Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #58 *ARREST*

Snipped from article at link above and BBM:

“From an outsider's perspective they had a great relationship, that's why it caught everybody by surprise," he said.
"They weren't the couple that I would worry about. I mean, it wasn't like the police got called on him for domestic or anything like that."

*Said the pal, acquaintance, friend, of just about every evil Wife Killer featured on Dateline, 48 hours, 20/20, etc.

Isn’t that what everyone said about Chris Watts and Shannan as well? We know how that turned out

 

[MsBetsy]

I am also wondering if he tried to call Suzanne after the girls called him. Like if he even tried. I mean, if your child called you and said “hey, I can’t get hold of mom”, wouldn’t you try calling her yourself? I’m sure he did try. Right?! He wasn’t THAT dumb.

So where was her phone? With him? Probably with her body. But then the last ping would have been at the location of her body, leading to recovery. He had to have destroyed her phone.

Can’t wait to learn the location of the last ping of her phone. It should have pinged at home and been found, or been at the location of the bike. If she were abducted, the phone would have pinged from a moving vehicle. The only plausible defense would be abductors destroyed her phone at the scene of “bike ride.”

He did say he called or texted to wish her a happy mother's day and she didn't reply. He also said he left a message on her voicemail. I hope we get to hear it one day.

I wonder if anyone would know if the police were ever called 'for domestic'. Other than the police.
It is not a thing that either Suzanne or the guy she was married to would go around telling people. He, due to guilt/shame/pride/whatever. She, because she didn't leave him right then.

(Sorry, I struggle to say his name. Wife murderers disgust me.)

Probably someone who claims to be a friend to be paid by the Sun. People don’t always know the dark side of what goes on behind closed doors in a couples marriage.

Exactly, I agree. Also too, some people think DV is just about physical abuse.
As we know, it’s much broader and can be anything from and including physical, verbal, sexual, emotional, psychological, etc. abuse. Sometimes physical violence is present with all other forms of abuse, sometimes not.
While there’s always a possibility BM was physically abusive with SM behind closed doors, (I picture pushing, shoving if it were present), my opinion of BM is that he is a narcissistic bully, all about power and covert, coercive control etc.
If any DV calls were ever made to PD though, I’m sure we’ll hear about it at trial, if he doesn’t confess 1st, which I’m not holding my breath for.
I cannot picture BM confessing. I picture him not “giving in”, will fight till the bitter end claiming his innocence. My hope is that he’d cop a plea in exchange for giving up Suzanne’s remains location to give their daughter’s and the Moorman family some sense of peace.
But I think in his mind that’d be confessing and I think he’s too da*n proud. Hope I’m wrong and he gets stricken with a moment of consciousness, but...
He reminds me of evil, narcissistic creep Fotis Duslo, who ended up taking the coward’s way out rather than be accountable to his beautiful wife Jennifer’s murder. I don’t think BM would go to the extreme FD did, but I guess yah just never know.
Hopefully BM doesn’t ever get out on bond.

It’s ok @SouthAussie, I don’t like to say his name too much either.
His initials- BM, suit him for sure lol.

It never ceases to amaze me that we "normal thinking" folks assume that nobody that we know would be capable of horrendous crimes.

To me, Chris Watts hid it well. I mean, he killed his entire family for a woman that he dated for a mere six weeks. I also think that money played into the family annihilation. He didn't want to pay child support for three children as well as possible alimony.

I believe that Barry exhibited obnoxious, controlling behavior for years. We all have read that the most dangerous time for a woman is when she is about to leave that type of spouse. I believe that this was a major contributor to Suzanne's demise (along with his keeping all of their assets).

JMO.

Not only the location of the phone would be telling but the time of the last ping too. Because if the last ping is on the (fake) bicycle route, it better be when there was already light outside and when BM was undeniably somewhere else far away already.

 

[tmar]

“Killer’s” pal says the case is tainted and he wishes someone would put out the facts. Ask your friend Barry for the facts!

Yes, BM will provide numerous facts, BUT they continually change.

 

[MrsWatson]

The DA has a whole stack of facts she's going to put out.

Perhaps BM gave the phone disappearance, some thought (premeditation).
Wonder what he came up with?
We will soon know, about an idiot's 'good tactics'.
We will laugh, when the numerous flaws in BM's master plan are revealed.
HeeHee.

I am a bit concerned that their dodgy (home) phone reception is going to paint an unclear picture of where the phones were and when they pinged at that location.

And, at the very least, the dodgy phone reception will be used as an excuse for pings not happening (if the phones were disabled by perhaps removing the battery).

 

[tmar]

This is just my opinion based on things we've learned thus far.

I think we'll find the text message to Melinda redacted from the AA as it would be inflammatory to the potential jury pool.

Suzanne's step brother stated that his father, who was a doctor, told him Suzanne surviving cancer the first time round was a "miracle." I feel when Suzanne was able to have babies that each one was considered a miracle. It's a given fact that women stay in marriages often because of their children. We want our children to benefit from parenting by both a mother and a father so the motivation to remain married becomes paramount.

Considering the type of work Barry did in the Salida area, he likely came home at odd hours unannounced. Sometimes it'd be an hour after leaving or in the middle of the afternoon. You know, just to keep her on her toes.

The absolute control of finances is disturbing. It's possible he gave her a monthly allowance just as my X did. Suzanne allegedly placed her inheritance into the PP home. I feel the PP home was possibly purchased to resell at a profit and not as a permanent residence. In this way, Barry made it appealing as an investment of her hefty available funds.

Suzanne was a bright and intelligent young mother but she knew she could be in danger when Barry showed up in FL during her trip with girlfriends. The unexpected appearance likely filled her with fear and not joy. She knew she could be in danger when she saw Barry playing with his weapons, be it sharp knives, guns, rifles or bow and arrows. I think she walked on eggshells for a long time.

By example, the PTSD Specialist that I saw after leaving the long term marriage, told me it takes one hundred kind things spoken or done in order to erase one bad thing said or done. When I recounted the terrifying story of my husband phoning home late one evening while he was out of town to tell me he was holding the Glock to his head, I could not tell him not to do that. To which, the Dr said, my then husband probably knew before I did that I was leaving him.

It could be that Suzanne never told BM she wanted to leave but he knew her so well that he sensed it, maybe before she knew it herself causing him to escalate his fatal plans for her demise.
.

DeeDee, so sad to hear , what you experienced.
Hope, your life now, has dramatically improved.

Folk here, can possibly see SM's life with this ugly controlling idiot.
I hope statements from friends, neighbours, text messages will be produced as BM's accounts will just follow the many lies we already have heard.

 

[NWLady]

Is it just my imagination or over-thinking of things possibly, that very shortly after a perp is arrested that you suddenly have the feeling of other people looking around here and there for information that may benefit the defense? Ya know what I mean?

I appreciate your post and the various types/aspects of abuse... I just want to add to that: financial abuse. One such thing I hadn’t even known was considered abuse for a long time. That could certainly play a role in all of this because iirc, BM handled all the money/bills?

sorry if it sounds like I’m picking at your comment—I’m not, I just wanted to point the financial abuse aspect. I do wonder if we’ll see any inkling of that in the AA. Or maybe it wouldn’t be relevant until later on.

also, totally agree with your comments on FD. That’s local to me and is so frustrating. I am so hoping that BM continues to be held with no bond. I thought a few threads ago someone posted Colorado statutes that outlines bail/bond amounts for each type of crime, and Murder 1 was a no bond charge? However, I vaguely remember googling about it and seeing a somewhat recent case where a father was charged with Murder 1 of his son, and was later released on a 50k bond. Perhaps because the circumstances were wildly different, but murder 1 is still murder 1...

Edited for spelling errors

I think it is always wise to look at all sides of the picture. Because that is what is going to happen in court. If you are referring to people here looking at tactics the defense might use.

Justice for Suzanne is important. And the defense will likely do the best job they can to get him off, or get his sentence reduced.

Is this really a pal or a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend? Hmmm

That could be said of many people who popped on the scene claiming to be a friend and claiming all sorts of things.

No worries @LaineyJ, I don’t think you’re picking at my comment at all. Good point about financial abuse, which most definitely could’ve been a factor here as well. Anything’s possible. The link below describes financial/economic abuse in more detail in case anyone’s interested:

NEW article..
'Killer' Barry Morphew's pal claims he 'would know where to hide a body'

That interview - wow. That guy seems every bit as out of touch with reality as Barry is.

 

[BuckeyeGal]

In the article posted above, BM's pal said "I'm honestly shocked that they charged him with murder because you have to be missing for a year to be declared dead, so they didn't have a death certificate when they arrested him."

What in the world is this person smoking? Is this a way of saying "no body/no crime"?
