take a pic.
