Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #59 *ARREST*

[MrsWatson]

No, I am not suggesting he made it up ... but it may be a unfounded rumour that he has heard. Or a misunderstanding about a situation. I wish that Thomas Owen had a chance to say whatever it was that was making him shake his head.

My impression of Thomas shaking his head was more an expression of digust/dismay at BM's shenanigans.

 

[Seattle1]

I wonder if it is even true ... the guy he is speaking with, stepbrother Thomas Owen, shakes his head (but doesn't get a chance to respond) when that is mentioned. Yet, he nods his head to the things he does agree with. Body language.

It's hearsay -- CM tells Owen he heard it from one of SM's girlfriends (TO shakes his head).

I am unable to access the Indiana court site for some reason. (EU maybe?)

The businesses BM operated in Indiana:
BLM Enterprises
BLM Landscaping
Picea Farms
Pine Lakes
Sunset Tree Farms
U-Scape It
Public Records
This is the link to Indiana's court database.

Maybe someone else will have better luck searching.

Just because it's hearsay doesn't mean it's not true and The Interview Room isn't a court of law.

I believe over their time in Indiana they/or the business owned several properties. Even with an address and additional witnesses it would still be hearsay. Most of what we think we know is hearsay, based on what I've heard about Barry's character, this sounds feasible. We are given a few sources to work with and they for the most part we hope are credible. Chris is only airing what he learned from locals. I take it at face value.

I’d be happy to dig into BM companies and see what I can find and welcome anyone else’s help who may be more proficient at digging. I’ll certainly see what I can find. Thank you for the list to start with.

I expect that those who have been here on the thread the whole time have the same questions, especially the second one…as we all do on every missing spouse or child case on WS that turns out to be murder. I understand your struggle and I think we are fortunate that we can’t fathom any of a murderer’s thinking!

As someone who has been following Suzanne's case from day 1, I have to concur that you are indeed correct. I do think it comes down to this:

She did something that made him mad, he did something he can't take back, then he went on to attempt to cover his tracks, and throw blame around. I have a hunch he regrets what he did, but not enough to stop him from taking tropical vacations and such. He knows there's no going back, so I think he had as much fun as you can, after you kill your spouse of 26 years and spend their inheritance on your skanky new lifestyle. And now he sits in a cage. Where he should be.

[MsBetsy]

And you marked it for me - thank you.

I don't have enough interest in CM's claim to search further, but am curious if there's an public record supporting the claim BM took over the mortgage, then evicted the man. IMO

Barry must have owned the home if he was able to go to court and get the man evicted. Where I live it's not easy to evict someone from a house you own. It takes about three months. Imo

That’s it, in a nutshell.

 

[Melsworld]

Sounds a little like Dexter, the blood spatter analyst on TV. His father realized he had a desire to kill animals as a young child and taught him to use his skills in a more acceptable way.

Wait, what? He skinned a freaking PET? I’m afraid we have no idea how demented BM truly is. My heart just continues to break for all the years spent with him.

 

[MsBetsy]

Yes, apparently he had a pet raccoon and when it died he skinned it for it's pelt. Imo

Hear me out here: I don't actually find this all that disturbing. Sad, yes. Disturbing or meaning he is psychotic? No.

When you grow up on a farm, or in a farming community, you learn not to become too attached to animals, especially those that are useful in some way. For example, I have friends who have "pet" cows, but they know someday they will slaughter those same cows for dinner. It doesn't make them killers. They are saddened by the attachment they have and yet, they understand the necessity of what they will do. We don't know the full situation of the "pet" racoon. He may have kept it with every intention of skinning at some point, thereby keeping it compartmentalized. I don't think that's inherently bad.

I am not saying BM is innocent, but I think since the AA is not released, we are all looking at things that may be benign and trying to find a reason for his behavior. IMO, there is NO reason for his behavior. I think he murdered Suzanne for money, control and power. I don't think there is anything in his past that would have predicted it because I don't think he got to that point until only maybe a year before it happened. Many folks grow up the same way as BM and are harmless. They could never imagine his mindset. And like a previous poster, I think he may even regret his actions at this point, not because he did it, but because he got caught.

30.39 in the video

I haven't watched the whole thing but this really stood out to me:

CM speaking here at 30:20 - i heard he had some accidents too in certain cities and he filed claims and uh et cetera and got cash payouts from municipalities

Notice TO's head nodding in affirmation as CM makes this statement.

After learning about his PPP loan "saving" 9 jobs for $53,745 I found this really interesting. It's beginning to sound like he's somewhat of a con man.

Especially considering his NAICS industry classification for his business Sunset Farms is "All Other Miscellaneous Crop Farming". The description for that is here: https://www.naics.com/naics-code-description/?code=111998

Not landscaping, but crop farming.

So, for purposes of the PPP loan, Barry's company is crop farming, with 9 employees.

Yes, I don’t put much stock in the whole tough Dad, Golden Boy Barry as the reason he became who he is. If that were true, there would be a heck of a lot murdering a-holes all over the planet. Yes there is research that shows animal torture as a predisposition of violence against humans. But I don’t see evidence of Barry doing that. It’s more matter of fact-the pet was no longer, was he evil for taking its pelt? People donate organs in a humanitarian gesture. That’s not odd or evil. I just think Barry was bad because Barry was bad. I don’t think it’s his family’s fault, or that his behaviors outside the home rose to a level that people should have stepped in. Will we find out differently? Maybe.

Yes!^^^

Yes, a pet raccoon. Start at 22:50 mark. Barry trapped and killed a momma raccoon who had a baby with her. BM took the baby home and raised it as a pet. As the raccoon grew older, it became somewhat unruly (wild animal) and BM then killed his “pet raccoon” and skinned it, selling the pelt for $30.00. Why not just release it into the wild? Pretty weird, my opinion
MOO. EBM

Just a quick response because I found the segment where CM talked about the pet raccoon. Barry trapped and killed a momma raccoon who had a baby with her. BM took the baby home and raised it as a pet. As the raccoon grew older, it became somewhat unruly (wild animal) and BM then killed his “pet raccoon” and skinned it, selling the pelt for $30.00. Why not just release it into the wild? You don’t hear of too many who will kill a pet and then skin it. MOO 22:50 mark

Thanks Ms Betsy, I don't know why I am surprised, Chris Watts reminded me that evil can look extremely normal until their true colors surface.

Yes, it's completely callous and disgusting. I'm going to watch this after work so thank you very much.

 

[sunflowerchick]

I see it differently. A raccoon who is raised in captivity likely could not be released into the wild and would die anyway as a result. Also, raccoons are illegal to have as pets in many states. I am sure he was trying to cover his own a$$ but it's not as nefarious as it sounds. Yes, BM is a callous jerk, but I don't think this is the reason.

ETA: I have some experience with raccoons. As babies, they are very sweet and fun to have. As they grow, they become very territorial, displaying irrational and dangerous behavior at times. It can be quite scary. Trust me, I get the outrage here. I am an animal lover too, but I also eat meat and understand using animals for food and pelts.

 

[Error505]

You’re quite welcome. I thought the exact wording of how it was told & the details were important, that’s why I looked for the video about the raccoon. Have a good day at work.
