Found Deceased CO - Suzanne Morphew, 49, Chaffee County, 10 May 2020 #68 *ARREST*

[StarrDetective]

or a smoking gun? - though personally, I think if SM is deceased, the m.o.d was strangulation.

I really wish the spy pen picked up the actual murder itself.

The defence didn't need to, did they? The Prosecution revealed the information.

Yes of course. But the defence took it and ran in my opinion

 

[girlhasnoname]

But, you don't know that. I think distance and the fact thhat they were both married probably played into how often they saw each other. My point was. DV victims do NOT put themselves at more risk by having affairs. They just don't.

I'm not sure any one of us can definitively say what an individual suffering DV may or may not do.

 

[girlhasnoname]

My guess is we'll find out today.

Perhaps they were hatching a plan?

 

[Nikynoo]

Yes of course. But the defence took it and ran in my opinion

That is their job.

No, the defense brought it up.

BOMBSHELL: Upon cross examination it's revealed that #SuzanneMorphew bought a spy pen to catch #BarryMorphew in a suspected affair. No evidence of that. Instead it was Suzanne who was in a 2 year affair. She & lover met for 6 times and had 100 hrs of secret phone calls.

I’m somewhat surprised at the number out of state trips SM made to meet up with JL. I really wouldn’t expect BM to be agreeable with that much alone travel, considering how controlling he is! Moo

Yes, and if she said she was going to visit her girlfriends, would he check her social media to see if she posted photos, etc.?

that is true. But primarily, you keep yourself as safe as you can.

 

[girlhasnoname]

I have just one question after getting to the end of the thousandth message tonight. What time and date was the Hotel room in Broomfield reserved ? Thanks Everyone for all of the updates, could never have gotten through the hearing without you all. You all rock!

I don't believe it was talked about or verified yesterday IIRC

@ABC2020

Because it was all in the AA I am guessing.

Exactly, my thoughts as well.

 

[MsBetsy]

Yesterday it was said that he did not know about the affair.

I think they said "he told" investigators he didn't know about the affair.

<snipped from Oviedo's link above>

Investigators say they were paying close attention to Barry Morphew’s statements early on. He told law enforcement that he left for work that Mother’s Day morning at 5 a.m. But the arrest affidavit states that based on Barry Morphew's Telematics report on his truck, law enforcement allege "from 2:47 p.m. May 9 until 5:37 a.m. May 10, he took steps to dispose of evidence of Suzanne’s disappearance and death."

Supports the charging document:

COUNT 1-MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE (F1) Between and including May 9, 2020 and May 10, 2020, Barry Lee Morphew unlawfully, feloniously, after deliberation, and with the intent to cause the death of a person other than himself, caused the death of Suzanne Renee Morphew; in violation of section 18-3- 102(1)(a), C.R.S.

Yes, just because he said he didn't know, doesn't mean he didn't and they may have proof of that.

 

[SouthAussie]

I think they said "he told" investigators he didn't know about the affair.

In the same way that "he told" them he didn't murder Suzanne.

I take that with a pinch of salt.

 

[Alethea]

I think they said "he told" investigators he didn't know about the affair.

I believe Agent Harris said "And we have questions about that."

 

[Knox]

There may have been a couple of “eager” WSers post that exact info yesterday by misunderstanding what was being tweeted via different reporters. There were a couple of times yesterday some conflicting information was translated in tweets
1) distance of helmet from bike
2) 2 truck doors closing
3) timing of 2:47 pm Saturday translated to 2:47 am Sunday

Those are just a few of the distinct discrepancies I can recall quickly. Moo.
I try to look at several tweets to find correct info, not easy to do when fast moving threads are posting.

Anyone….Who is the most accurate twitter account to follow? TIA
MOO

Nielsen read a section of Barry’s arrest affidavit on the prosecution’s theory, which included data from Barry’s Ford 350 truck. The affidavit reads, as read by Nielsen: From 2:47 p.m. May 9 until 5:37 a.m. May 10, he took steps to dispose of evidence of Suzanne’s disappearance and death.

ETA This Timeline on when Suzanne was last heard from-
Lauren Scharf@LaurenScharfTV
THE LAST COMMUNICATION FROM SUZANNE was at 14:11 PM on May 9 between her and Jeff Libler on Linked In.

At the end of his testimony, Stanley asked Walker to confirm Barry claimed he left his home for Broomfield at 5 a.m. on May 10. Walker said this was true. Stanley also confirmed through him that the data in Barry’s truck showed “door activity” at 3:26 a.m.

Bringing forward some key dates & times from yesterday-

 

[SouthAussie]

I believe Agent Harris said "And we have questions about that."

If I had to guess, I would guess that BM knew there was something 'long distance' going on.

“He did say at some point he was suspicious of potentially an emotional affair, but not a physical affair,” Harris said. “There are some questions about that.”

[indicolite22]

I think they said "he told" investigators he didn't know about the affair.

He also said they had a great marriage. Saying he knew about the ongoing affair would contradict that.

 

[oviedo]

No, the defense brought it up.

@ABC2020

Thank you @Gardenista this is what I recalled as well. They want to disparage her reputation IMO. And so many sleuthers appear to be drinking their Kool-ade. She is the victim. period.
