Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #67 *ARREST*

[Jazz38]

Who sent him the link?? Someone who knew about their affair?

Or their mutual high school friend

 

[steeltowngirl]

A lot to unpack today. Faced with cancer and her own mortality, Suzanne was choosing a different path for herself. It cost her her life.

 

[Love Never Fails]

I have mixed feelings about the affair partner. She's missing for months and not coming forward with information tells me a lot about persons character. Poor Suzanne - she deserved a stand up guy, not sure she understood that. Sad on many levels.

Yeah, she was lonely and he was interested. He sounds a bit like BM. Poor character. As long as he didn’t have to get “involved” right?

WEEK MAY 5-10 is where Suzanne and Barry Morphew were alone. Suzanne dropped Macy off in Gunnison with her sister Mallory for their road trip.

1:21 PM · Aug 9, 2021

That ride home must have been terrifying for Suzanne... especially if this is the first time they were truly truly alone in the house for an extended period. Poor Suzanne.

 

[charminglane]

Maybe Barry opened the door on the passenger side of the truck to load Suzanne into the cab?
Then went to driver side and opened the door.
I don't think we can assume that Suzanne walked to the truck of her own free will.

 

[Warwick7]

I think it means that he pulled his daughter into an argument between he and Suzanne, and then walked away or left the house.

Gaslighting at its finest!

Regarding Suzanne 's affair: Suzanne is not on trial here. Her husband is on trial for her murder. This character assassination of Suzanne is inappropriate. JMO.

BAM!!!

 

[Jazz38]

That's the time of when the passenger door in Barry's truck opened, simultaneously with the driver's drive opening (or nearly so),

So just half an hour after her last talk with Jeff, she's in the truck with Barry...and that's the last time there's any trail of her. So "last communication" and "last trace."

So more likely Barry walked in while the last message was typed ..

 

[girlhasnoname]

Is Jeff considered to be a victim? Or are we allowed to sleuth him?

No we cannot sleuth anyone who is not a POI

 

[Tiff23fr]

Mods said no sleuthing IIRC

Mod Response:
This is correct. Information stated in the hearings or relayed via approved media sources can be discussed. Sleuthing added personal details of someone who is not named a POI in a case is against TOS.

 

[HistoryNut]

He was married
His wife didn't know about the affair
He was a coward

I’m sorry, but what a loser. What kind of a person does that? He even deleted his LinkedIn account to hide his association with her.

 

[SteelCity91]

Yay to Holly, the red head that the DM showed photos of, working with the FBI! I guess the Morphews are deleting her from their FB friends.

You beat me too it

 

[EggSalad]

Is there a distinction between 1. No blood found in the house and 2. Luminol or other methods turned up the prior presence of blood or dna? Which had previously been ‘cleaned up’

 

[10ofRods]

Moo wasn't the truck door 3:26am on 5/10?

That was mentioned. But the mention of both the driver's side and the passenger's side both opening was on May 9, IIRC. I think they also mentioned the time the door opened when he left the worksite. Obviously, they have way more times.

So we had two times where the truck door was important - and then the mention of 8 am on Sunday morning as well.

 

[AmandaReckonwith]

Libler is no victim. He is low-down, not too much better than BM, IMO.

 

[indicolite22]

Do we know whether this Jeff was married during this time, or was he a single guy?

Not officially, AFAIK. We can't post info from SM.

 

[marylamby]

Yeah, she was lonely and he was interested. He sounds a bit like BM. Poor character. As long as he didn’t have to get “involved” right?

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion just yet.

 

[lonetraveler]

Threatening suicide if one leaves is also control.

Yep, that's what kept me from leaving my first husband for years.

 

[Lilypad13]

I think Suzanne was conflicted, just like many of us in our lives. Not everything is clear-cut when someone is gaslighting you 24/7 for years on end. Mentally you would become fragile, I would imagine.

This! ^^^ Yes you would. And living this conflicted life for years it then becomes your new normal. IMO

 

[Scootie98]

Yeah, it would help if we knew those times were the only times the door opened or closed or if that's just what was the most significant to LE. It would also help if we knew the trucks location when the door was opened. Maybe it was at a specific location for 30 or 40 minutes and that's why they noted the times. Imo

My inner redneck is coming out here.....because rednecks can work around technology, no matter how sophisticated it is....Does the vehicle monitoring system know when windows are opened and closed? If not...maybe Barry climbed in and out of the window...knowing full well that technology is tracking him opening and closing his vehicle doors?

 

[TKG]

Am I alone in being highly frustrated that someone she was close with, both emotionally and physically, would not come forward? How unbelievably selfish. You think it has a negative impact on your family so you try and erase it? Your actions and cowardly behavior have a negative impact. How could you say you care and then try and disappear the relationship? He is not a POI but certainly a key player in this puzzle. I'm sure his family finding out he tried to erase it all and pretend it never happened instead of accepting responsibility and coming forward to help is worse.

People make mistakes.

This is egregious to me. In the end, this will cost him far more than if he had come forward to help.

Of course MOO and IMO
