[Love Never Fails]

To the murderers out there, do not fret if you leave behind a mountain of circumstantial evidence during/after the commission of a felony. As long as you leave your cellphone at home and drive an old car, you are golden.

Thank you. What a funny reply. I love it.

 

[Love Never Fails]

It's possible. Maybe he didn't forgot to remove her port, he just assumed her body would never be found. I hope that's the case.

"Morgan stated she commented pigs could eat an entire human body in two hours. Barry commented that he would be able to “bury a body” and it “would never be found.”
[AA page 50]

Well Barry, you failed.

 

[Love Never Fails]

It’s just “too soon” to respond to finding the body of the love of his life! /s
MOO

Ewww where have we heard that before, hmm?

 

[Teche]

Yes, there was a “go gimme fund“ set up to help with search expenses, etc immediately after Suzanne went missing. TN first published it to Facebook. All of that has been deleted now, but I remember it well! There was quite a large sum collected, over $30k. SM’s brother, Andy had hoped some would be donated to help his large search but no money came from the fund or BM for that massive search.
I don't know if anyone else remembers, but BM said he gave his 400 Iraqi tours bff, GD, $4000 for helping him search. GD had to take off work etc.

On a different note, remember BM saying he had $70,000 cash in his safe and it went missing, basically accusing SM of stealing it to run away!? I don’t know if he thought that or thought LE “stole“ it! Lol. Maybe BM needed to give GD $70,000 for staying at his home when Suzanne first went missing. hmmm. Who knows?
all my .02 and MOO.

I wish Susanne had taken the money and run off with her boyfriend.

<modsnip: Quoted post was removed>

I am trying to stay hopeful that some remains remained in the grave, thereby keeping significant evidence contained.

JMO

I am still thinking the shallow grave was discovered by drones as the other search for Edna was going on. I’m hopeful there was clothing or some type of fabric that maybe caught the attention of searchers. Hoping if that’s the case, it will hold clues and ties to Suzannes’s murderer. It would not surprise me if she were dressed in biking clothing when found. Would also make more sense how her port was still there. Weigh in with your thoughts, it’ll be months before we hear anything. MOO

Can you say why that information in your first paragraph is important and how you know it? I think they tossed out fantasies to each other, which is a far cry from planning. I do not see that Suzanne was "planning" to leave and go to Ecuador. I assume she was thinking about the future, when there was an empty nest (for both of them?) The way you characterize her thinking is odd to me, I don't think most mothers who leave abusive, controlling relationships are so flippant.

Are you saying that Barry only LOOKS guilty? Can you say why you view it that way?

There should be no world in which a husband makes the decision for his wife's departure - wives should get to make that decision all on their own. The fact that Suzanne was acting outside of what Barry was "letting her" do seems to presume that she needed his permission to leave.

She didn't and doesn't. Not for a long time, in the US.

And he obviously doesn't get a pass on killing her, if he did. She can leave without his permission and he ought not to take vengeance. Thinking in terms of what Barry might "let" Suzanne do is falling into his trap of control (he wanted to ban her from using cannabis for her chemotherapy nausea!!!) Clearly, Barry was so controlling that he couldn't "let" Suzanne do anything unapproved - and when he found out she was thinking about leaving, he took away (forever) her rights - even the right to live. Many of us have lived with a man like this (who thinks we need his permission for major life choices). It's very scary. Poor Suzanne was inching her way to what she hoped would be an amicable divorce, not knowing that her husband many years saw it, apparently, as an issue that only he could decide.

IMO.

I thought they were being sarcastic! lol

I would just love for his daughters to turn against him, that is to at least see him for what he really is, and tell LE everything they may know. If that happens, what would probably hurt BM the most would not be losing their trust/love/loyalty, but losing his power over them. Not being their adored and all-knowing daddy any longer.

The talk about BM having the youngest daughter's phone while she was away....has me thinking a bit differently about them.
Anyone know the source of that info? (please and thank you)

No doubt if that story is true...she had a secret phone...and just appeased him.
Why would he want or need it?
No talk of his own phone being broken??

Entrapment could be his only vice.

 

[k-mac]

Even if Suzanne's grave was dug to 3 feet deep, by the time she was placed in it, and covered with some soil, wouldn't it then be a 2 feet grave?

IMO if SM was nude and missing all her jewellery (earrings rings necklaces etc ) he put her in a shallow grave to let nature do its work.

If she was clothed and/or jewellery in place, shallow = panicked rushing spontaneous disposal.

moo

I wish Susanne had taken the money and run off with her boyfriend.

Suzanne’s bf was NEVER going to leave his wife and children. I wish she had just left, period! She underestimated how dangerous, cruel and vile BM was. She “didn’t feel safe” when with him, but little did she know he’d kill her. Barry was never going to part with 50% of his money & property, not to mention the huge blow to his ego! JL was a cad using Suzanne for a good time. Those men are a dime a dozen. But his attention to Suzanne at least got her out of her shell she crawled into because of Barry. JL got her to realize she could move on, be excited by someone else. I hate it ended too soon for her. Poor, darling, trusting Suzanne. broken hearted for her.
edit by me MOO

Unfortunately for him, BK didn't get it quite right.

 

[SleuthBee]

PS, this may already be happening, I sure hope so. Justice for Suzanne needs all the help it can get.

IMO, they might open their eyes after adding up all of the money BM stole from them. IIRC, BM asked SM's father to sign a document (?) allowing him to sell the Indiana house without her signature. Her father refused, but then the oldest daughter signed it. The Slayer laws may have protected SM's assets from falling into BM's hands, but he quickly liquidated everything before formally charged with her murder.

IIRC, SM went missing right before her father passed. He kept BM from getting SM's money by disinheriting her. The girls would have received that money as well.

Yep, BM is quite the slime ball.

 

[SleuthBee]

@Procrastinator thsnk you for the question, but we can’t really sleuth GD since he’s not a been charged with a crime. There are ways to search for property owned in most states. MOO

@Procrastinator and @Error505 ... I pray to God Almighty that someone from LE follows all of your posts from today. I was blown away! Suzanne was a beautiful woman and she did NOT deserve what BM did to her. Your efforts are appreciated

And if Suzanne, who knew BM better than anyone else, didn't imagine he would kill her, then I suppose everyone else in the family finds it impossible to believe.

Discovery of Suzanne Morphew's remains could alter the course of long-stalled investigation

[…]

Ryan Brackley, a longtime prosecutor who has been a criminal defense attorney since 2019, said he believes the investigation should be treated like a cold case – and be put in new hands.

“You always want fresh eyes,” he said. “You always want new ideas, new people looking at these cases. Ideally, in a cold case, you are building off the work by prior investigators. You're building off the narrative and the theory.”

“I don't think that it makes a lot of sense in the Morphew case, given the history.”

It’s a history that has been fraught with controversy since Suzanne, 49, was reported missing on May 10, 2020.

Discovery of Suzanne Morphew's remains could alter the course of long-stalled investigation

Suzanne Morphew's husband, Barry, was arrested and charged in her 2021 disappearance, but the case was later dropped.

www.9news.com

Brackley May be right about new eyes on the case. But when he states LS clearly didn’t have the evidence to charge BM and put him in jail I would just say please people! Read the entire AA. Don’t make guesses and assumptions because you are an attorney and don’t know the case history. So irritating.

I believe Love Never Fails meant Brackley may be right . . . Not that may was the attorney’s last name.

Do you know that Mr. May did not read the AA?

Why do people just assume someone is not familar with the case simply because they have a different take?

Mr. May has actually prosecuted cases in Colorado. The AA in this case has been questioned for its lenght and use of potentially non-admissible evidence by various professionals, includeing ex-LE and attorneys. The judge bound the case over for trial, but with bail to the defendant. That alone shows the court did not view this as a slam dunk.

Murder cases like this (spouse accussed) are not often dismissed by the State on the eve of trial.

Now, the only thing the State would need to re-file is digital data tying BM to the site where SM was discovered. LE already has all the digital data they would need to perform this analysis. If BM was involved, it seems that his digital data would led to the discovery of the body at some point. That does not appear to be the case in this matter.

Mr. Brackley. Not Mr. May.

Unless I totally missed something.

I believe any discussion about leaving together for Ecuador was just ... fantasy as lovers do. I don't think JL planned to ever leave his wife and children either, AND I don't think Suzanne wanted him to. IIRC, she was going to leave BM and not contact JL for a while.

I disagree that JL was a cad using Suzanne for a good time. Could be that she was using him or they were using each other They knew each other way back, she trusted him and they were also friends. I believe he helped her realize her worth and probably validated a lot of her feelings regarding BM's treatment of her.

I can give you the background of the BM-- employer, and MG--independent contractor, from the AA but once the witness's name was out and MG agreed to interviews, it's more difficult to fill in the blanks with outside interviews.

From the AA: BM identified MG as his primary contractor. MG states that he talked to her about his daughters so it follows she would recognize the daughter's phone paired to BM's truck on Saturday morning when he collected her for work from the Fitness Center. I recall MG asked BM about why he had MM2's phone and he responded he had the phone because she was camping. MOO

RIP sweet Suzanne and know many people are praying for Barry to be brought to justice.

Seattle your such a treasure thank you xx

Sounds HARD controlling doesn't it??

Why would a 16 year old give her dad her phone while she went camping.

Nope...no way...nadda.

Even IF no phone service ...we gotta loooooooooooot of selfies to take.
Music to listen to....
Games to play.....
Alarm clock and time
and the off chance of some spot service.


come on now Barry. BIG LIE.

She got another phone FYI Bazza.

eta I reckon he spied on all of them.
I have 3 adult kids....and have never discussed with them or with anyone else their sexual experiences. It is none of my business.
